Something a little different for you again. Last time we had a drawing from Samantha; this time we'll view a couple of drawings from me! I haven't drawn anything in many years. These drawings aree from shortly after I moved to NC. I used to enjoy making up little super hero personas for people I knew.

The first summer I was in NC Lennie was watching some kids at her church. One of them announced that he was "Red Ninja" but I didn't understand him very well, and I thought he said he was "Rug Bear". Thus Rug Bear and his pet goat named Dewg were born:



Originally Dewg was supposed to be a dog. But I tried to draw a dog and it looked more like a goat to me, so I just left it. That's how a lot of things happen in my drawings. I'm not a very good artist, so most of my best creations are by accident.

Here's Rug Bear's arch-nemesis, Lava Lion:



Lennie has a super hero of her own as well--the glorious Masked Turtle. The Masked Turtle is somewhat slow, being a turtle, but she makes up for this by use of super hero devices like her Jet Pack and her Bad Motorscooter:



The thing that looks like a square cow is Super Square Cow. He's old school, and has his own story unrelated to the Masked Turtle. He just makes a guest cameo in this picture.



If you ever wondered why our semi-yearly Christmas newsletter is called "The Masked Turtle" now you know.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures! I'm sure you'll get some 4th of July pictures before long, although nothing too exciting since it rained all evening long here on the 4th.
