floppy ears are better

January 27, 2008

GOAT! Goats crack me up. I don’t remember these floppy-eared types at the petting zoos and farms of my youth, only the white (and black?) ones with sticky-uppy ears. More recently, I have had several close encounters with floppy-eared goats at a nice farm near the trail where we walk. Have you ever noticed goat pupils? I drew this goat with plus sign-shaped pupils, a la Kermit, before I realized that their pupils are really just horizontal rectangles (still very cool, but Kermit pupils would be slightly cooler). Anyway, if I ever, somehow, ended up with a farm, I would want to run some kind of goat and sheep retirement community. I would probably accept goats of any ear description, though.
