Lick Like A Dog

Here again the goateed dog walker takes a cue from his pooch and laps enthusiastically at the thick muscular thighs of this big gentleman. I like the details on the window framing the scene but the justification for the suitcase being used as a prop eludes me (but I'd like to hope that's neither here nor there). There's not much to say about this drawing, it speaks for itself in both design and intention. Rather than just diving in for the goodies our lucky red-headed pet owner is respectfully circling his target zone, heightening the anticipation for "The Big Chew."
