February 28: Directions!
Looks like the panda has figured a way to decide which door to choose. One of them has a draft, it seems.

I got to play around with some copic markers at Wizard World this last weekend. I think I see what the fuss is all about. I think I’ll have to acquire a grey set one of these days. @copicmarker
February 23: wWhich Way?
February 24: Rummaging.
Four panels on one piece of wood these few days…because I’m running out of scraps and it just felt right.
Pangolin character sketch! Because I kept forgetting his bow tie.
Pangolin character sketch..!
I found I kept having to refer to old comics to remember how to draw these guys. So here’s the first. Did you know Pangolin started out with a bow tie? Because I forgot in most of those pages. Eh well. It’ll get fixed now that I’m aware of it.

Say Cheese!
These will start showing up in color on my patreon: DanieDreams! New line art will show up here, and backers will get behind the scenes info as well as the colored versions when they show.
World Pangolin Day: February 20th
The Field houses a few pangolins within its collections – the one pictured above, the Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) came to us from a zoo in Chicago [India, originally]. There are eight species total, and are historically widespread across parts of Africa, and Asia. Unfortunately, I worry that museum collections such as ours will someday too soon be the only places where we may see these remarkable animals.
Pangolins are the most heavily trafficked animals in the world. Every day news stories are published globally about the unsustainable and overwhelming levels in which these animals are taken from the wild and killed, or shipped live to markets in Myanmar, China, Vietnam, and other areas in Southeast Asia. Their meat is considered a delicacy, and their scales, bones, and other body parts are sold to be used as medicine – although there’s no scientific evidence that supports beliefs of their healing properties. According to an IUCN Pangolin Specialist group, they are literally being eaten into extinction.
Read more on NPR (although there are many, many news stories of this circulating) – and even though it may not seem like much, supporting #WorldPangolinDay (third Saturday in February) helps to elevate global awareness of this problem.
Today!
These little guys are awesome… But more so alive.
View Through the Scope
This is what our pangolin friend was looking at.

February 18: I’m Watching You.
I think Badger should take this to heart. Rabbit doesn’t seem like the sort to mess around.
February 16: Remorse?
Looks like Badger is stuck with them at the bottom of this hole… He is sincere, isn’t he?
Color!
These will all start showing up in color! Digital, of course, so I don’t screw up the originals. Color has never been my strong suit, so I look at this as a continuation of the learning.
February 15: Assessment.
Dusting off, making sure the equipment works, and glaring at the interloper.
This drawing done while chilling at a burgerville and drinking soda. The last two days were sort of a birthday extravaganza for me, so it’s nice to hang out with my sweetie and art for a bit, and doing so at a bar or a restaurant with wifi is one of our favorite things to do together.
And conveniently Kelly Sue messaged and made sure I was working.February 12: Lets See What We’ve Gotten Into Now.
Winner for the longest title so far.
February 10: Hit Bottom.
Well all those doors are rather convenient… I wonder which one they should take?
February 09: Safe Landing.
Though just looking at Badger makes my back hurt.
February 07: Pfoom!
I almost put in some onomatopoeia, but then remembered I’d decided this would be a wordless comic. So I’ll save the onomatopoeia for the title.
February 06: A Plan?
Maybe this is why she was having so much fun in the fall.

February 4: Cannonball! And February 5: Reaching.
It figures Rabbit would be all about falling down an unknown hole. I wonder why that robot is down there?
February 03: Cardio.
I feel like I’ve titled too many of these “run.” I’m so glad they remembered the pangolin’s hat. I think I might have forgotten it without them.
Wups. Posted in the wrong place.
February 02: Run!
Well, at least they’re all in agreement on this: staying with the giant, annoyed robot might be bad.
Wups. Posted in the wrong place.
February 01: Spotted!
Badger has realized that’s a big robot eye he’s reflected in…
Ahead is another month of wood comic drawings! Continuing where I left off in October. We spent the bulk of December and January moving into our new house, and it left little time for art, but now I’m back for my birthday month.
