Page 36: Buddy's Search for His Family Is A Failure

Today’s image is Page 36, which I skipped over a few week’s ago when my imagination was going through a barren period. My challenge at the time I first approached this page was to come up with four distinctive varieties of Monarch butterflies. I managed to do that today.

None of these butterflies are even aware that purple-faced butterflies like Buddy even exist, even when he’s standing right in front of him. Butterflies are so small minded! When Buddy asks them if they’ve seen his family, they all answer “no”, probably because they’ve never bothered to look at the world outside their own families. These butterflies are the product of my imagination. I know there’s really no such thing as a Monarch butterfly wearing a sheriff hat, and I know that normal butterflies certainly don’t have a mouth full of huge molars…except in my world they most certainly do.
