Surrounded? I thought it said “ **stranded** by polar bear.” 🙂 ---

Neptune: He loved the picture! He thought the facial expression was great! Then he said “but… he’s supposed to have a hat!” _snort_ ---

OpalCat, Sure, copy and link to your heart’s content. It’s yours to do with as you please. If you prefer I could prepare it at a different size or resolution. As I was designing the illustration, I said to my friend … “Hmm. There seems to be something missing. I think he needs a hat.” But I ran out of time, as my friend wanted to take me ATVing. This was all just hours after you made your original post. But I had an accident on the ATV and I just got home yesterday. I figured I’d better post the picture before he grew up and won the Pulitzer, so no hat. Now I’ve got to figure out how to draw a cooking octopus. I hope the polar bears were sufficiently friendly looking. ---

ROFL!!! Thanks so much. It really means a lot to him (and me!) that people like his stories 🙂 ---

Thanks so much Neptune!! I put it in his journal here: > **[\[Mom here\]](https://dominicgalen.livejournal.com/8350.html?delayedid=)** > > Neptune from the SDMB was kind enough to make this illustration for Dominic's story: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/go-read-my-sons-story/116523.md?page=1)
