Bravo, squire! I particularly am in awe of the way you have accurately portrayed the Mustela erminea (stoat). He is elegant in his posture and somewhat fetching on the eye. I might even suggest he is somewhat flirtatious the way he is looking at me. He is looking at me, isn't he? Pip, pip!

i dont get it... am i suppose to??
Liptrip ~ I used to play Chinese whispers when I was little. It's a game where a message gets passed along a line of kids by them whispering to each other and passing it on. Whatever a kid hears is what they whisper to the next kid and so on and so on. When the last kid says out loud what they've heard the message is usually a somewhat distorted version of the original.
So back to this design, the message started off as "The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea, in a beautiful pea-green boat." But by the time it'd has been whispered to me I heard it as "The vowel sitting pussycat, drank some tea with a dutiful pea-green stoat". Hence the nonsense.
In a beautiful pea-green boat.
