Artist's Comments

Awwwwww! This image I'm a bit less embarassed by. I decided to draw a slightly more realistic image of Apollo the guinea pig and this is what came out. There's nothing cuter than a popcorning piggy ('popcorning' is the term for when a piggy hops in the air and wiggles at the height of its jump- like popcorn does when it pops. They do it when they're happy. It's really a terribly cute sight.)

Go, Apollo, go!

Well! I never knew guinea pigs could jump. It looks so happy. Only crit I could possibly offer, and it's very minor, would be to make its body more shaggy; that would help it "read" more as a guinea pig as opposed to, say, a hamster. It's good to see such a happy little guy, bouncing around . . .

There are certain themes of which the interest is all-absorbing, but which are too entirely horrible for the purposes of legitimate fiction.

Hmmm, yeah. That's the trouble with drawing guinea pigs; unless you can see their rear it's easy to confuse it with a hamster. Actually, both hamsters and guinea pigs can have long or short hair. So it makes things a bit tricky.
