Fanfare please…
I’ll be back doing the blogging thing next Tuesday.
See you then!
Hey, Look! A Writer Fellow! 
Cool elephant! Nice to have you back
T’anks. And now I gotta catch up on your blog.
Just a bunch of paintings no worries.
Adorable, Mike! I want the stuffed animal version.
Hm! I want that, too!
Yippee!!!
You were in my thoughts recently, Laurel.
I spent the bulk of my summer revising my middle grade novel — and I am pleased to report that salamanders play a small yet pivotal role in the story.
Awesome indeed.
Aw, thanks D. Wallace. I missed you.
It’s about time, slacker….
Hey, don’t hassle me, lady.
I guess I should pack away my white pants by then!!
Yep. Always check this blog for fashion tips.
Hooray! Also, as a former trumpet player, Yay!
How cool! Have you ever had a pet elephant?
No, but I bought my cat a corduroy rhino after he had been after me to get him a pony.
Close enough!
The fare is fanned!!!
As long as the fanning isn’t unfair.
Yay, can’t wait for more of your posts!
Oh, you!
Nice tease. I made my announcement on social media last week, but very few seemed excited about it.
Oh, well. Guess I’ll come back too. 😉
Groovy! If both of us come back at the same time it’ll be an EVENT!
it’s about time. I am very curious as to the places the salamander will go.
If the book ever gets published, I promise to donate a copy to every elementary school in Whatcom County.
You’ve been missed. Great news. Maybe the elephant should have been slightly bigger
But the bebe elephants can make a big noise!
I haven’t stopped by in a while, because I knew you were taking a break. YAY!! Can’t wait to see it up close!
I’m so glad you like it, Dee!
And I must admit, I’m gonna be a little sad to drop this guy in the mail. I looooved drawing him.
Talk about tooting your own horn! (Sorry, I couldn’t resist) 😉
Love the drawing, it’s adorable.
Thanks, Michelle! I never knew just how much I liked drawing elephants.
Yay!! You’ve been missed!
Aw, shucks!
Have missed your fun posts! Glad to have you back, just before I take off for a few weeks.
Wha? Well, have a good vaycay!
So why do elephants wear red sneakers?
I know I’m gonna regret this… I dunno, Cricket; Why do elephants wear read sneakers?
Elephant I know why. I thought you knew.
I was right. I regret it.
Mawhaha!
Yay! I’ve been missing for a few weeks myself, see you around soon!
Dang. I better figure out what I’m gonna write about.
The art and history of the elephant joke. Yes, even I, cow lover that I am, can appreciate a really great elephant joke.
Well, it seems I like drawing elephants ever bit as much as I like drawing cows. So if you ever need me to pencil a parade of pachyderms…
You are back (sort of)! Woo! Let’s hear it for trumpets! (no pun intended) (I lied. – OF COURSE the pun was intended!) (Sorry for the bad pun)
😉
Punning. This is how you welcome me back? I am ashamed of you, Erik.
You know, you crossed my mind this morning and I wondered if you started back up again, figuring I was missing good stuff! So glad I haven’t 🙂 I was going to email you with the link to my Princeton Book Festival post so you could enjoy it vicariously, but I’ll give it to you here:

Totally looking forward to your return, Mike, as always 🙂 You are SUCH a bright spot! And that elephant!!! 😀
I missed you, Donna! And I’m planning to play blog catchup all this week.
