so one day, aka today, i got super bored and instead of sitting around wasting time checking my daily links to see if anything new had been updated (which it did not) i decided to do something creative rather than to revise (ugh). i decided that doodling would be the best thing to do and i instinctively drew a poorly drawn cartoon cat with a wonderful head full of hair. for added cuteness i also decided that a yarn ball should be sitting playfully next to the cat.
without thinking about it i uploaded this to deviantart but then came the horrific time of naming the drawing. at first i was just gonna call it Doodle 1 - cat (or something mundane as such) as i was thinking i would do a series of random doodles. so i closed the browser and started working on my next doodle of a dog. i drew its snout pretty darn good but couldnt get the body right so i gave up.
bad times. (although actually, i did put the snout in good use in episode 4 as the basis for Walter)
i looked back upon my cat for inspiration and suddenly thought, "WAIT! i shall name this cat! i shall name him ROBERT!" and so edited the title to be Robert the Cat. i then thought "lol this would be a great title for something like a childrens' book...OH WAIT! IT IS!" (duh). then i got to thinking how innocent and lulsworthy childrens' books actually are and tried to write in that style. i think i got it right because it made me giggle and blush in cutefulness of the two sentences written in a child's font.
AND SO ROBERT THE CAT WAS BORN UPON THE WORLD (for 4 more episodes) :D!
awww isnt he just the most diddums. I LOVE YOU ROBERT!!
