Another Artist Mixing Penguins and Polar Bears

If I could start over again, I wouldn’t have penguins migrate to the Arctic in my strip – it is something I have to explain a lot – penguins should not be hanging out with polar bears (or speaking, for that mattter…). But I’m not the only one doing it and I was enchanted to receive this image in the mail from fellow artist and perpetrator, Erik Brooks :

Polar Opposites by Erik Brooks

I’ll have to find out how his penguin and polar bear got to be together! Erik?
