The scene: a perfect autumn day. The sun was shining, a gentle breeze was blowing, and we had decided to bless the driveway with our chalk masterpieces.
Mostly I was observing, but then, suddenly, my astounding artistic abilities were called into play. While I usually stick with flowers, bubble letters, and funny faces, I occasionally do accept requests. This was one of those days. Not for the first time, Thomas asked me to draw Yucky Man, one of the two supervillans from Race to the Tower of Power, his favorite Backyardigans episode of the day. Yucky Man is obviously played by Pablo, the blue penguin (what, you can't tell that's a penguin?!), and aspires to make the whole world "smelly, gross, and sticky." A fine role model. In case you can't tell, that is green goo shooting out of Yucky Man's hand.
Also in this picture, you might notice some of Thomas' own artwork. Right about Yucky Man himself is a beautiful swirl, representing the Tower of Power. To the right of that, you will see a beach, complete with sand from his sandbox. The beach is unrelated to our story, but I did think the use of actual sand was a nice touch. The green boat may or may not be the boat that Weather Woman and Captain Hammer use to sail across the lake, that is, until Yucky Man uses his supervillanous powers to turn that lake into a sea of gobbledy-goo! Man, the twists and turns in this episode...
And finally, at the very top, you can see the shadow of Thomas himself. CLEARLY the cutest little boy ever, yes?
