I have to tell you guys something--I don't obsess over something new all willy-nilly. I'm very reluctant to list a movie as a favorite the first time I see it, because for me, a favorite movie has to kind of stand the test of time for me. I put a lot of thought into these sorts of things, believe it or not.

Which is why the way I'm obsessing over Horton Hears a Who kind of astounds me. This movie is just, I don't know, amazing, and I love everything about it... you have no idea, seriously. (Well, maybe you do.) I've seen it three times already, and it hasn't even been in theaters a month. My desktop background is the Mayor--hell, even my YouTube page background suddenly has the Mayor on it. How did that happen?

Anyhoo, enough blabbing about that. This is my entry for the ~Mayor-Fans ID contest (hence why the submission is small, ID size). The theme was "family", but I would probably kill myself before drawing his ENTIRE family. So I went with the wallet with a ton of pictures in it, because yeah, a wallet like that is pretty much win. And yeah, he had to have it custom-made... go fig, they don't normally make wallets that hold 98 photos. I never would have guessed.

I know in the movie, Jojo's picture was at the very end, but I wanted to show the kids in birth order, so I put him right at the top, right below his mom. I know he and Sally don't look so great, but that's a tiny space to work with, peeps! Besides, Jojo's kind of tough to draw. I might try drawing him later <strike>and get bombarded by billions of Jojo fangirls</strike> to prove to myself that I CAN actually draw him.

Also, the girl right below Jojo--the oldest girl, thus--her name's Zaneeta, I've decided. Why Zaneeta? Because in The Music Man, the mayor's oldest daughter was named Zaneeta, and it's kind of become a rule in my mind that all mayors' oldest daughters are named Zaneeta. I might draw a solo pic of her too, since I have her whole personality and such engrained in my mind... she'll be a major player in the fanfic that I'll probably never get around to writing.

THE SKETCH

THE END

Horton Hears a Who and all characters belong to Fox and Dr. Seuss Enterprises... although I did create the looks of those daughters! Okay, so I based them off some of the other daughters we see in the movie, but for cryin' out loud, cut me some slack...
