1973 Duck
I was somewhere between 3 and 4 when I drew this.
He had to wait thirty five years to move.
I have several duck pictures from when I was little. I liked to feed them at the park. I had a plush one instead of a teddy bear.
His name was Ducky Lucky.
I remember wanting to take him with me into the supermarket (Market Basket,) and my mom saying I'd lose him if I did.
My preschool brain thought that was ridiculous. He was my favorite toy. How could I loose him? I took him with me.
Guess who lost her duck that day?

that is the saddest story I ever heard
Hi Stray,
I remember being in the isle with pickles when it suddenly hit me that I didn't have my duck. It seemed impossible that'd I'd left him somewhere, but I had.
I wondered about his fate for years.
wow. now I better post about my sad duck story.
Hi Sally,
I checked out your duck story. That's a raw deal you got. At least my duck misfortune was my own fault.
And this is why I love animating. What can be more magical than bringing your best memories (well, if you don't count the losing your duck part) to life?
Oops. That was me. I was un-signed out of a different account. Sorry.
Why why why are these drawings the best? Namo, this is my favorite thing you've ever done--this animated drawing. Why is this? It's so strong and simple and funny!!! I love it!!
I agree with you about animation, Boodababy, It's cool the way it not only makes stuff move, it makes stuff appear alive.
Thanks, Linda.
I think kiddie drawings have their own lifelike qualities. When you're little you're not worried about the result. I wasn't thinking Does this look realistic? Is the perspective right? Do the colors clash? Do the lines look amateurish? No! That's WRONG! etc... Makes me think of the "is it good/does it suck?" demons from Lynda Barry's What It Is
I love this drawing / animation! I couldn't see it before because I was on a slow internet connection. It is FABULOUS!
Aw, thanks stray g.
Ducky Lucky lives!
