Larry the Pelican
Meet Larry. He's a brown pelican fisherman/beach bum from the Florida Keys. He is lazy, laid back, friendly, and a derpy eccentric goofball. He will almost never be seen without his battered fishing hat, fishing pole, a bottle of Corona and a violently colourful Hawaiian shirt.
Drawing this guy has been on my to-do list for a few years now, so better late than never I guess! He's been inspired by all the many trips I've taken to the Florida Keys to go fishing with my parents. I really love it down there; it's a fascinating and surreal place and I have a lot of happy memories from those islands. One of the highlights of the environment for me are the brown pelicans who show up by the fish cleaning tables to beg for scraps after a good day out on the water. They're so graceful in the air, and so hilariously goofy waddling around on land. I love them, and I dedicate Larry here to all the joy and amusement they've given me over the years.

You are often thought of. ^^ Thought of ya when I actually saw a couple key deer while I was down in the Keys a few weeks back!
And yes, I can totally see them doing that. Probably both to celebrate when the fishing is great, and to commiserate when the fishing isn't so great. Or at least when the catching isn't so great, fishing itself is never 'bad,' my Dad insists. ;)
