Some time ago we had some aboriginals from Africa came to the NCC.
Around that time I had doodled a Hyena, holding pencils in both hands and big monicals (5th down from the left hand side). The story behind that one was such:
A friend of mine and myself were bringing up bad animal stereotypes believed to be true way back in the day.
I WANTED to say that "Hyena's were thought to be Hermaphrodites"... but somewhere along the trail of thought, "Hermaphrodite" became "Androgynous" became "Ambidextrous".
And so I said: "People used to think Hyenas were ambidextrous!"
Pretty smart for fellas who don't even have any thumbs.
Well, when I related the story to the group of Nigerians (who were delighted and laughing at the thought of a Hyena with glasses and writing), they asked that I draw more Hyenas. Well, more like one had asked that I draw a Hyena in his likeness (this fellah laughed so much and at everything that his colleagues had called him "Hyena" as a nick name). At the time I was looking for a small design project to challenge myself, so I agreed.
Seen here were Hyenas based of the group of singers/dancers that came to visit, 3 plain caricatures for fun, and the ambidextrous Hyena.
I would also note: I am no longer doing any more of the "Circus" series due to too many people "making requests" when I asked specifically not. So considering people were too inconsiderate of my request, I figured I'd discontinue the work.

These are adorable. I saw that writing one and laughed like the one in the corner which made me laugh even harder.

More people should do that when it happens, I admire that you are.

No admiration neeeded- I am not doing anything that, on the grand scheme of things, changes the world to be a better place. Simply that I am not going to tolerate other people's lack of tact. I will be doing them for myself, simply not posting them.
I'm glad you laughed at the hyenas. They would be very sad to find out that they weren't funny if you didn't!
