Bit of comic strip talk with  Gonechoo brought out how ``gator tots'' sounds like it should absolutely be a character. So here's one take on the idea. You may think this is just a slightly pudgy Alabaster Alligator and you're not wrong. But the pose owes something to a comic strip other than Walt Kelly's Pogo. Particularly, Gator Tot here is based on Gabby, the baby, and her pose in the penultimate panel of Bea R's In Security for the 21st, https://www.gocomics.com/in-security/2023/12/21

Anyway 'Gator Tot' really sounds like the name of an early-60s Hanna-Barbera shorts star, but how am I supposed to learn how to draw one of those?
