Continuing my 'fat furry doodle' series for this latest 'sweeps month' (November, 2012), this latest gag was inspired by a novelty item I'd remembered in my youth...

Back in the 1960s, I used to save my money in various coin receptacles (including a tin box with 'Popeye' on its cover, which only took dimes, and registered the total amount [digitally] with each coin that was inserted). Of course, piggy banks - made of metal or ceramics - were quite commonplace, but I had a cousin who owned a plastic piggy bank, with an anthropomorphic porcine character, whose belly would expand whenever more money was placed inside of him.

I'm just surprised that banks of this sort came only in the shape of pigs, and not in the form of other animals. So, once again, I took it upon myself to render a doodle of another animal whose midsection would be distended with lots of currency. (And, once again, it was rendered on the back of a flyer [from my old 'toll collector' job] in blue ballpoint pen ink.)
