An entry for this week's Illustration Friday theme 'Skinny'. I'm not sure whether I like the term 'What's the skinny?' or not - it pops up every now and again on the web and seems to be seeping into common speech. Funny how American New Yorker-isms are so potent they can rapidly spread across the Atlantic. Reminds me of Steven Poole's article on the term 'put it to me this way': http://unspeak.net/put-it-to-me-this-way/

that's true. nice illustration!
like the character, tho' thankfully never heard the expression - yet. Liked your blue rabbit and your photos of St Agnes on flickr - we were there the week before - you had a lot better weather.
Very fun. The type is excellent!
