It may look as if Mr. Sunshine is in a good position to ambush me as I come up the stairs and his expression may support this idea, but he is actually demanding that I make the sun come back to his box. Sorry, Mr. Sunshine, we can’t do that

I guess that’s what brothers are for. Or it could just be that Bean dozed off, sitting up, looking out the window, while Giuseppe decided to watch me in the kitchen. Bean’s got a few extra lumps on his outline because he moved. Click here to see other daily sketches.

Yes, Giuseppe is napping, but it’s not a serious nap, it’s a vigilant nap. He’s on my worktable under the lights while I am at my drafting table and computer in my studio, and apparently he’s been assigned to keep an eye on me. They take turns at this, and
