The First Grader is quite an artist. Lately, he’s been coming up with cartoon characters and writing stories to go along with them. I was putting away some of his drawings when I came across this:
And this:
Hmmmm. I don’t want to read too much into this, but is it possible that I’m not as charming as I think I am?
I love that Bad Baker's feet are as big as loaves of bread.

As an art teacher, I can very much appreciate a lot of good artistic skill in these for a first grader. The fact that the body is more than a line is awesome! And those tongs look like the First Grader worked a long time getting them right. Please let him know I think it's great and he should keep it up!

Startlingly accurate depictions. The kid has an eye for capturing real life.

I think they are the start of a Kitchen Super Heroes series.
I hope you'll share whatever is next.

The merchandising potential is nearly limitless. I want in.

Harrison3: We're gonna be rich!!!
renaissance: He's a smart, funny little guy.
CC: Yes, apparently I'm quite scary!
Karen: You bet I will.
Husband: Yes, the baldness was another clue...
megan: Bet you can't wait to find out!
Amy: I'm sure that's exactly what he meant!
Dad: Wait until he starts drawing you!
Sis: Agreed.
Jacquelyn: I will definitely pass that on. Thanks for the encouragement (and I don't mean that sarcastically at all!).
April: Yes, these will definitely be framed.
maQ: I think he gets his artistic side from you and Husband.
kitchensinkroslyn: Yes, it's all in the interpretation, isn't it? I won't lie--I'm worried about the teenage years.
Carolyn: True, but somehow I don't see him portraying you guys in anything but the most flattering light!
jen: Beware of my roundhouse sourdough!
