2-4-2sday: For Your Plesiosaur

Is there anything more representative of young boys than a dino-shaped innertube? Probably lots. Still, the image of the majestic sea-monster's horse-like head cropping up from a flotation device is rather iconic for those simpler times, specifically ones spent in a pool during the summer. Ol' Nessie probably didn't get taken out much for sledding, after all. It leads one to wonder... what would young dinosaurs use?

Ideally, I'd wanted to use a more plesiosaur-esque dinosaur, but I think this guy is charming in his own right, and a lot easier to work with than the long-bodied water-dinos. Also, I count myself lucky regarding the theme, as it allows the human to be cartoony... he's a toy, after all. Ironically, this simple thing wasted more sketch paper than ANY other shirt, to my memory. Hope y'all find him worth the time.
