They all loved the drawings to bits and laughed uncontrollably the whole time. I've had similar situations before, and I've been thinking. I bet what happens is they're wheeling around these really funny looking people that they take care of, and they know they look funny, and their wondering, "I wonder what a caricature of a retarded person would look like. caricatures look bizarre already." It's usually middle-aged, not so attractive women pushing these people around. I bet they're just so curious if the caricature will look like the disabled person, and will it look scary and wierd? It's an intense curiosity that takes over . And when the crazy drawing happens it's like a hilarious cathartic moment for them, especially when they decide to come get drawn on the International Day of Jackin Faces
After that I took my lunch break. When I returned it was slow for a while, so I did this fun drawing of Dan K. I'm pretty happy with it. Nate's done some very good ones of him, so it was hard to avoid some of the discoveries he made.
Then, I drew this baby. It was so sad the whole time, and everytime he noticed me, he started crying. He had a really great frowny mouth. This is probably the most extreme frown shape I've drawn in a park sketch. Check it out, Sam, and everyone else that reads my blog, by which I mean Kev.
Last sketch of the day was this one.
I thought it was gonna be a reject because it doesn't look so cute and cuz of the mouth all gaping, but it looked like her and the body situation turned out fairly dynamic. They bought it. Hooray.

Come on now, Aaron. I read your blog too, not just Sam and Kev. Did you not get any pictures of the old people in wheelchairs caricatures?
I read your blog, too, Aaron!
Alright. I retract that statement.
And thank you
Sam, What's a soother? That sounds kinda scary.
