Sad Reptile and Oyly

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

As a child, I was always told that Cinco de Mayo was Mexican Independence Day, but according to Wikipedia, Cinco de Mayo is actually in celebration of the Battle of Puebla, and isn’t widely celebrated in Mexico. (Mexican Independence Day is September 16.)

In celebration of the Mexican Army’s victory over the French collection agency at the Battle of Puebla, here’s a sad reptile.

It’s celebratory (even though he’s sad) because it’s not one of my standard uninspired doodles. Still, he’s sad (maybe he’s French), so here’s a bonus.

I think she looks a little like Olive Oyl, and a little like a muppet. To escape the standby doodles, I started this one by scribbling on the sticky note. After that, I turned it different ways until I saw a picture… then I finished it.
