Nice touch having a jester poking the bear. I'm really not sure who may win. You know those small guys can be pretty squally. But that's a pretty big bear. I'm amazed with your tree. Your leaves and the bushes. Your old pal John.

Oh it's so long since I saw any of your fabulous cartoon work Mark and this one put a smile on my face for sure. Someone is ever the joker, poking the bear! Amazing detail here - it must take forever to draw all those leaves. I love it!

I had to laugh at this because I do this all the time to my coworker. I always tell her I love poking the bear! She doesn't always appreciate it but I still think it's funny. Thanks for sharing!

I love that you create special cards for your grandkids, this one is no exception! I love the bear and the way it's being teased here, I think I'm rooting for the bear too! This is well created with your usual great attention to the details, nice touch of humor too! Well presented Mark and I hope your grandson has a happy birthday!

A good looking image posted here into the competition together with interesting notes too! Wonder how that jester got into the scene. Colours, textures and tones are good. Nicely drawn and good luck!

    I'm sure as much as you have been in the states that you have heard "that joker is poking a sleeping bear". Meaning the joker is gonna regret it. Thanks for the great review

Indeed, neat-o work, artist friend Mark. Your fine cartoon work is literally amazing. Your witty sign adds to the drama. You always do fine work with sharpies and your motto is the most encouraging to all.

Love the description and back story. How cool is it to bring family together through creativity? This is a fun piece and I could see you t in a children's book.

    Funny that you say that..how about "let's fly sky high" by Rhonnie Jones and "According to Grandpa" by Elgie Ellis Bacon..still available on Amazon.com..i really don't pursue childrens books. The authors contacted me. I have done rock art, sports art as well as cartoon series like "Funnie Flowers" and "Strange Critters" cartoons over the years. Also for many years I'm a video creator. Recently I have doing the video ads for both Fanstory and FAR..I have been a sharpie/bic pen artist for over a half century now. I'm a easy find in the Internet world..just type my name MKFlood in any search engine and you might be surprised of what you find. Wink. Thanks for taking the time and review (thumbs up)

Hi Mark, You're so busy with creating the videos for FAR and FS it's nice to see an image of yours that's not related to that. I love your videos but I also love what you create when you're not in the mode above. Your children and grandchildren must be elated to have artwork created by you just for them.
Love the story within this. I'm rooting for the bear too! LOL Love the one open eye and snarling face of the bear. I think that Joker is about to lose his smile. I happen to have a six and this story deserves one. I'm clapping and cheering for both you and the bear! WooooHoooo! :o) Nancy
