![“Bongo” Ballpoint pen, pencil, watercolor, acrylic paint, and a little colored pencil.
Our man is in trouble this time, reader. Art supplies are scattered around a painting of an abstract cityscape. On the canvas we see a man in a telephone booth making a frantic call to his cat, Bongo. In the foreground, an answering machine is taking his voicemail, [Leave a message at the beep] --- “Bongo, Daddy got stuck in the painting. Go get help, Bongo.” Bongo stands at the base of the easel looking at the phone. Her tail in the air and ears perked up. Whether she’ll be able to help is open to interpretation.
Artist’s note: One of my favorites from the Spooky Pants book. I was playing around with the idea of a painting coming to life (like that guy in Ghostbusters 2) and kind of fumbled my way into this version. I really draw a lot of corded phones. I won’t stop.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hkxtqxfvk4xh2roqbkebmoiq/bafkreid675pobhckre5wbkxub5qfu3vaxbls7mpuhlcidhvbbrjw6iua2e)
