This is my image of Toby for Gary Baseman's #SemiBaseman competition. 

I really really hope to win this.

As a kid I really wanted to win a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pinball Machine. After sending off my entry to Agro's Cartoon Connection's P.O. Box, I discussed in detail with my parents all the options of where we were going to put the machine. I never found out the winning kid's name. The competition just came to mind less and less often until I understood I hadn't won.

This time will be different (although I'm once again counting on Dumb Luck).

Here's my entry.

​I remember in the mid 1990s, every piece of software, every game, every download had a 'Read Me' file. These files were seldom of any importance. Eventually many developers titled these files 'Don't Read Me'. They knew how it was. 

This is the first illustration from my new series.
