Space drawing

Just wanted to post this really cool picture that Roel drew recently.


It's a picture of outer space, mostly our solar system. You might be able to figure everything out, but I'll provide a description, just in case. To the left is the sun, of course. It's a fairly happy sun. We've all seen the sun depicted with a happy face, but I think the legs and arms are a bit more original. You can see the planets in the upper right. You can probably guess which one is Earth. It's the large one with the land masses drawn. It's also the only planet without a happy face. I like to think it's Roel's way of making some sort of political statement, perhaps a commentary on the climate change issue. He then has two kinds of stars -- the little dots are your basic, garden variety stars. The other ones, with happy faces and tails, are shooting stars. (I could have described them in another way -- to me, they look like, well, I'm sure you can use your imagination...) Overall, a pretty happy system. Not a frown in the sky. I like to think that it reflects your typical 4-year-old's outlook in life. Happy, happy, happy (well, at least until Dad says it's bath time, and then bed).
