May Flowers

The May installment for the 2008 Antcomics calendar!
So I wanted to do a Thanksgiving comic…here's the deal though: I still had seven more Antcomics Calendar pages to draw. I need to be finished with these by Christmas time. Yeah. I was realizing it's the middle of November…
So the May page was next. And I found a way to do both! HAHA!
This was inspired by a dorky joke I heard as a kid (and not surprisingly, I was a sucker for bad jokes):
Q: If April showers bring May FLowers, what do May Flowers bring?
A: PILGRIMS!
Anyhow. Here it is, and as I drew this it occurred to me that it was the perfect opportunity for a cameo. You all probably figured it out by now. Dracco is a swell guy, he always leaves nice comments here, and he has one of the kick-assest comics here at DD.
Check out Like Fish In Water:

In all honesty I will be gald when I can go back to regular strips. The calendar is fun, but I have so many other ideas it's a little frustrating in a way…if only I could draw FASTAHHH!
Oh, and as promised–there is a killer 50th strip (fast approaching) that will be a big Fanart Extravaganzaaaa. Stay tuned!

Hey! Gupi!!! Thanks a lot, Amy, for having the fishie visiting your strip! I guess he's coming for an autograph from the Ants... or from you? ;-)

Shoo the pilgrims away and have a nice holiday out in the open sea, I say! That's a mighty fine ship right there, I see no reason to complain! But one thing makes me wonder... I don't recall seeing girls in this comic... Hmm...

Is that a Plymouth rock in the background?

I heard that same joke too! *it's everywhere, I tell ya!* That's really great stuff. I know how it is to want to draw faster--I think the same thing to myself all the time! :D *lol* I was considering building a time machine so that I could give myself the advantage of using time to the fullest extent. (If only.) :(

Only 9.99 per hour? Pounds or dollars? Either way it's a steal!
