Albert Alligator

This is where I'd usually talk a bit about the character... but truth be told, I really don't know much about him.  I discovered Albert about two weeks ago, when I was walking through a flea market and I saw some old drinking cup with him on it (though oddly, he was wearing a red scarf).  He's from an old newspaper comic strip called "Pogo", which started in the 1940's (and sadly ended in the 70's).  While I haven't read too many of them, they do seem to be pretty good, so I recommend you look some of them up on Google Image Search.  There's also a Chuck Jones-produced cartoon and a stop-motion short based on the comic, but I hear both are pretty well hated by Pogo fans, so check 'em out if you're curious (I haven't yet).

(I like his character design, which is why I to drew him.  That, and like I've said in the past, I like drawing obscure characters.  I dare say Albert more than qualifies in that department.)
