baseball kid is an underachiever, his painting is dinking a foul ball, and from looking at his stance, he is left-handed as well! (and facing the wrong way!!)
Good comments on “dexterous” [L. dexter] and sinister [L. sinister]. Of course Mark just explained in a post above why his creations are ambidextrous. But the concepts are old medieval and older cultural ideas going back to Islam/Judeaism/Hinduism before Christianity, which follow the other ideas. The left hand was the “unclean hand” used for toilet necessities and not to touch food, shake hands, etc. Thus we find that the ancients stereotyped left-handed individuals as “sinister.” Does that include the Devil?
Everyone forgot that it’s EarthDay!

i think that give a lil bit of speciality to this…

All he needs is a kid-sized sandwich board to put it on, and he’s good to go!

The kid with the house is looking at Lio’s painting but the kid with the ballplayer is the one with his hair standing up, what’s up with that?

Grog, the whole toon is black and white. If it had been in color, he may have used some bright colors.
Digital Frog over 14 years ago
They’re all left handed to make the toon look more sinister

As a left-hander, I’ll take that as a compliment, *DF*

Hey, it’s five minutes to three, and Lio just saw the school bus pull up to the curb - what do you expect him to paint?

@warreno…..Thank you for the ambidextrous complement!

Lio and other characters are all ambidextrous…they use whatever hand best serves the illustration.
