Because one of you suggested via Robbi’s Skribit feed that she draw an illustration of a child riding a buffalo, she decided to do just that–in spite of her preferences, judgment, and aesthetic sensibilities. Here you go.

It’s not that she’s displeased by the result, but that, looking at it, she cannot understand it. Why is that child so happy? Why is he wearing a cape? Why is the buffalo so staid and underwhelmed? Is he purposefully trying to thwart the child’s glee? Or is he actually thrilled but lacks the facial muscles to show it? Why did Robbi name this illustration Bucking Buffalo? Was it meant to be ironic? Is there room for irony in illustrations like this one?

I know. It’s Monday morning. You’re not ready for such taxing thought. And neither are we. But this auction ends in less than five hours, and I am six days overdue in posting about it.

Here’s the link. Make good use of what little time you have left. Did that sound dire? Good. Sometimes obtaining an illustration can be a matter of life and, well, a different life.
