I’m guessing this is one of those Rorschach “tell me what you see” sort of pics. I see Laika as snubbing her former “handlers” and going off leash with her nose in the air (or non-air, as the case may be). That sort of “humph!” is drawn with the eyes closed and the nose up. Only our girl isn’t being snobby, she’s just sassy!
It’s interesting that this drawing makes reference to Mystery Science Theater 3000 (with the Satellite of Love in the background) and now the RiffTones (the singing side of the RiffTrax gang–former MST3K alum, still skewering flicks. Check out http://www.rifftrax.com) are going head to head versus Jonathan Coulton in the most recent Song Fu battle!
Maybe the Satellite of Love will pick him up!
LOVE the S.O.L. reference! Great work, Len! Simple. Elegant. We can assume she’s only asleep if we want to…
And, did anyone notice Canis Major in the upper right?
Great job as always, Len!

Why I see the drawing and all I can think is MST3K?
Keep the good work Jonathan. The song is lovely. Along with some other more that you’ve done before. Kudos for that!

Coincidence or synchronicity?
Sweet little Laika. Great image. I’m sure Mike, Joel, and the bots on the SoL will take good care of her when she’s ready to come inside.
JoCo, I’d love to see this one in concert. It’s a new favorite – high frequency on the playlist.
