"Nick and the Stupid Evil Zebra of Doom" by Christina Joy Sanders

Okay. This is Nick, he's the father of that disturbed kid with the scrath on his chest. He's charming, witty, and flirty, even though he's been completely chast since his wife and child died. Slightly insane too, in the not-good way; he's convicned that his kid is still alive and being hidden from him, and collects a whole band of followers to wreak havoc on the government that he thinks ruined his life. He's right about the kid, but there's no proof. He spends his time now stealing, vandalizing temples, searching for his kid, and performing music as a front for his little band of thieves. He also apparently breeds mutant Zebras in his free time, because that one there has a tail that is ridiculously long.

I do not like drawing things with stripes, it's PAINFUL. Takes so long, and I get lost in there, I forget which ones are black and which are white...stupid evil Zebra of doom. but Nick looks cool, I love his pose and his grin and his hair and his boot and his leg and his arms... aw heck, I just love him. If only he'd cooperate with me, he wants to be a pirate and is all mad at me because I won't let him. Which is why he made me draw him on zebra, when he knew I hate drawing them.

oh, and yes, I know the saddle has no stirrups. Oops. It's Nick's fault!
