For my dad who requested “Vulgar Boatmen” inspired by the song he loved as a child “Volga Boatmen”. This was about as vulgar as I was comfortable being. After all, this is a family website.

For malibufumanchu’s cousins moonlander andlobsterpants, “Dear Josh, We are big-time fans and would dearly like to request a picture of animals that begin with X debating over which one gets to go in the Animal ABC. Much love and thanks in advance, Joe and Melissa.”

There are animals that start with the letter “x”. Who knew?

This is a drawing, possibly a birthday card, I made for my friend Amy when we were studying in Prague in 2002.

As you can see, little has changed in 10 years…

For malibufumanchu ”Hi Josh, You are my favorite illustrator in the entire universe and the sexiest man alive. I just found out my brother and his wife are having another baby! In honor of this wonderful news, would you please draw me two adult kangaroos, one with an infant kangaroo in its pouch, and the other with a toddler kangaroo on its shoulders, and they are holding hands jumping through a field of flowers? Thank you! You’re my hero!”

Uh, just some things going here.

This was inspired by this.

For professionalcrazedfan, “Hi! Could you draw a picture of my dog hot water bottle cover, Bob McCready, making himself comfy in bed? My husband insists on throwing it on the floor as he thinks he’s filthy, and I wind him up by telling him Bob spends all day lounging in the bed. If you google image search “dog hot water bottle cover” you can see roughly what it looks like, only perhaps a little grubbier. Technically, this isn’t an animal but he is very cute. Thanks! PS LOVE your work!”

Thank you!!!

For jf119437 , “Dear Josh: I love your drawings (an embarrassing amount) and have joined Tumblr exclusively to make this request. I’m defending my doctoral dissertation on August 28th and I am super, super nervous. Can you draw for me a panda (me, I always have dark circles under my eyes) with big hair who has successfully defended? Most importantly, the panda is wearing a skirt suit and heels. Flats are for quitters, Josh. Thank you! And please do more drawings of otters - we all like the otters :) Jenna”

Thanks so much Jenna!
