"Neddy". Ha! That's wrong on too many levels and I know it....

For all of you folks out there who don't know, this is Mr. Ned McDodd from Blue Sky Studios' film, Horton Hears a Who! He is more formally referred to as "Mr. Mayor" but, as a Ned fan, I don't give a care what his name is as long as he is an appealing character, which he most certainly is. However, for the record -- and I'm sure all of you Ned fanatics are going to despise me for this -- I absolutely hate his name. Ned... McDodd. Nedry. Denis, the antagonist who got eaten by a Dilophosaurus in Jurassic Park, adorned the same cognomen (although it was his last name in that case). Point in question, I have never liked the name "Ned", and McDodd just seems a little too... odd. (Le pun was intended, above all means.) Although, I have to admit that it does fit him to some degree.

That aside, the drawings above depict what Ned looks like when I draw him. Oui, they are rather unusual. Ah well. At least I now have some scribbles of the Mayor in my new sketchbook.

Oh, and my apologies for the poor quality of the above image, by the way. (I did leave the construction lines in intentionally though, since construction lines are cool, in my humble opinion.)
