The following set of sketches are a sequence shot of Ernest trying to weed the garden. Weeding is one of the big, important jobs that Ernest got to trade his big brother for, so the event transpiring in the third sketch is a pretty big deal. The next few lines are an excerpt from the current story text.
'It came up easily with a small "pop!"...It wasn't a weed. It was a carrot!
...Ernest tried to push it back into the ground, but it wouldn't go.'
I've done this plenty of times--trying to plant something, only to have it snap in half in the crisp, delicate way only plants can do.
Meg, I love the first two images of Ernest--especially the "stuff . . . stuff . . . stuff." I also love the text with the sketches. Wonderful.
