Blind Date

My original thought for this doodle was along the lines of Red Riding Hood. But when the dragon character was done, I looked at him and found that, in spite of the toothy leer and eating utensils in his pocket, I felt rather sorry for him.

His coat might be pinstriped, but the poor creature either cannot afford a pair of pants or doesn't have friends who can tell him that going on a blind date commando-style is just not in. And while he's leaning rather intensely into his date, it may be a result of near-sightedness rather than a lack of respect for personal space. All in all, a pitiful creature and, I felt, much deserving of a blog post at the very least.
