Dad's Puppet

My dad has a puppet, whom he loves dearly. He's so good at puppeteering, sometimes I mistake the puppet if he was actually real. One time I saw the puppet on the sofa, and stuck my tongue out at it... !

Anyway, the puppet was sitting on top of the computer desk and I got my pastels out to draw it and surprise my Dad. I was really happy when I saw the look on his face. Mostly because he never comments on my art, unless it's REALLY good. So yeah...

The puppet's name is Nelson "Tenchon" Leon. His father is the main attraction at the San Diego Zoo and his mother is a rug at some rich person's house. He's related to almost EVERY lion in show biz and he is looking for a job there. However, he's been turned down by Disney many times, because he's not very "Child" appropriate. Nelson's got a big mouth and loves making fun of ALOT of people, no matter who they are. He's also... um... let's say...frisky. VERY! However, on those rare moments, Nelson's really sweet and he loves to play around with kids. He tells so many good jokes, and can even DANCE! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Nelson dances!!!

Ah well, I guess I should stop boring you guys about Nelson. It's just, I love him and my dad ALOT! This picture is very old, so excuse the badness of it. I'll try to make a better one sooner or later.
