This character is actually modelled after a real vaudeville act. Robert loaned me a VHS documentary with the comedian/duck act, but I have yet to borrow a VHS player. I keep forgetting to borrow the one Teacher Teri offered me at Loving and Learning. I may want to change the drawing after I see the act. This is the first attempt.

Aldo says I forgot to mention his audition. You see he has been lobbying very actively to be a part of the story I’ve been working on with Bob Nichols. I told him repeatedly that there were no parts for dogs. Ducks, chimps, pigs, kangaroos, rabbits, si. Dogs no.
Then lo and behold, when I got to my last meeting with Bob, he had rewritten a big section, cutting the kangaroo segment and creating a new role for a conceited canine movie star. A dog to provide conflict for the feline star of the story. Is that ideal for Aldo? I suppose, but you know what they say about working with family members. I have reservations.
Anyway he did a cutesy little song and dance routine audition, Bob liked him and he got the part. I was going to include a snapshot from his “screen test”, but it has mysteriously disappeared.
