I thought I was going to miss another Illustration Friday, where this week's prompt is "liquid", because of a schedule that was booked "solid". Wouldn't that be a "gas"?
Okay, sorry...
Wolfgang is at freshman orientation today, and I was half-planning to go with him. After consulting with various expert sources (namely Chaco and Wolfgang), it didn't seem necessary. The thing goes on ALL DAY, and maybe 15 minutes of the parental portion would be helpful for us. So it was that or paint these ducks.
I never had a rubber duck as a kid and was rather jealous of Ernie on Sesame Street. But then, I had green humanoid Gumby and his talking red pony sidekick Pokey to bathe with.
My non-conformist waters run deep. Or maybe I just watched too much TV.

Loved your puns, and your duckies!
When I had baths as a child I made up soap commercials. I don't remember having any bath toys, but I probably did have a ducky at some point.
"Rubber ducky, your the one, you make bathtime so much fun. Rubber ducky, I'm awfully fond of you...booboo boobydoo."
This is great :) My little ones have so many of these lying about the house, they are like interior decorations :) You really capture the likeness of them! Superb.
These are adorable! I especially love the dressed one!
I'm guessing the "experts" didn't have to tell you twice that you weren't needed at the orientation. Don't you just love that they can do those things on their own now? Leaves you more time to color! :)
Lovely illustration. I had a pink My Little Pony instead of a rubber duck. Wasn't quite the same!
Thanks! And I think a pink MLP was closer than Gumby.
There was no arm twisting to keep me away from orientation, believe me!
Thanks! My kids had one too. I made sure of it after my scarred childhood.
Soap commercials? Did you sing soap jingles? You certainly should have! *throws money at the stage*
Great rubber duckies. I never had them either. My kids did though.
Thanks, I guess they're not necessities then, right? Since we turned out okay? Right?
Your duckies would look great in a child's bathroom, even though the one behind looks a bit concerned about something. What could it be?
I never had a rubber duckie as a kid either. I have one now. For some reason, my sister included one as part of a birthday gift. Yours are cuter though.
Terri, someone gave my mother a rubber duckie. It was a symbol of letting your troubles slide off your back like water slides off of a duck's back. (As opposed to holding on to troubles.)
Your sister probably just thought it was cute though. :)
OH, I like that symbolism!
