Hop, hop hop!
This is a bit too long in coming, and for that, I apologize! This is a really fun drawing by Debbie Huey, creator of the irrepressible Bumperboy! It looks like Toad has taken the infamous Kuribo's Shoe, which made it's first and only appearance in the mega-super-ultra-hit of the late 80's, Super Mario Bros. 3.
Did I mention that this is essentially a sneak peek for Debbie's Life Meter comic? I remember going back and forth with Debbie on what the heck Kuribo's shoe might be. Who WAS this Kuribo fella? But Western localization of the game proved to have the answer. "Kuribo" is just the Japanese name for something we call in some circles, a "Goomba". Ah, well. Can't wait to see this story in action, Debbie!
