Artist's commentary
[Messing Around] Nice Nature
"Hey! S-stop. I said not to touch my ears or tail!"
"Ahaha, look, it's Nature's extended family! How fun!"
Well, they may be having fun, but not me. Hey, instead of just staring, how about you help me? Don't get me wrong—I like kids. They're cute and oh so innocent. They're completely harmless.
Except...
"Your ears are sooo cute! And so is your tail!"
"Yeah! Suuuuper cute!"
"Ugh..."
Is being completely harmless harmful in itself?
It's not like I care if a child calls me cute or not... I just can't say no when they start looking at me with those hopeful eyes and ask, "Can I pet them?"
"Don't look at me like that. I already told you no..."
But there's no anger in my words.
All right, I get it.
Pushback is futile.
By the end of it, I'll be persuaded by their sweet smiles and... ah, well.
