Loved my Teddy Ruxpin as a kid but, wow, this drawing is nightmare fuel.

40 years ago this month, Teddy Ruxpin, the world-famous talking teddy bear started hitting store shelves. Highly anticipated, it would be one the hottest toys of the Christmas of 1985.

That’s awesome! I grew up in Cleveland proper until I was about 9, and then in between Cleveland and Akron thereafter.

As a former resident of the Cleveland area I know how dangerous open flames can be by bodies of water. Please be careful.

But how would I get art (well, “art”) AND boil the ocean? Will a real artist blow-torch the waves while drawing for me? I think not!!!!
