cigarette 1

I was looking at the blog of the fantastic cartoonist Jason and he did a series of sketches titled cigarette 1,2,3,4,etc. He commented on his April 17 post (Cigarette 6) "I don't even smoke, so I'm not sure why I'm drawing these characters, but anyway...". After I read that I really related to his comment. I always seem to draw these smoking animals, usually a dog, and I don't smoke. I actually don't like the smell of cigarettes. I hate when I'm walking to work and someone's smoking in front of me blowing their stinky smoke in my face. And don't get me started about these smokers who smoke right outside my office building entrance so you have to struggle through a pea soup of cigarette smoke to leave! Jeezus!! (
