As if its abilities have not been demonstrated enough, the Rug Shark pulls out all the stops to show how screwed any dirt is that has the misfortune of straying into its path. Rachel and Catherine roll with this change in the program, still maintaining their professional decorum.

I'll admit this sketch is a weird one and probably needs some explanation: Years ago I got this book called the Taro Gomi Wake Up Doodle book. Basically its a series of low-effort art and half assed drawing prompts relating to waking up or being tired. Then about halfway through the book, it gives up on even that amount of work, and just has page after page of random shapes. Every time I see this book kicking around, it pisses me off a little. Today, it came across my path while I was putting some newly purchased books away, and I decided to use it to try out some acrylic markers I'd gotten. But what to draw?

My mental image of the author, Taro Gomi, was that of an aloof, artistic man who considers himself to have refined tastes, so I decided to draw something that he would hate to have in his little farted-out art book: and drew the most exaggerated big boobied, big haired woman I could possibly muster. The cheap paper sucked up the acrylic marker quite a bit, so she looks like she's painted on a piece of wood or something, but I think she has a certain charm about her. I like to think that if Taro Gomi caught wind of this, he'd be out there somewhere crying into his twelve dollar latte.

Actually, now that I've researched the guy, it turns out he did the kids book "Everybody Poops", so he might not be all bad.
