Today’s alpha-prompt is ‘M’. Inspired by this Pinterest image, I created my illustration of Prince Eric’s moppy top canine, Max.
The Little Mermaid is full of humorous lines geared for an older audience. I’m sure our young daughters didn’t quite get just how funny this film was until years later but to give you an example. After Ariel sees Prince Eric up close from the ships’ deck, she tells Scuttle how handsome he is but being the birdbrain that he is gets confused thinking she’s talking about Max. This is what Scuttle says this to Ariel.
“I dunno, he looks kinda hairy and slobbery to me.”
Max bears a strong likeness to a sheepdog who makes a number of cameos in the Thunderbolt audition and 101 Dalmatian Twilight scene.

Kislaya,
Lines like this are sprinkled throughout the movie. DH and I were impressed with the humor in these old Disney classics and were always a pleasure to watch with our kids. Thanks for visiting.
Wow! One of your best sketches, Cathy!
This is an excellent drawing of Max the sheepdog. I love the look and the hair. Love the line which could be about some men..heheeee.
Max sure is a moppy toppie and the sketch is so sweet
Pawkisses for a Happy Day
I had forgotten the dog on The Little Mermaid is named Max! He shares the name of our late beloved pet.
Very cute and happy puppy.
Max is cute, you did a great job with him.
Nothing wrong with that sketch, m’dear!
And we are half way through already! Wow.
Thanks, and best wishes!

He looks like he’d be “hairy and slobbery” indeed! Nice job!
Yep, a little hairy and slobbery. You’ve got him perfectly.
Max is perfect. I love your sketches.
We had a fabulous cruise last weekend. Perfect weather and everything turned out so very well.
Have a fabulous day and week, Cathy. Hugs and love. ♥
Hi, Cathy!
I am very late today because we got hit by a wicked storm late last night and our power was knocked out for nearly 10 hours. We just got it restored a little while ago, and therefore I am just now getting online and beginning my blogging day.
I adore your sketch of Prince Eric’s pooch, the slobbery, hairy, mop-top Max. He looks like a very friendly and affectionate fellow, and his pose tells me he is eager for a pat on the head and a treat. Max reminds me of the sheepdog that appeared in the 1959 Disney film The Shaggy Dog starring Tommy Kirk. I notice you placed Max in the “intertidal zone” (your “I” prompt) with waves lapping ashore, a ship on the water and a pretty mostly sunny sky overhead. It’s a wonderful composition, dear friend Cathy!
Have a safe and happy day and I’ll see you tomorrow, hopefully at my regular time!
Hairy and slobbery – yup, they’re always the cutest. Lovely sketch.
That sure is smile happy!
Well done! You captured big, slobbery and handsome.
What an amusing misunderstanding! I used to have a hairy slobbery sheepdog called Daisy! I’m having a mermaid day today.
