Baby Encouragement Hippo

Sev­eral weeks ago, I received an e-mail from my friend Pat con­tain­ing this photo.
It spawned a pri­vate joke about how hip­pos sort of look like they come out of cans. (well don’t they?)

Last week, when I was totally freak­ing out over fin­ish­ing my comic for Image…I recieved a pack­age in the mail!

Can front & back

Is this a can of hippo??

Nutrition Facts

Serv­ing size one nuz­zle!!!
I even­tu­ally worked up the courage to actu­ally open the thing, and to my sur­prise, this is what I saw:

Why hello there!

Why Hello There!” The Hippo Exclaimed.
It then added, “You can do it!”.

The whole package

I seri­ously would not have made it through the week with­out that extra bit of encour­age­ment, and I can only imag­ine how long it must have taken to design and put together the whole thing. Thank you Pat!!!

    This is so cute! Ran­dom pack­ages are the best. Thats really funny that you were hes­i­tant to open it up. I prob­a­bly wouldn’t have thought twice :)
