I got a catalog recently of hotrod merch. I'm a big geek for cars... partly because my brother is a racer (is in the SCCA). I saw a sign in the catalog that said "Eat My Rust" and thought that would work well in a cartoon. I did a different design for the saying, though. This is Lorin (who is based on my brother) and Paw (based on our Dad) hanging in Lorin's garage after working on one of his cars.
