Deeply asleep—I see drool glistening at one corner of his mouth. I draw his closed eyes and his open mouth. I have a hard time with the drool. It ends up looking more prominent than it actually is.

The resemblance to Humpty Dumpty is uncanny, so I draw a wall, then a second sketch—of his great fall.

I dont know from what. She uses both hands to pinch her shirt at the shoulders, then shakes it in an attepmt to dislodge the hairs.
Then an incredible vivid picture of Battle in the shower forms itself in my brian. Yep, again.
