Delighted that you like it. At one point I had a store on Cafepress; they sold a bunch of stuff with that design, but not enough for me to get any money out of the deal.

Backstory: The critter was designed back in '07 as the core of the new logo for our local county Dems organization. He surfaced, literally, in my dreams one night, and I woke up and sketched him out. I look at that drawing today and it serves to remind me to never attempt artwork without glasses on! Anyway, the idea was to present Democrats as being every bit part of the American fabric, even though the GOP was trying to claim sole possession of that idea; hence, the "legs" fashioned from the flag's stripes, and the body formed from the "field".

Again, very pleased that you like it! And I hereby grant you permission to use it in any fashion that helps to promote Democrats. Howzat?
