Inktober- Day 18- Magic Towel

When your good creative friends, Sumita writes a fun episode to a pre-school series, there is only one thing to do; do fan art of it!
Magic Towel is a one-off character from Pablo, a recent pre-school series that has earned a well-recieved following for its application of tackling autism in all its many  aspects. This episodes looks into this mascot - who probably owns more to Mighty Mouse than the original aesthetics- that has an earworm of a jingle to their advert. Think Triple-Dent Gum from Inside Out, and you get a good idea without seeing the episode.

It's worth a look.
