I said "attempt" and I meant it; this was by no means perfect. It was
something I'd been meaning to do for a while, and figured the wake for
cgf's laptop needed a little New Orleans jazz... (if ya get the metaphor)

TTTT, me too -- in the generic sense that "otters are always on their
back, floating in the water, cracking open abalone shells by banging
them against a rock that is resting on their chest".
Don't know why, but that's the image I always picture when I think of
otters. Probably from some silly "Blue Dolphin Island" or somesuch book
I may have read as a child. But this isn't my therapist's office, so
we'll just leave it there.

Sounds neat. If you have the crappy scans, I'll take a look and see if
I can't doodle something similar. But I truly have no non-musical
artistic talent at all; I have to have something to look at...

No, not at all ... but it'll be a while; I've got "family issues" for
the next few weeks.
Now, Tux has an established "look"; regardless of pose, you always
recognize Tux as distinguished from some other penguin (like Opus, the
political-junkie penguin from Bloom County). "My" rendition
unfortunately doesn't have that sort of personality...
But, the point remains: Tux is Tux is Tux regardless of pose.
Similarly, [*] is [*] is [*] -- whether lying on his back or sitting
upright.
[*] cutesy name to be determined later.
