For some reason this week's questions took a LOT out of me. Why was it so hard to draw these? Some days are just bad drawing days, I guess.

I was looking through some of my ancient art and found this drawing of Colin and Jim that I posted to DeviantArt November 10, 2005. I used to draw SO MUCH in the 2000s, what happened to me.
