Soggy Police Cap Tom Slumped in a Puddle

A worn-out cat sits on the floor in a big puddle, leaning back against a long rail or bench behind him. He wears a police-style cap with a badge, a short-sleeved collared shirt and a tie, and his clothes look torn and soggy with drips running off the hat, sleeve and foot. His tongue hangs out, one hand rests on his forehead, and little stars and swirly lines float around his head to show he is dazed. In the lower right, a small mouse sits in the same puddle, also dripping and looking a bit shaken, with tiny stars and squiggles near him. The wet floor has wavy outlines and a few short marks. Try soft blues and grays for the puddle and shirt, then a bright color for the badge. It is also a fun page for talking about how cartoon characters show feeling with swirls and stars.
