And For No Reason Whatsoever…
Dear Writers:
After days of waiting and wondering, check out heylookawriterfellow’s doodle. Isn’t it the most beautiful doodle you’ve ever seen?!!!
Yes, I cried.
And For No Reason Whatsoever….
Mr. Allegra, you have made a lot of little kids, big kids and one canine in Whatcom County WA extremely happy. A truly proper thank-you post will be coming forthwith—as soon as we finish dancing and singing in the streets.
XO Laurel Leigh
Dear Writers 
Did you hear? Just came over the news: Thanks to Artist Allegra all schools in Whatcom County will be closed tomorrow in celebration of the first annual We ❤ Salamanders Day! There's gonna be a parade, a picnic and a salamander look-alike contest. In the event of a downpour the event will be rescheduled for the following Friday, or the one after that, and so on. Thank you, dear Mr. Allegra!
What, no school! Hooray!!! I’ll start sewing my salamander costume right away. I have the perfect red thread!
Shirley! Welcome to the world!!!! 😀 Thanks, Mike! You’re one in a million!
Mad love to you Jil for everything, including limericks! I am dancing in my jammies!
Dancing in SF, too. You rocked it, girl, with your battalion of wheedlers. Mike-a-doodler didn’t stand a chance. 😀
We wheedle well in Whatcom County! You wheedle pretty well over in San Francisco too, Ms. Hoffmann. I could sense your empathy for our endeavor, having previously been honored with an original Allegra doodle.
Yes, they are treasures! And I think that’s your opening line for the poetry speakeasy: We wheedle well in Whatcom world. Say that fast three times. 😀
Yes, treasures indeed–both for the art that makes you smile and the numerous laughs you get en route to getting the art.
Oooh, I like your suggestion for an opening line!
Mike the salamander is great. Everything we hoped for. Thank-you. You are a God among men. A Paragon. A Shining Example. Whatcom County’s Sexiest Illustrator Alive. THE SECOND COMING.
I’ll stop now.
LOL, oh, don’t stop, Dawn! I’m sure he’ll hear you all the way to New Jersey!
Mad love, Laurel
Mike, you are the best! And what a lovely salamander. He’s so darling I think he’ll be visiting me in my dreams too.
I know, isn’t he? I love the salamander! Thanks for helping, Yvonne!
I just commented on his page too and liked your FB post. It’s simply wonderful!
Thank you, again, Yvonne! What an awesome day!
Oh, you!
I love the salamander! Party in Whatcom County! You’re the best, Mike. I hope you can see all the smiles beaming your way from over here.
