Chicken of the Sea...

Polar bears were the first thing to come to mind. Then I realized that if they ever did catch a mermaid, they probably wouldn't know what to compare it to. " Hey, this doesn't taste like seal..." Without even thinking about it, I drew the mermaid with a belly button, which is odd, since I don't think that mermaids would have belly buttons, being fishy and all. Then again, maybe they are mammalian and have live births, like gnarwhals. This is all a little nuts. Maybe I should stop painting in unventilated areas.
