what's in the box?

Two years ago I did a Santa Shop illustration for my kid's school newsletter. Pictured first is the original rendering.

The idea is the cute animal students are in line buying the presents. The rabbit bought a teddy bear and is hugging it and winking at the cute boy bear behind her. The boy bear is distracted by her and doesn't notice his Jack-in-the-box popped open scaring the kids behind him.

I show my wife the finished drawing and she says - Uh... Is that his penis? A la Mickey Rourke's popcorn box in the movie Diner.


Here's a detail of the alleged inpropriety. Two years later my wife still sees it.



I did change it. I think it looks better anyway.
