#4 Earl, the Cactus

Description

This character is a real character. He is actually alive. He’s my cactus that I’ve had for over 6 years.

I’ve moved 14 times in my life. This cactus is a real world representation of my need to have at least one thing around that doesn’t change. I gave my cactus a name when someone once asked me why I have a cactus in my room. I said, “Oh that’s Earl.” and that was that.

The word balloons are actual things Earl has said over the years. I’m just glad he can’t tell my mother everything I’ve actually done in my room……heh.
