A little illustration for a short story I wrote about Doug. Even in the hardest times, there can be a glimmer of hope for happiness.

Doug reclined on the couch, gloomily watching YouTube videos on TV. He was bored and lonely. Tom was out of town, and Stan was busy with his life back in the other universe. As Doug was about to resign himself to eternal gloom, he heard a knock at the door. Pausing the video, he got up and slid off the couch, then went to the front door and, using a stepping stool to better reach the knob, opened it. Joey greeted him at the door.
“Hey, Doug! I was just gathering some of the neighborhood dogs for another paper bag reenactment. I convinced Peanut to do Patema Inverted!”
Doug had convinced a few of the dogs to see the movie a couple weeks ago, and everyone had seemed to enjoy it. They had even gone back and watched it again with the TV turned upside down.
“Wow, that sounds like fun!” Doug said, perplexed at how they were going to pull off having half the cast upside down.
“Come on, then! Let’s go!” Joey said, turning and running towards another house.
Doug closed the door behind him and ran after Joey, glancing upward. Thank you, he thought, smiling.
