cartoon: snail & hermit crab

I was in Cape Cod, Massachussetts, last week. Wading in the bay, I noticed many a critter at my feet. It fascinated me how busy an ecosystem it was down there. Snails clung to rocks. Hermit crabs bumped into each other. Crabs did the sideways thing. All the while, the horseshoe crabs were the most graceful, not in any rush to be anywhere. The lowtide revealed this seashell extravaganza.

My cartoon drawing is inspired by those little guys.
