Baby Velociraptor Alternatives

If you're new here and you're wondering what the deal is with "baby velociraptors", here's a post explaining the origins:

Basically, @Eilis made a silly poll back in the ancient times of May 2016.
It offered the prompt, "If your chocolate fountain couldn't fountain chocolate, you'd rather it gush..."
One of the options was "Baby velociraptors who stay babies".

I personally thought that was such a funny concept. (It's the fact that they stay babies is what gets me!)
Baby velociraptors became a running gag. Hopefully propped up by me as I immediately started creating baby velociraptor gifs.
But there were OTHER choices in that silly poll!!!
And I wondered, in an alternate universe (where Hillary Clinton is no doubt the president elect), what would it have looked like if some of those OTHER options in the poll had become the unofficial mascot of LGC...
I enlisted my sister (who illustrates children's books) to create art depicting:
- Business-casual tarantula
- Love birds who recite cheesy poetry
- Hula-hooping chipmunk
I took the resulting art and made the animation above.
Here's some of the progress art, for reference:
Thank you for creating this community, Eilis — and thank you to everyone here for being a member of this community and contributing to the warm, welcoming, compassionate atmosphere.
Hope you've got a wonderful weekend ahead, everyone, and please -- as always -- make safe choices!
Your pal,
