Inktober 2019 Day 4 – Freeze

For Kickaha Ota. Based on an illustration from a story about how bear got their stumpy tail. Fox, of course, is to blame, claiming they ice fish with THEIR tail. It doesn’t end well for that luscious bear tail…

Here’s the original illustration by Adam Stower that it’s based on, from the Norse fable “Why Bear Has a Stumpy Tail” as retold by Robert Scott. Found in “The Oxford Book of Animal Stories”:
