Monster Papa Rides his Mini Simmons

Alas another rainy weekend sprouts more art work. In this rendition The Monster Papa is taking his new Mini Simmons down to the beach to engage in the preverbal foam glide'n'slide. A gentle reminder to all my cyber pals, The Monster Papa T-shirt is available through the Speedway Online store (http://item.rakuten.co.jp/speedway-shop/lt-002-charcoal/) for a mere 3,900 yen, buy one now so I can retire!!
