Poor Dodo birds, they are truly unlucky :-(
The illo is very nice and original.

Luckily, the egg wasn´t fertilized, he he. They could cook a "tortilla". Very nice.

In French, 'dodo' is the word used with small children to describe sleep. Unlike the sleeping animals in your previous post, is this case, zee dodo he is gone, gone, gone.

On behalf of all the staff at coucou, c'est moi, merci for your visit. We shall visit again!

Cheers!

I take it these were indeed the very last two Dodos! Great piece, as well as the collection of animal sketches.

Thanks so much for the comment on my blog!

In the meantime, what a SAD illustration ... reminds me of the Peter Arno cartoon where a couple of unicorns are watching Noah's Ark sailing off into the distance ...

Dodo Egg omelette's will only hasten their extinction ;)

They were quite big. About a meter tall.

Yes, like a drama!
