Scott Wood has far too much fun drawing and coloring his witty and whimsical

cartoons, so when someone suggested letting other people join in and share the

fun, he jumped at the idea. The result is a selection of his personal favorite cartoons

from his latest book, The Animal Kingdom, which he’s left in black and white outline

for the reader to color as they see fit.

Would-be colorists can match his own colors as seen in the full-color version of

the book, or choose their own color schemes, using the medium of their choice:

markers, watercolors, colored pencils, crayons or whatever they like to work with.

Hope you have as much fun as Scott does!

Scott Wood first became known for his comic strip, “Quibbley”, which appeared

of companies including luxury car manufacturer Porsche and the Porsche Carrera

Magazine. More recently, Scott Wood has published two books of cartoons entitled

“The Cell Phone, It’s Use (and Misuse!) Through the Ages” and “The Animal Kingdom.”
