In Gopher Up Your Sleeve (by Tony Johnston), here's another in the quirky animal illos. Piranhas are really just thug-like creatures, so this one was pretty much a no-brainer. As when you have two characters who look as if they are evenly matched in their carnivorous, bad-ass ways, I wanted to create two expressions of mundane, we-do-this-every-day, Mexican standoff type looks. I especially liked the bites taken out of each other's fins.
