Gus the Fox & the illustrated tweet
My husband and I are massive fans of incorrigible scallywag Gus the Fox’s Twitter feed (and why wouldn’t you be?). His birthday was coming up (my husband’s that is, am sure Gus doesn’t do anniversaries) so I set about illustrating one of his favourite Gus tweets as a gift:
