December 2000: Pen and Colored Pencils.

Caption: February: Ivy’s Gourmet Cooking

Explanation: Yeah right. Here, Ivy is attempting to use cooking a grilled cheese sandwich as an exercise to practice doing things using only her hands. She is not very successful. After the scene pictured here, she ends up kicking the sandwich. –THTIB #4

IVY TRIVIA: Ivy’s dexterity with her right hand is slightly worse than that of most right-handed people’s left hands. And let’s not even talk about her left hand. If you can imagine going through life with your best hand being less coordinated than your non-writing hand is now, then you can imagine why Ivy has been described as clumsy when she’s not using her energy.
