SKETCHTEMBER

DAY 12

SESAME STREET

Bert’s loving eyes at Ernie.

This is not even a sketched anymore.

I was watching some moments with my twin sister from this two which is Ernie and Bert they are so cute.

I might draw them more if I get a chance.

START TO FINISH

With Ernie And Bert

Guys, do you remember Berta? The girl who kinda posed as Bert's "love interest"?

Well, as a sucker for details I am I just can't help comparing Bert&Berta's "Love song" with Bert&Ernie's "But I like you".

In "Love song" Bert sings about how much in common they have with Berta. Namely, pigeons, music, oatmeal, paper clips, and checkers.

It literally ends like this:

You play checkers.

I do, too.

You like me.

And I like you.

So, basically, the love confession is based on common interests.

What's funny is that Bert&Ernie's song goes completely opposite direction.

After Bert mentions liking paper clips, buttlecaps, and pigeons Ernie answers:

I don't really like any of those things,

But I like you.

And then Bert reacts in the same way to Ernie's interests.

Ain't it peculiar?

Having different interests with Ernie doesn't make them drift apart, so having common interests with Berta doesn't necessarily mean they are gonna be together, right?

Besides, it's worth mentioning that in "But I like you" song Bert and Ernie take their turns to sing "I like you" to each other, whereas in "Love song" it's Bert who sings "You like me and I like you". Berta doesn't say anything at all, only Bert sings!

Which makes me question if perhaps Bert's feelings for Berta were meant to be unrequited from the start??

After, like, two months of forgetting to draw these two, I have finally done it. yay.

I’m so happy with how this drawing looks :-)
