Chicken Butt & Chicken Bone

According to Elin who painted this, the character on the right is Chicken Butt and the one on the left is Chicken Bone.  Chicken Butt can fly, but Chicken Bone can only jump high.  They both live in an igloo and keep each other warm in the cold arctic weather.  I asked Elin how Chicken Butt can fly without wings.  She said the wings are under it.  He doesn't have legs.  He just flies, and when he's not flying, he jumps like a cricket.  And those are antennas on top of his head.  He uses them to balance himself when he bounces.  The circle above his head is just a cloud Elin didn't want me to write about, but I did anyway.  She insisted that I remove the reference to the cloud, and later changed it to a ball.  He juggles the ball with his antennas.

Let's talk about Chicken Bone now.  He is 4 years old and eats fish.  He finds a little hole in the ice, dips his head in and catches fish with his mouth.  His long neck helps him stick his head deep under water for feeding.
