Sheriff Cotton Ball

Allow me to introduce Sheriff Cotton Ball.

One day (many, many years ago) in middle school, I noticed a little swirly ball among my scribbles on my class notes. I don't know why, but I decided to a face, arms, and legs. And, then for no particular reason, I gave him a little star badge. My best friend was sitting next to me and noticed it. She asked me what it was, and I said "The name's Ball—Cotton Ball. He's the Sheriff of the Bathroom Cabinet." We were 13, so it made us giggle. After that, I would doodle this little guy in the margins of my notes, homework and tests. The other day, I thought about him for the first time in over a decade and decided to make an illustrated version. Then I had him printed into stickers.
