Rewatching Bee and Puppycat made me realize something. This show is all about failure, specifically in the workplace.
Bee begins the show fired from her job, in a studio apartment, unsure what she wants to do in her life, taking temp jobs
Puppycat is scolded as a child that if he doesn’t learn to do *something* he’ll end up as a candy collector. Which he does, and fails to do that too when his relationship wrecks his life.
Violet was pulled down along with him. She can’t even live, she’s in a coma!
Deckard is flunking out of cooking school because he can’t bake (yet).
Cas was at the bottom of her boxing league, then forces herself to do software coding, which she doesn’t enjoy.
Toast has now been degraded to the bottom of the league, due to Cas leaving.
Crispin ran away to the circus, and it looks like he’s trying to make art now?
Howell can’t cook like Deckard, so he struggles to keep the cat café in business.
When Tim was flipping through his notebook, it’s revealed that Merlin did not graduate from medical school after all!
I think this show is trying to explain that failure is ok. Taking time for yourself is ok. Pursuing your passions doesn’t guarantee success. Sometimes we have to work jobs we’re good at, but don’t really like to pay the bills. Like Cas’s clock constantly reminds her, WORK OR STARVE! But we never despair for these characters. They find joy with each other. I also like that the show allows time between the chaos to showcase beautiful scenery, characters relaxing, eating yummy food. I’m excited to see more of the series, and where these characters failures take them next!

This is a reworked illustration of Howell that I'd made for a Bee and Puppycat fanzine
The fanzine is going to be a cookbook of sorts, and my role was to illustrate two blank recipe cards. Howell is the prettiest guy in the show, so I took the opportunity to draw him since there wasn't a lot more stuff with him in it.

Was digging through my old files and found this old drawing I did awhile back of Bee and Puppycat and the Wizard family
