March 28 - Hippo

"A hippo sandwich is easy to make,
all you do is simply take,
One slice of bread, one slice of cake,
Some mayonaise, one onion ring,
One hippopotamus, one piece of string,
A dash of pepper, that outta do it.
And now comes the problem ... biting into it!"
  ~ Shel Silverstein

Dee White shared this hippo design in issue #51 of Balloon Magic Magazine. It's very simple in form, the only "complexity" would be the deep tulip twists for the ears, and with Lima showing us all the new sexy way to that, this is very quick.

"You sure are a cool Opotomus!"
