This is my cartoony guy created to drive my cartoony car.

Next, I put him in some cartoony poses to make sure the armature is functioning correctly. (And it isn't.)

Now, I check and see if he and the car are at the appropriate dimensions. (And at first, they weren't.)

Then I stick him inside the car to see if he looks half way decent. (And he does.)

This looks fine for now. Time to begin work on the second character.
