Two pieces of fan art

Two pieces of recent fanart from a pair of friends online, the first one of which comes from Serena on Bluesky...
A loose, aliased sketch of Clip holding a gun. The text reads "This summer... clip da movie". (Thanks to Serena for the fan art!)
...and the second comes to me from Suzie on Discord! Thank you so much to both of the artists featured!
A piece of fan art of Zoe/Ms. Do-Little! drawn using a crayon brush. Surrounding her from the right are a bunch of little speech bubbles that include an apple, a cherry, a Muncher, and the word "EXTRA" respectively. (Again, massive thanks to Suzie for the fan art!)
