Ariel Can't Drive 55

"Ariel Can't Drive 55" (ariel55.gif, 640x508x2, 8407 bytes) is the fifty-seventh in a continuing series of fine Disney fanart drawings by Bob Ito <ito@[...]>. You may wish to save this description in a separate file for future reference.

With apologies to Sammy Haggar:

"Don't wanna go slow, with legs I'm alive...
Faster still--wanna go out and drive...
Eric's scared, but I just can't live a lie--
I can't drive 55!"

One of the unforgettable scenes from "The Little Mermaid" was Eric turning over the reigns of his carriage over to Ariel, who cracks the whip and drives them nearly off a cliff with a steely glint in her eyes. Suppose, though, that the movie was set in modern times. Eric, being a prince, would have a sports car for driving around the kingdom with Ariel. So what would happen when he hands over the keys to her? This drawing is the result.
