Hobonichi Weeks Pencil Board: Keiko Shibata - Wind Gust During a Stay Command

A pencil board slides under the page you are writing on. It gives thin paper something firm to sit against, so the pen stops skating, and it stops the pressure of your writing embossing itself into the sheet underneath. The picture is from Keiko Shibata's series on the theme of wind, and this one is the funny entry: a beagle holding a Stay while a gust turns its ears and whiskers inside out. It is not moving. The reverse is orange.
