Tell it I say hi and thank it for its service (eating ticks)

I don't even remember if they were punks, it just had a punk-ish sensibility to the art, to my eyes. I bookmarked a print ages ago and then got rid of the bookmark, but I remember liking the style.

Damn, those are good guesses, but not it

I think sometimes they're anthopormophic. All I remember is that it's a very jagged, scratchy linework with some... flat colors, I think? Punk vibes-ish?
