My Milk Toof: Our Second Year

It's exciting to be celebrating Year Two of producing this blog- so much has happened! After exactly two years of starting My Milk Toof in March 2009, the official published book is now released- Hooray! In addition, one of the huge highlights for me was the "Your Milk Toof" contest. Getting a chance to see everyone's talent and creativity was fantastic, and I hate to see it end. My plan is to leave the tumblr online as a community fan page which you all can continue to contribute to, whether it be your own Toof characters or just fan art. Please keep it coming- it's so wonderful for me to click on that site and be inspired.

I've said it before, and I can't say it enough- THANK YOU EVERYONE for your endless support and love for ickle and Lardee! Your sweet emails and comments mean the world to me.

Wishing you all the best,
Inhae

The Story

When I was young, I placed my baby teeth under my pillow and when I woke up I'd find a shiny new quarter. But whatever happened to those little teeth? Where did they go? Would I ever see them again?

Many years later, a little tooth was standing at my door. First came ickle, a smart and inquisitive little toof with a suitcase full of books. Then came Lardee, a hungry fellow with a penchant for getting into trouble. Together these two milk teef keep me company in my cozy little apartment. Welcome home, my milk toof!
