In case you are unaware "hero" is another name for a submarine sandwich -- particularly in some parts of the USA. I thought this would be more fun to try to draw than the more obvious "hero with a cape" interpretation of the word since I've done a lot of character drawings lately...

The one on the left is a toad, but the idea essentially was a couple of "literal lounge lizards" lounging about at the local watering hole (basking on the rocks). 🤷️

I kind of went a bit overboard with inventing the particular characters and the one on the left ended up morphing into a toad character inspired in part by Winston Churchill while I was digging around for reference images. I gave him an Old Fashioned. The one in the middle was supposed to be a Komodo dragon wearing John Lennon-esque teashades with a tequila sunrise. The one on the right was originally supposed to be an iguana crossed with James Bond (thus the martini) but I ended up ditching the original costuming idea and just gave him a red scarf based on an intermediate drawing that I thought looked better than what I had originally had in mind...

I guess the ingredients got a bit muddled, but I think its one of my stronger drawings visually.
