A real boy! by fiveplustwo

A real boy!

He wouldn't forget what he had been.
A wooden puppet, yet free from any strings.
A humble donkey, yet of unsuspicious strength and gentleness.
Hence, a real boy.

@domenicododaro (43 years ago). Thanks to @kali66 for the Pinocchio puppet.
this is delightful!

@mikegifford it was quite an insane work to bring the puppet and the donkey close to the vintage print! Thank you!
