Introducing...Mouse and Cursor

Would you like to earn 2 Publishing Points? Read below to learn how.

Scooby Doo and Shaggy, Tom and Jerry, Holmes and Watson, Roadrunner and Wile E Coyote; we all know these popular duos. Now, we introduce you to our friendly icons Mouse and Cursor. Mouse (left) is jolly, cheerful, kind-hearted and good-humored while Cursor (right) is demanding, picky, and peculiarly unconventional. They travel around the world in a motorcycle and sidecar conquering adventures you create along the way. Use these characters in a creative post and earn 2 publishing points! We are interested in adding some accessories to them both so comment below with your ideas; top on the list are a monocle and mustache for cursor. 

Do not forget to email any blog posts to wcpldteen@gmail.com.
