Duane -- this is very good. The only problem is that some kids, looking at
this picture with no context, will think this guy is carrying a rake.
That's OK, I know how to fix that -- with a second picture!
Can you now draw one where the Martian is standing upright, sun shining,
and a normal umbrella on his shoulder? This way we'll have a "before" and
"after" image. ("Before" the storm starts and "after" it's underway.)
