Craig of the Creek has almost been on the air for 1 year, so I thought I'd share some development art. This is one of earliest sketches of Craig, Kelsey and JP all together. I drew this all the way back in 2014.

One thing I can say for sure is in the Craig of the Creek universe, Steven Universe is a cartoon show with merchandise that doesn’t exist in our reality. It’s possible that Lil Butler is also a TV show in Craig’s universe. I believe OK KO! has a more complex intermingling however
@Jimmythehat1
That's a confusing rabbit-hole that I'd need the help of
@rebeccasugar
@ben_levin
and
