    Spinda but Domino's
    On twitter/x, I discovered art of a Spinda wearing an outfit resembling the Little Caesar's mascot. I liked it a lot, but wanted to see a spin on the design as representing Domino's (I like Domino's a little more). So, I drew it! Link to the actual post here - https://www.twine.net/signin
