Eric the postman

Eric had one dream, to be the best mailman that ever graced the small township of Wattleford in outback Australia. There was just one problem, to become a mailman he needed mail and the only place he knew that had mail were mailboxes. He didn’t think the residents would mind having their mail stolen only to have it delivered again the next day because he knew he would deliver it better than anyone.

Artist notes: Echidna's are one of my favourite Australian animals; they're so unique. Among the many things I learned when I researched these animals was that they can't climb, so, how Eric got up to this mailbox is actually a unsolved mystery.
