Those are characters from the comic and children's book series Akiko on the Planet Smoo by good friend Mark Crilley. Incidentally, the Akiko comic celebrates its 50th issue in a couple of months. I did a little drawing to help commemorate that landmark. That drawing and (I think) art by others will appear in that issue.
