Fridge Synapsid

November-something '22. I was talking with my Mother about synapsids for some reason and trying to explain to her that they're the most basic "animal" looking animal ever. But I didn't think my description was doing them credit, so I doodled one from memory! I was going for lisowicia bojani so... not too bad : ) Like the next day, the garbage disposal "broke". Mom wrote a note on the board to not use it. Later, Bud happened upon it and the doodle and thought I wrote something cutesy on the board with an animal (I used to every month). He then joked to me about how he thought it was supposed an "inspirational message" from the quote unquote capybara until he got closer and saw that they were separate things. I thought it was funny so I went out there and drew a speech bubble around the warning, making it look like the Fridge Synapsid was saying it. Shortly thereafter, the disposal was fixed and it felt only appropriate to update synapsid with the relevant information! He has since had several different tooltips added by different people
