My girlfriend is an artist and drew this representation of me on a card.

Underwhelming I know, but it always brings me a smile.

Back in the early 70's I read every Vonnegut novel that I could find. He was funny, irreverent, and insightful. Happy birthday Wanda June!

Teles are indeed difficult to draw I am told. Love,Vonnegut myself. Loved slaughterhouse 5 and everything I read after. Really loved his cameo in "back to school".

I read Breakfast of Champions in college when a very attractive girl gave it to me. I was hooked on Vonnegut from there. Never got much farther than the book with the girl, but that’s OK, it all worked out in the end.

Maybe shes trying to say your like the perfect wheel. Spokes represent your different qualities, characteristics, habits, qwerks etc. But you keep working on it day in and day out. When it all comes together it's perfect.
Never stops or quits like the energizer bunny.

I like the recognition of the spokes on the other side. That's important. She sees deeper.
The sweat indicates your focus.
Perhaps she's tried to get your attention while you built a wheel, or she recognizes the zen going into lacing.
I believe there is already a cartoonist out there drawing a similar rabbit, without eyes, I think.
The square glasses may be attributable to your taste in music, or boxers vs. briefs.
Not sure why a guitarist would have 5 (total) fingers, but I'm guessing rabbits don't.
The choice of rabbit, hmm, vulnerability? Vegan? um, other characteristics?
The t-shirt, well, we all understand that. Note the choice of no logo.
The "Biiiii …. iiiikkkkkkke" appears to indicate you are pretty much crazy.
That will be $3.50, no more meds needed.
You now understand yourself completely.
She is wonderful, and smart. You are a rabbit.

A wheel is a wheel to her, perhaps, and it's hard enough to draw radial, much less 3x.
