Classic boy cartoon recreated in Inkscape

Following instruction from the book 25 Quick Cartoon Characters by Christopher Hart. This is my first attempt at one of his cartoons, although I am using, and learning, Inkscape, a free vector art design tool, rather than pen and pencil. I can see a few things which have gone wrong with this cartoon, but will move on anyhow. The book, below, is only 33 pages long, but pretty damn good and not too expensive.
