I’d kinda hoped your illustration would feature a dotted line tracing the vacuum’s travels and encounters, like Billy from Family Circus.

The family vacuum, Dr Professor, must be supervised at all times. They have a tendency to get stuck and eat things they’re not supposed to. But they’ve also made a run for the open door more than once. I love my vacuum very much, but they’re just not that bright.
