I did a little update of my original sketch
@Catbert, I love the economy of your lines.
Here is another take: MoonRiver a homage to Henry Mancini's song from Breakfast at Tiffany's

Lovely!
I also thought of Moon River but it hardly seemed fair to depict Audrey as a pig or a wolf (such are the constraints of trying to keep an arbitrary theme going) …

Thank you!
Well, I'm sure you can draw a "pretty" wolf or pig. It would be a nice challenge. Plus wolves are quite handsome
In one of my draft ideas, I was planning to have the "Audrey" character sitting on the moon with a wolf howling to the moon.

My apologies for this atrocious "sketch". I should not watch TV and draw on the same time.
But you get the idea

M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!

Still catching up on some of these prompts. This sketch covers prompts Balloon and Sidekick. Piglet - friend of Winnie the Pooh.

Certainly the circumstantial evidence doesn’t look good for Wolfie. I hope an innocent explanation will be possible. Let’s see what the next prompts permit …
I think you captured it. I love the dreamlike quality — like Chagall.
It was meant to be a straw boater, to match some vaguely Victorian striped blazers. I always find hats challenging (in paper and reality).
Brilliant solution!
These things sometimes have a life of their own. Wolfie was meant to be more oblivious than threatening, though the pigs were naturally wary. Then the hats in the water (which started as a lazy way to keep the reference to three pigs without actually drawing them) implied something more sinister. We’ll have to see where the narrative stream carries them next …

I was reading the lyrics of the song, it's seems like you subconsciously have drawn the song:
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
......
My piggy little friend
Moon river and me
I attempted sketching an anthropomorphic wolf, with the "moon river" theme with the chorus singing/ howling to the moon
It's harder than I thought
However, it seems that despite my efforts, the Wolf is more George Peppard than Audrey Hepburn. What do you think?
Inks used Octopus Grey Merkat, Noodler's Polar Brown, J Herbin Bouton d'or and a hint of De Atramentis Document Red
The paper is Fabriano not suited for ink washes
Here is another take, on Canson Water paper, with two inks only...
I don't know if I managed to do a Miss Wolf this time.
Anyway, I wanted to share the creative process....
Brilliant! You made a better Ms Wolf than I could have. Those eyes …
One for the gallery thread perhaps: the scene at the end with George/Wolf in the alley watching Audrey and Cat — and Mouse in the background holding an umbrella (it’s raining, after all).
