Meerkat in a Giant Clock - Cartoon Adventure

Cartoon-style illustration of a cute meerkat with big eyes and a cheeky grin, wearing a tiny explorer vest, perched inside the face of a giant ornate clock. The clock has a big round dial with Roman numerals, gleaming brass gears visible behind glass, and winding keys. The meerkat stands on the hour hand, one paw raised as if guiding time. Bright, saturated colors with thick black outlines in a classic 2D cartoon look. Whimsical, adventurous mood. Soft gradient sky of pastel blue to pink in the background, with light and shadows casting playful reflections on the brass surfaces of the clock.
