From My Treatise on Bathtub Crayons

Fig. 1: A bad photo of my shower wall after tonight's adventures in bathtub crayons. Results of experiment suggest that they are fully awesome, and most people would benefit from regular use (of both shower and crayons).

Fig. 2: Cleanliness of artist relative to number of bathtub crayons. Current study implies a correlation between these two factors, and the author thinks with further work, this could be found to be a causative relationship.

I'd like to thank the following institutions for supporting this research: the International Committee on Crayon Use, the Foundation for a Better Tomorrow, and the No More Smelly Artists Society. Further thanks to all those who came before me and to my housemate, the great pretzeled narwhal, for putting up with me during the course of this research.

Send-off Of Creature Week

I figure creature-izing one of the Great Old Ones is probably a good way to end the first ever Octopod Creature Week.

He always seems like he would be in need of a friend. You know, someone who you could go see bad action movies with, get burritos with, etc. Cult members and sycophants really aren't cut out for that sort of thing.

And on that note, see you all later!

I Blame the Winter Beetle

This small, cute, mythical insect is the reason winter keeps coming back. Meet the Winter Beetle.

See those ice teeth? That menacing glare of cold? The blue sneakers?

Classic signs of a winter beetle.

Creature week is almost half over, I've been enjoying it quite a lot. :)

Hopefully it's less cold tomorrow.

Ween Beasts

Drawings of the dachshunds I'm sitting this weekend. They're pretty much teh awesome. I have dubbed the monsters Ruthbub* and Sybilzilla. We have lots of fun. And noms. Lots of noms.

*ETA: I made a mistake here. For some reason, in the haze of cold and sleep-depression and wiener snuggles, I wrote "Ruth" in my journal. It should be "Rublebub" there. /fail

Day 2 of Creature Week

To prove to you I've been doodling, here are my doodles of the day (I'm roughing it this weekend, sans tablet) and my final most favorite: the bunvampire.

I've been trying to doodle more frequently, but we'll see.

Tomorows!

(And if you recognize the dachshunds I've been basing some of those doodles off, you are probably friends with Kupcake and have met THE WEEN MONSTERS, who I am dog-sitting this weekend.)

Spring-Y

This is my favorite time of year, so I can't help but constantly doodle about it. And as today's comic shows, sometimes even when I'm not doodling about spring, my doodle still reminds me of spring.

Once again, my apologies for the abrupt drop-off of comics, but schoolwork comes first (sigh).

See you all tomorrow!
