This week's Redbubble design was super fun to put together. I wanted to make it look like a fancy book cover. I'd definitely read a very thick novel about the Ediacaran.

 Had a lot of fun with that magazine cover.

Can any apparel choices 8-year-old boys make be appropriately labeled "fashion", though?

They all burst into the room, weapons at the ready—and no one responded. Instead, Terra found herself looking at a suite that seemed like it hadn’t been cleaned in ages. Dirty laundry littered the floor and the furniture, crumpled pieces of trash were strewn everywhere, and the paintings on the walls hung askew. But someone obviously lived here, because the trash included stacks of empty pizza boxes and Neocola cans.

There was also a blue Kougra tied to a chair, his muzzle gagged. The Masked Intruder’s golden eyes widened when he saw the group, and his long tail lashed frantically.

“Is this a trap?” Isengrim asked him. When the Kougra shook his head, Isengrim moved to the chair and cut him loose.

“Oh—thank goodness someone came!” the Masked Intruder said, stretching out and rolling his shoulders. “They were going to use me as ransom against the other Defenders!”

 

 Okay, this is another one of my favorite comics. A classic case of a conversation starting off benign... and then somehow turning apocalyptic. As some conversations do.

This has been my latest big amigurumi design project: a cuttlefish! He turned out rather large (about 33cm with tentacles extended), but that just makes him all the more huggable. I'm pretty proud of how he turned out! I used variegated yarn to emulate how cuttlefish can change their colors and patterns. I also had some really pretty and unique hand-dyed variegated cotton yarn that I was itching to make into something fun.

 

 This is one of my favorite of these comics because it just kinda encapsulates what this entire series is about: Pokémon NPCs being totally out of touch with reality.

Between this and knee frostbite, I guess this comic is also about warning the public of the dangers of wearing shorts.

 It stinks when you have to awkwardly crash someone's date because you want a Gym Battle.

... Also yes, I very intentionally made Misty's date look like Ash. :) Brings me back to the good old days of schoolyard shipping wars!
