Some things give you that extra boost, like jet packs or rockets or what-have you.
Sloth and (Moon)atee
Sloth and Manatee and their microscopic friends (See Sloth's backpack with bonsai tree) are cruising around on the Moon. They have been following this row of rocks, but now the rocks are going in a direction that is, shall we say, unexpected... and, who the heck is that?
Speaking of Jetpacks
When Magic Space Frog comes to Earth, Magic Space Frog loves a good jetpack ride.
And Now for Something Completely Different
Inktober is still Inktober-ing!
A lovely thing happened this week, after I drew the 'Angel' image for Day 16, a kind fellow in Washington liked it so much, because it looked like him, that he bought it, and then commissioned me to do a similar version of his partner, as a stoat, in a fabulous 70's era dress.
Here's how they came out - aren't they cute?
Excitement! The Best of Brainwaves Volume One Books are Here!
And it's a hefty book! Turns out 420 cartoons weight over a pound. Get signed copies here, and from the Amazon and Bookshop machines. If you order from me you get a Sloth and Manatee sticker. Stickers!! Every order is packed with love and an excessive amount of tape.
Further Excitement!
The Bicycle Sentences book has gone off for printing. It's going to be hard-bound! This has been such a project. I can't wait. Here's how the front cover came out:
Here's one more thing about this week's extra-boost theme: I learned there's this organization called Stand In Pride who volunteer to offer folks love and support when they aren't getting that from their birth families - like walking them down the aisle at their wedding, for example. I mean, what a thing to do, to step in there like that! Like Mr. Rogers says, look for the helpers.
That's enough nonsense for now.
May you be able to support someone who needs it, may you get an extra boost when YOU need it, won't you be my neighbor?
