Potatosauruses. Potatosauri?

"Wherever we go, we are friends" -Sloth and Manatee

There are so many kinds of questions. The ones where there's a right answer, the ones where there is no answer, the ones where there are a million answers, the ones to get your password...

A cartoon in which a computer says to a peson, "To retrieve password: Please answer your secret question, which is: 'What is your password?' Ha ha HAAA!"
Brainwaves cartoon collection out now yes yes!

Sloth and (Moon)atee

Sloth and Manatee and their tiny friends in Sloth's backpack met a penguin on the Moon. A penguin with a jet pack. Why does the penguin have a jet pack? Why does anybody have a jet pack? Penguin will now demonstrate:

Hopefully they get to talk before the penguin zooms off somewhere

Rhetorical and Other Questions

Did I mention there's a Brainwaves book?

And Now for Something Completely Different

The almost-last of Inktober for this year!

This was for prompt 26, "Remove":

Ink drawing of a figure with no head holding their skull in their arm, while a raven perches on the collar of their coat
Don't try this at home.

And then a thing happened at day 27, in which the prompt was "Beast," and the Potatosaurus made an appearance:

Ink drawing of a creature shaped like a potato with four legs
Hullo.

Well, that led to the rest of the days being about Potatosauruses (Potatosauri?) because why not.

The next prompt was "Sparkle," so Potatosaurus got a splendid shiny outfit and disco ball:

Ink drawing of a potatosaurus wearing glittery clothing and standing beneath a disco ball
Splendid.

I'll share the rest of the potato-folk next week.


Best of Brainwaves is Out There...

Please help this lil book reach new people! Buy it as a gift! Everybody enjoys a smile. If you are someone who posts about books, or comics, or can publicize it to your network or to your following, I can arrange to send you a free copy. Or do you have a favorite book or comic shop that would dig it? Just drop me a line (mail at betsystreeter dot com) about what you have in mind! Meanwhile, here's a live look at how substantial this thing is:

Very substantial. Of course cartoon bunnies don't weigh that much, but still...

End Papers Are Cool

Since we're doing a hardcover printing of the Bicycle Sentences book, we get to do endpapers - the cool linings on the insides of the book covers. Here is what the endpapers will look like:

Pretty cool huh?

One more thing about question (marks)

You know when someone writes an emphatic question and they add an exclamation point? Like, "What the heck is that?!" That combination is called an interrobang. You're welcome.


That's enough nonsense for now.

May you answer some question that's been bugging you, may you not drop a heavy book on your foot, won't you be my neighbor?
