BLORNSWORTH: Whoooffff. I just ate an entire jumbo bag of chips and I do NOT feel good about it
CRANDIBLE: Let me know if THIS makes you feel any better...

CRANDIBLE: Imagine all the loose chips from that jumbo bag.
CRANDIBLE: Now imagine them all mashed up into a SOLID LUMP of salt and carbs.

CRANDIBLE: How BIG would that lump be? ALL the chips in one giant mass?
CRANDIBLE: That's INSIDE you now. That's in your GUTS. That's what YOU put in there.

BLORNSWORTH (despairingly): That does NOT, in fact, make me feel better.
CRANDIBLE: I didn't think it would!

I made this: found-junk sculpture #1

This li’l dude was made from a few scraps of coathanger wire, foam, and paper that used to be a dry cleaner’s hanger. It’s snappily accessorized with some fabric from a DEMON VAMPIRE COSTUME. (This comic will provide some more context.)

I’ve made a few of these little found-junk sculptures now, and I always leave them where I make them. There might be some commentary there about the instantaneous and transitive nature of inspiration or some crap, but I think it’s just fun to leave little pieces of the world a tiny bit more whimscial than I found them.

Drawing: turtle turtle

jes' chillin

This dude was probably inspired by one of a pair of characters I created with my friend Stephen a dozen years ago.  They were Rabbi & Socrates; Rabbi was a giant tortoise with the head of — yes — a rabbi, similar but rather more hirstute than the gentlereptile above, while Socrates was a dwarfish version of the ancient Greek philosopher who rode around on Rabbi’s shell.  Socrates only spoke in questions, and Rabbi only spoke to say “Ach!” (to which his yarmulke would reply, in a tiny voice, “Yeidel!”)
