My Little Friends

I have a small garden in my backyard. During the summer I will spend hours tending to it. It’s a lot of work! And when the time comes for all of my tomatoes and peas and strawberries and stuff to be ready, most of it will have already been eaten by little slimy slugs.

However, it doesn’t really bother me all that much. I can’t think of many creatures more harmless and gentle than slugs. And I can just go to the store to get my tomatoes. Hopefully my carefully tended fruits and vegetables are an improvement over their usual diet of dog poo and rotten leaves. And I wouldn’t want my friends to eat just poo and leaves!

Happy Marine Mammal With Toy Ball

One of the eternal truths: animals that like to play with toys are cute.

Jellyfish Ambassador

I love things that are on fire. Especially fires that can’t be put out by rain. And I love spineless, squishy, translucent creatures. These ones are on a peaceful mission from the center of the Atlantic Ocean to bring the secret of fire to Humanity. This was a while ago.

Know Your Audience

It’s important to know your audience! And also to know that it’s there, watching you. Don’t rely on a floating flaming squidman to let you know every time! That’s irresponsible!

Three Rather Homely Nuns at Swillywobble Parish

Well you certainly ask some strange questions, constable! Sister Josephine is certainly not a thief in hiding. Surely Sister Kate knows nothing of fencing. She merely has a lazy eye. Why would you ask Sister Lucinda about mysterious disappearances of diamonds from safe deposit boxes? How odd!

Now won’t you have a nice cup of tea? Go on, just a drop!

Small Town Library

The card catalog is in the back room. They keep it around, even though nobody uses it for finding books these days. Some people like the way it smells. They keep a bunch of pencils in the Q drawer.

Presenting… Kittens the Circus Cat!

Hello there Kittens! Are you going to do a trick for us? Yes? Kittens?

Sally Meets a Bear in the Veldt

Everybody in the area is after the fruit from these trees. Luckily, there’s plenty for everyone.

Duckling

He’s satisfied with himself, isn’t he! And you know, I don’t think he’s really a duck. I think he’s some other kind of bird.

Also, the Sun went down an hour ago.

Clerk on her break, thinking.

Nothing good, I suspect. That big eye is looking pretty far.
