Inktober 7: Passport

Inktober 7: Passport

Aaaaand we’re back!

I didn’t exactly help myself out by having a six-panel comic planned for the next prompt, but since I wasn’t really up to doing even a simple comic while sick–might as well do what I wanted!

I’ve never actually been given a hard time at passport control coming back into the U.S., but I always have a feeling that the officers are letting me in only because they can’t find a reason not to. And then I imagine what an unhinged citizenship pop quiz would be like….

Anyone have a crazy travel story about crossing international borders?

You Can Do It!

As it turns out, I’ve been napping a lot more than drawing over the last few days. This cold has been nasty. I am way behind on Inktober at this point, but I’m just going to pick up where I left off and keep going until I finish. It’s been nice to have everyone else’s Inktober entries to scroll through on Instagram to keep me entertained, and I’ve enjoyed cheering from sidelines. We can do it!

Inktober 4: Exotic

Inktober 4: Exotic

My knowledge of physics is about as complicated as a model atom made out of wire and painted balls of styrofoam. But when my husband suggested “exotic matter” for this prompt, I became curious. A bit of reading led me to the term “gluon,” and the discovery that physicists can become rather whimsical when they name things.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing!

Inktober 3: Boots

Inktober 3: Boots

What else lives in your boots, besides your feet? If you’re not careful, before long, it may start painting cave art down inside the toes. And if your boots reach the point of hosting an industrial revolution, you may as well just give up and get a new pair….

Inktober 1: Backpack

Inktober 1: Backpack

It’s that time of year again!

Look out–it’s a dinosaur riding a giraffe, being chased by a lion! I immediately thought of my husband playing with our niece and nephew when I saw this prompt. In spite of making an excellent galloping giraffe (which occasionally transmuted into a draft horse, and back again), I think Uncle Shaun would like to have traded in his knees by the end. 😁
