Blog Posts, Drawings, and Doodles - Things I Put In My Husband's Lunch

Day 96: Darunyah

2/28/2014

A traditional Daruma doll has eyebrows in the shape of a crane, and a moustache in the shape of a tortoise - both of which symbolize longevity.

Neko Daruma has eyebrows in the shape of mice, and whiskers in the shape of bird wings - both of which symbolize tasty noms. (I realize in hindsight I should have switched those around so I could have said mouse-stache.)

Completing your goal is easy when your goal involves spending most of the day napping.

Day 95: Agents of Shelled

2/27/2014

Experts claim he was frozen in time for decades, but in reality it just took him that long to crawl home from Europe.

If Captain America were a snail...

Avengers (very slowly) Assemble!

Day 94: You asked for it...

2/26/2014

I couldn't decide what to draw, so my husband suggested a banana dancing with a gold plate.
This was partly inspired by the belly dancing lessons I took a few years back where I learned to dance with a gold platter on my head, and it was also partly based on the "plate dance" my husband developed in a moment of at-home silliness (where he was making fun of me for the aforementioned learning to dance with a platter on my head).

The Plate Dance: hold plate overhead, slowly wave it side to side while making a silly face

Day 93: Clashing the game

2/25/2014

Inspired by a bad Mega Man translation.
Clash Bomber hurts your enemy by making them feel shame about their colour palette.

YOU GOT... CLASH BOMB! [Mega Man firing bubbles filled with

This weapon is useless against Heat Man, who is so hot he can make anything look good.

Day 92: Sappy

2/24/2014

And now for a heavy dose of sugar-coated Hallmark

A rose is fair / a cake is fine / but what I love best / is that you are mine! [rose < cake < you]

Unless it is really chocolatey cake, but otherwise I love you best.

Day 91: I still can't draw cats

2/23/2014

...but I can still make bad puns.

What do you call a cat that is eight years old? An octo-puss. *blub blub* [picture of a cat-octopus hybrid underwater with a birthday cake]

That joke was paws-itively awful

Day 90: We come in peace?

2/22/2014

D&D continued: I was playing a peace-loving warforged, on a quest to find its true name. Unfortunately, our party's Githyanki had an "attack first, maybe ask questions later if she is still bored" approach to diplomacy. It certainly kept things interesting. Also, explosive runes seems to be a Githyanki racial trait in our game.

Did I mention we were fighting baby tarrasques?

Day 89: NOT for eating

2/21/2014

Our D&D party acquired a giant riding sheep named Priscilla. She is battle-trained and good for lugging around our party loot, but we had to convince at least one of our colleagues that she is more useful to us alive than as dinner. (I'm looking at you, Githyanki)

Priscilla the riding, pack, battle sheep (who is NOT for eating)

This is what you get when character backstories involve wool farming...

Day 88: Peek-a-boo

2/20/2014

Glomp : a running, tackling hug

cat thinking

Someone's about to lovingly get a faceful of fur

Day 87: Lolo. L-O-L-O, Lolo. L-L-Lolo...

2/19/2014

Inspired by "The Adventures of Lolo," a classic puzzle game from 1989.

Leapers are green / Lolo is blue / You are so cuddly / Can I sleep on you? [Lolo running, Leaper hopping after him]

This is the story of our relationship.
