D.J. Grothe posted this view from a window over on Facebook. It felt like a good way to use the last page in this sketch book I started in 2013.

I'm pretty sure Greta isn't a luddite. She isn't trying to get a fair wage or guaranteed employment as machines take her job. Did he misspell Andrew Yang?

4/4 This transformer isn't technically accurate but it gets the idea across.

3/⁴ How had they not done a street sweeper transformer?

So now I had a mission. Create the missing transformer. I looked for 1980s street sweeper and found this 1985 FMC Vanguard 3000. A gloriously not box shaped three wheeled machine.

2/4 So I went to go look up what the Transformers street sweeper looked like and get some good references to work from. Except one problem. They never made a street sweeper? How? It's a piece of road equipment that has excellent espionage abilities. Kids love heavy street equipment.

1/4 The next word for inktober is "sweep."
I ranked my brain for something interesting and rejected thing after thing. Then I thought of street sweepers. I could do a hyper accurate drawing of one. Then it occurred to me that I could do a Transformers street sweeper.

This was based on a self portrait I took after buying a shotgun and having no way to get it home other than strapped to my back as I traveled through Charlotte on my motorcycle.

Cost per person, maybe $1.20 since the chickens already paid for themselves and the ginger was home grown. I ended up with enough stock to make something else.

HeathcliffNull @heathcliffnull.bsky.social · 4d

Chicken pastina and sourdough. No celery or thyme so I had to improvise with fennel seeds, celery seed, lime juice and fresh ginger. Forgot to add the red pepper flakes.

The chicken was leftover backs from two chickens.

You need to clear a short path from each set of stairs on a level anyway for when you come back up after getting the amulet. Just take a short detour in the mines. You can rapid descend with a pick axe.

Stone to flesh will fix that. Please tell me the Medusa problem has been resolved.
