Was trying to do some inking when Hilde grabbed the pen

Photo of a black and white illustration on a sheet of paper, sitting on a wood desk.

The illustration is formatted like a four panel comic, two rows of two. Dipper the corgi is in the top left, looking down at Hilde the wizard cat in the bottom right. The top right panel features Poppy, and the bottom left features a pile of bones. Hilde has grabbed the actual real life pen that is sitting on top of the piece of paper they are drawn on, and is using it to draw a closed panel border around Dipper.

Dipper is brandishing his sword as he glares at Hilde. The sword extends outside of the panel he is in, and into the neighbouring panel, in which Poppy the dog leans to the side to avoid the sword tip.

If I had won that ridiculous Powerball, besides becoming a Renaissance-era patron for basically every comics person I know and don't know, priority number 10 on my list was to buy like 100 Bafflers

This exhibition looks weak, but doesn’t warrant the nasty vitriol in this review.

And this. We often used to stock mid century puzzles but they got too collectible.

If you have one hold onto it!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
