It’s Benjamin Hanklin. *ducks*

Among the real Benjamin Franklin’s inventions: bifocals, the lightning rod, swim fins, the Franklin Stove, the glass armonica, and the flexible urinary catheter (much to the relief of patients everywhere).

@nerdfarters.bsky.social #Nerdfighteria #Nerdfighters
2025, JL. Benjamin Hanklin. Image is of Hank Green dressed like Benjamin Franklin. A glowing key and a kite fly in the stormy sky above. There is also correspondence between Hank and John, in which Hank talks about his latest invention (2D bifocals), and John says they’ll never sell. A Jarrod lurks in the lower right corner.

Apropos of nothing, I just saw an article describe Hank Green as ‘Montana Celeb and Sock King’.

😂😂

He’s made it, folks.

Anglerfish humor.
2025, JL. A female anglerfish and a potential mate talk things over. “I don’t know about this, Bob…. It just doesn’t seem like a healthy relationship to me.” *Male anglerfish are tiny, and when they find a female, they will bite and hold on until they fuse. He basically becomes a lump with a sperm supply.

This one’s not finished - the dragon is still too line-y, I need to add more stuff, etc., and the actual image is larger. That said, I wanted to get this in before October was over. 😅

You ever wake up in the morning, look at something you drew the night before, and think ‘Blergh’?
