The Avocado: Fruit not Vegetable


Yes it has been a while since I updated, and I'm sure you all have been worried sick, so here is a little ditty I put together just for you. I've been working on other artistic pursuits lately, which leaves me little time to do the quick sketches I generally like to post here. Hope you like iambic pentameter.

First of all, the Bound'ry is back open, to follow up on the last blog post. However, I am only pulling about a shift a week over there, possibly because my manager has caught on to my nefarious plan to abandon him once school starts back.

I did play laser tag last Saturday; the science center hosted a game of employees versus volunteers, which was lots of fun. The floor plan is already designed to foster plenty of running about, so giving everyone weapons made it seem very action movie. To give you a feel of the dynamic, most of the volunteers were in high school, while most of the employees were sophomores in college (there are six of us that are the same age--weird, right?).

The science center puts me in contact with a lot of children, so I am surprised I have managed not to get sick yet. How can children be so adorable and yet so filthy? One little boy liked the rides so much that he invited me to his birthday party at Disney World. Another one spat in my face (it was not malicious; he was simply unaware of what people generally do when they talk to keep spit from flying out).

I do like iambic pentameter... the story is a bit confusing but I think I've got it now. ^_^;;

Hmmm-- I was worried about that. Flander was playing cards one night and ran out of money so he flippantly started betting his own limbs. When Flander passed out, Jarvis went ahead and performed an amateur surgery, taking Flander's leg to replace his own gangrenous one.

I have since learned that Scurvy is not at all similar to Gangrene, but the comic went up before I could think of a way to change it.
