Sketch Day 32 X = Xanadu, Xenophobic



well .. what I first thought was a letter with some fab potential ,smolders now in a large pile of sketch fail.
"Xenophobic" a cool word meaning "the fear of the strange or unusual" was a home run word. But, after many thumbnail ideas I realized I had nothing, so I went with "Xanadu" and started to create some creepy story about the "Magic Owls of Xanadu" and then... noticed that the owl looked more like something Aunt Elaine would have hung on her kitchen wall back in the day.
So, I just decided to draw Uncle Larry & Aunt Elaine and a friendly firecracker - to blow all this mess up with.

Ok ,a few winks a bowl of soup and some Warren Zevon gave birth to the Wereowl of Xanadu. this is what happens to you if you listen to too much Olivia Newton John. (thanks Jack ; )

Ever since they were but wee lads Ulrich and Stick had been great friends.
Then one warm summer night, in front of a campfire, things turned very ugly.

Sketch Day 26 S= Siamese


The twins liked to argue about everything. Who was the better looking, who's a better thumb wrestler, who's better at playing Rummy, you know things we all argue about.

Tonight's argument was different though. Tonight they were dining with the Queen and only one of them could be on her good side.

Sketch Day 25 R= Rummy



Reginald's wife had issued a stern warning about coming home late again.
But he couldn't resist just one last hand of Rummy!

And....a reasonable radish.
