Oh Worm?

Oh worm?

I just love velvet worms; they're such delightful little web-slingers.

The first four pages of a zine. The background of all pages is cream paper with blue lines. The top page says Classroom Monsters! in black letters. The M in monsters is covered in blue fur with two teeth at the bottom of the M. Below that it says Ari Coester and @astro-axolotl. Around the edges of the paper are a piece of each of the monsters in the pages of the books. Clockwise from top: an insect mouth with sharp teeth, a blue snail tail leaving a trail of dark purple glittery slime, two eyes on stalks, two triangular horns, an insect leg, and a scaly tail with a yellow paper airplane on the tail. 
The next page is titled Munch Box in red. It is an orange lunch box with a red devil tail, blue furry legs with white claws, and a red forked tongue coming out from between sharp teeth. It has two cream horns near a gold handle. Its eye stares at the viewer. The text below reads "looks like a lunch box to trick you into putting food into it. DO NOT FEED!!"
The next page says Pencil Eater in Red. It is a red pencil sharpener with 4 black insect legs on the left and two on the right. The hole of the sharpener has three sharp teeth, two on top and one on bottom. A crest of pencil shaving comes out of the back. Two eyes on stalks are on the opposite side of the hole and stare back at the viewer. The text below says: "Eats pencil lead. Keeps wood shaving on back to look bigger. "
The last page is titled Eraser Crab in red. It's a pink pencil eraser topper with an eye in the hole and a small red semi-circular mouth beneath it. In the mouth is a pencil shaving. It has eight red legs, four on each side. The text below says "scavenge pencil shavings. switch eraser shells as they get bigger."
The last three pages of the zine. The top page is titled Spider Plant. It is a terracota pot with a succulent in the dirt. The center bud of the succulent is red purple and the rest of the leaves are green. The pot has one large eye and two stickers: a star and a rainbow. It has 8 legs arranged in a circle around the water catching dish. The text  below says "gives the plant a home in exchange for sugars. Plant also helps camouflage." 
The next page is titled in red "Paper Griffen". It's a yellow paper airplane with blue squiggles drawn all over it and an eye near the nose. Two orange bird legs with sharp talons are curled beneath the body. A green scaled tail comes from the central crease and curls around the plane. The tip has a smaller paper air plane. There are black motion lines near the tail. The text reads "can't fly, only glide. uses tail for steering." The last page is titled in red Snue. It's a purple glitter glue bottle with slightly off Elmer's branding and lettering. The orange cap has two eyes on blue stalks coming out of it. The foot of the snue comes out of the underside of the bottle. It is light blue and leaves behind a trail of purple glitter glue. The small text reads "Can pull whole body into bottle for safety. Leaves behind a glittery slime trail."

A silly comic about some monsters that live in classrooms. Look more closely at your school supplies.

A pair of six-sided pink fuzzy dice connected by a braided purple cord. The ones are replaced by big round eyes with dark purple cat-like pupils. The left dice has a wide pupil and a mischievous grin with sharp teeth. A thin pointed tongue flicks out from its mouth. The right's pupil is smaller and its smile more timid. Its tongue is rounded. Each dice stands on a single orange chicken leg with white toes and spurs.

A silly little monster to brighten your day. I think they look funny hopping around.

We Love An Alien Ecosystem In This House. We Also Love Giving Deer Spine Spikes To Defend Against Big

We love an alien ecosystem in this house. We also love giving deer spine spikes to defend against big birds and making fungi trees will bioluminescent spore pods. Image Id under keep reading.

Image Id: An astronaut in a pale blue space suit sits beneath a dark green tree with heavily textured bark. At its base, same green shoots point up towards the astronaut and the branches which have glowing oblong blue pods at their tips. The astronaut has black boots, pants with pockets on inner and outer calf and thigh, and a gray belt with many pouches. Attached to the belt is a knife in a black sheath. She wears a gray oxygen tank like a backpack and  gray tube threads into a hole on the chest of her suit. Her helmet screws into her suit in a gray ring at the neck. It is stylized with an ear level blue circle that is surrounded by a gray ring with a stem that connects to a triangle at the based of the helmet. There’s a blue patch on her shoulder. Brown hair frames her smiling face, eyes wide with delight and wonder. She reaches with a black glove with gray bending fingers and a blue stripe across the back towards blue floating glowing spores. The background is a field of red grass beneath a dark blue sky with a flush of yellow at the bottom. The blue is filled with stars the same color as the spores. A herd of strange deer with spines on their back graze in the distance. One looks at the camera. One walks towards the left. One eats with its head buried in the grass. Beneath the stars their is a city  of green and blue cylindrical buildings with rounded tops and spherical protrusions. The lights in the windows are blue like the spores and stars. Orange lights hover in the sky. A translucent blue dome with a hexagonal pattern near the top surrounds the city. /End Id

A comic with dark blue on the outside of the panels.
First Panel (whole line): A crowded aquarium with two girls staring at a massive zebra shark whose tail bursts from the top of the panel. 
Second panel (half line): One girl with short hair looking at the tank with complete awe. 
Third panel (half line): Other girl with long hair looking at short haired girl and blushing. 
Fourth panel ( full line): Close up of long-haired girl's hand reaching for short-haired girl's hand.
Fifth panel (full line): Close up of long-haired girl's hand pulling back. Short-haired girl has not noticed.

Lesbian pining at the aquarium. Yes I know I'm incredibly original.

A white mug sits on a wooden table in the morning sun. Inside the mug, there is a small coral reef with green, pink, yellow, and purple corals and anemones. Above the reef, many fish in the same colors swim. Near the top of the water, a school of five eagle rays swims near the right edge of the mug and a black tipped reef shark swims near the left edge. The water's surface ripples and shimmers. On the outside of the mug's left side, a white hand rests. A black sweater pools around its wrist

I think something is wrong with my coffee maker....

A korean leaps into the air with a silver baseball bat held  in both hands over their shoulder. They're wearing a dark blue leather jacket with asymmetrical tails, a white shirt, and gray shorts. They have purple and white striped socks and black and white converse. A black backwards baseball keeps their spiky black hair in check. Their expression is angry and intense. A green bandana covers their mouth. They're lit from below by orange city lights, and from the left by a row of blue street lights, receding with the brick buildings into the distance. A city skyline stretches behind them beneath a sky that goes from orange at the bottom to dark blue at the top.

They're here; they're queer; and they're ready to fuck shit up.

Another oc, different story than dogslobber and different than Kira. The working title is Symbol. They're name is Ryder, alias Rookie. What are they fighting? Wait and see.
