Have You Ever Wondered Where Books Come From?

Have you ever wondered where books come from?

Well then, let me show you, because that’s what I do for a living.

Right now, it’s this time of the year, and the little ones have just freshly hatched:

You’ll notice they’re still blind and naked when they hatch. So I make them little coats to keep them warm during their first winter:

image

See how they happily line up to put them on:

image

See? Better. Now they’re ready to go and explore the world.

And if they make it through the winter and we take good care of them, they will grow up to be strong and wise like their older fellows:

So, in case you were ever wondering, now you know.

I must admit that I have, on occasion, felt like a Jeevesless Wooster. Anyone else?

And I Longed For Your Kiss For A Million Years

And I longed for your kiss for a million years

And I Longed For Your Kiss For A Million Years

The story of the Ineffable Husbands is not that different from that of a stalactite and a stalagmite finally finding each other.

My friend @lunaramoonlight and I just visited a cave in Spain and she said stalactite and stalagmite have the slowest of the slow burns, only kissing after thousands and thousands of years... and I was like OMG THAT'S SO GOOD OMENS CODED! So I simply had to draw them like this.

Title: The Sleeping Beauty  Panel 1: A knight on a horse spots a castle behind a great hedge of thorns and says "I've never noticed that before"  Panel 2 and 3: The knight enters the castle with sword drawn and finds a guard slumped on a bench. "Everyone's asleep?" he says to himself.  Panel 4 and 5: The knigt approaches a room marked LIBRARY and goes in.  The room is empty and he murmurs "So lovely and quiet in here."  Panel 6 and 7: He sits in a comfortable chair and says "I'll read for a while, then explore the rest of the castle". He leafs through a book and yawns then drops off to sleep.  Panel 8: The sound of his gentle snoring rises from the castle.

Do you think people who are virgin should write smut? I feel like most of them don’t even know what they’re writing and just write what they think sex is

the implication this ask suggests that people who write about murders, cannibalism, politics, magic, royalty au, sci-fi, wars, supernatural, time travel, medieval era, werewolves, vampires, mermaids or goblins must be murderers, cannibals, presidents, wizards, royalties, astronauts, ghost hunters, soldiers, time travelers, knights, werewolves, vampires, mermaids or goblins in real life is so funny to me
