May Miscellany

A guitar, in a guitar-case. I borrowed it (the case) from a friend once, in order to take a guitar with me to another country. I did not, however, open it until about 5 minutes before I had to leave for the airport. On opening it, the fragrant smell of cannabis wafted out, and I noticed numerous rolls of ash, as from the end of a cigarette or a joint, inside. I tipped out the ash but could do nothing about the smell; but the Lord had mercy on me that day, and no-one in the 3 airports I went through decided to open it – or, if they did, they figured that a guitar case merely smelling of cannabis was not reason to harass a traveller.

And a partly-melted candle.

Or, “if the Roman Army went high-tech and started building giant robots, what would they look like?” (Idea shamelessly nicked from Bradford C. Walker.)

Angel

An angel from a local church. Whenever I look at this statue I always imagine him saying “yeah, I caught a fish this big once.”

This is Vot, from the planet Veekend. His principal purpose in life is to annoy students who mispronounce the word “what”.

“Vot are ve going to learn today?”

This is a comic drawn by myself (very quickly) on the basis of captions by a horse-riding teenage girl who is going through a slightly morbid phase at the moment. (The title was provided by another teenage girl.)

Students in the next class, on seeing this picture, decided it was a happy ending because unicorns are superior beings to people (or something along those lines).
