Birthdays!

For some reason I have a lot of friends with birthdays in January.  I've been partying all month long!  I  have especially big plans for this evening- it's a murder mystery party!  I've never been to one before, so I'll let you know how it goes.  :-)  But before that, here's a little something I whipped up to celebrate getting older.

 

"Where's that damn remora when you need him!"

I know what you're thinking.  You're thinking, do sharks really have dentures?  And if so, does Poligrip work in the ocean?  And if so, how come my grandpa won't swim in the ocean?  Am I right??  No?  Okay. 



After I drew this, I wondered to myself if sharks really do have tongues.  Turns out they do, but they're not like ours and are called something totally unpronounceable and frankly I don't want to bore you.  What?  Too late? 

Still Life

I recently visited an exhibit of Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne, and other post-impressionist painters which was on loan from the Musée d’Orsay.  It was amazing!  It was a late showing so there weren’t too many people there.  It seems that all masters at some point paint a still life or two.  Or 8 dozen.  In the spirit of still life, I offer my contribution.  This should put me on the fast track to world renown! 

Do you see the detail on that lemon?  And what about those candlesticks!  They’re meant to be wavy- it’s art!  The crooked candlesticks are in no way related to the fact that I can’t draw a straight line. 

On second thought, I like this one much better.  Much more me.  

 

Everybody knows that stegosaurus love pineapple.  Do you think Van Gogh would approve?

What does Pterodactyl taste like?

To be honest, I’ve always resented the pterodactyl a bit for having the audacity to start its name with a “p”, but sound like a “t”.  I know it’s not their fault- I bet they employed some form of onomatopoeia to describe themselves, like “screeeeeeeech”, but my resentment remains.  It’s like calling myself, “Msarah”, and then telling everyone the “m” is silent.  Just rude!  

Because they fly I bet a lot of people think they were the predecessors to birds.  

Just need some dipping sauce...

 

Apparently they weren’t though, and according to the ever infallible Wikipedia, some scientists think that the rising bird population is to blame for the pterodactyl extinction [citation needed].

Regardless, I don’t think it matters much.  Besides, doesn't everything tastes like chicken in the end?
