Inventions!

Per my request last week, you’ve sent me some lovely wacky, useful, interesting ideas for inventions to draw as a 50 euro reward for my current crowdfunding. Here are the first three I received and drew:

Martin D. suggested a Shut-Your-Trap Machine that simultaneously opens the recipient’s ears - very useful!

Emiel M. thought up this very sympathetic robot that compliments and cheers you - especially when you’ve chosen a comic to read from his free library!

Mary B.’s million dollar idea is Dehydrated Water - which her husband thinks is impossible. Of course it isn’t! Isn’t an ice cube technically dehydrated water? I say it is! Let’s celebrate!!!

The fun thing about drawing these is that I get to use paper, pencils and pens again - for the past half year I’ve been really getting into my iPad (which I adore and don’t ever want to do without) - but it feels really nice to make something “the old way” again.

Here’s a bonus photograph: my musings on Carl Barks prompted our good friend Willard M. to offer me two of his books on Barks, which my husband and I collected from Willard’s wonderful rural home yesterday:

As you can see: Spring is definitely springing in Holland!

Have a great day, and please keep the ideas for inventions coming - at the moment 25 people have chosen an original drawing as a reward in my Science comics album crowdfunding, so I’ll be drawing a lot more of these and keep you posted!
