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!
Oh, Margreet! My husband laughed out LOUD and chuckled and just loved your drawing and your mention of him. He said, "It's an ice cube!" and laughed again. This is so great. Thank you for putting pen/pencil to paper to perfectly illustrate what I've been thinking for years. Super duper loved this. 🤣
Oh wow, these are all INCREDIBLE inventions represented absolutely PERFECTLY! 🙌
