Grave Reading

Story by Marge

Cleric walked into the conference room. Dragon was there, by her illusory fireplace, reading.

Cleric walked over and tried to see over Dragon’s shoulder. “What are you reading?”

“Today’s newspaper.” Dragon pointed at the picture on the page she was reading. “Look. There are ads in here for burial plots.”

Cleric scoffed. “That’s the last thing you need.”

The story, Dragon and Cleric by Marge of margecutter.wordpress.com. An enjoyable visitation to her Sunday stories characters. If you fancy meeting her characters again, head on over to her blog for weekly tales of fantasy, dwarves and ponies.

Forest Floofs

“I’m tellin ya,” sighed Floofy, “when 2020 comes, we’re gonna have a year of bad vision puns.”

“That’s looking ahead,” replied Floof.

“I see what you did there,” laughed Floo.

“Bugger,” sighed Floofy.

I do like Floof. It’s the bestest of names. Tomorrow I have a collab with Marge and then next week I return to the usual Little Fears photo-doodles. I will be mixing in doodles like the Floofs as I go.

As with all of this week’s doodles, the forest Floofs are available over on my Etsy store. I’ve also dropped the price of a lot of my older original illustrations. If you’ve had an eye on one but the price has put you off, now’s the time to nobble. Linky: littlefears.etsy.com

Sprint

“Botanica, mate,” said Ami, “what’s up?”

“I just chased a mugger out of my garden,” sighed Botanica.

“Oh dear,” replied Ami. “Did he steal anything from you?”

“My wallet,” grumbled Botanica. “He really gave me a run for my money.”

Fanfic

“Mate,” said Soil, “I tell ya now, I live for fiction about mud.”

“Nice,” said Sprite. “I live for fiction about alarm clocks.”

“Sounds a bit odd,” remarked Soil.

“It is,” sighed Sprite. “But it’s the only thing that gets me up in the morning.”

Moods

“What’s up?” asked Wobble.

“I’ve lost my mood ring,” grumbled Wibble.

“Oh dear,” replied Wobble. “I hope you’re not too upset.”

“Honestly,” sighed Wibble, “I don’t know how I feel…”

Damp Deerhound

“You look bummed, mate,” said Sprite.

“I am,” sighed Deerhound. “I slept in a puddle last night. Now the fur on my knee is all matted.”

“Sorry to hear that,” replied Sprite. “Hey, it could be worse. You could have your leg stuck in a hole in the ground filled with water.”

“Give it a break,” sighed Deerhound. “I know you mean well…”

HAH! Unusually subtle for me. Like yesterday, my tiny Fear is available on Etsy for £6 with free global postage. Linky: littlefears.etsy.com

When I posted yesterday, I looked at the panel and remembered why I don’t like the ultra short comic style for the Fears. Drawing out a story for maximum-groan is what causes my readers to cry out in pain when they read the punchline. Without the longer story side of it, readers are less likely to slam their heads on the desk, snap pencils or throw keyboards across the room.

It seems most people agree. That’s fine with me!

I was surprised at how many folks showed the love for my usual lo-fi photo with doodle on. My cockles were warmed. Cheers, rabble! So, mixing it up is the way forward. A little of this and a little of that, all within the Fears aesthetic and humour.

Although, this week, it’s all about the micro doodle.

Clouded Senses

I have no video today because it would be far too short. I’ll save this week’s tales up and put five into a single video.

Please do let me know if you prefer this style or my usual wordier stories and old style images. I only plan to do these for a week, but it’ll sure help knowing what is and isn’t liked in the future.

I’ll be selling this week’s doodles on Etsy. They’re only trading card size, but it’s a cheap way to nobble a Fears doodle. Linky: littlefears.etsy.com

Tool Drop

“I do,” laughed Spectre. “I saw it all.”

“What happened?” asked Sprite.

“Well,” started Spectre, “as Snake chased you out of the building, a tradesman dropped a tool off the roof which whacked her on the head.”

“Oh that makes sense,” pondered Sprite. “I mean, one moment she was right behind me, then the next, BOSCH!”

Crowbar

“They were dark days for smart birds,” remarked Clouds.

“What’s that?” asked a passing Clouds.

“Just remembering what it was like before crowbars were invented,” remarked Clouds.

“Most crows could only drink from home,” smirked Clouds.

Global Meet

“Was that Desmond?” asked Lucy.

“Yeah,” replied Ant. “Didn’t think I’d see him again after he stole me tiny antique globe and left the country.”

“Aha,” chuckled Lucy. “He should have known it’s a small world.”
