My greatest fear

Koalas are cute until you take a really good look at them. Then you notice they have pointy teeth, slitted iris, 2 thumbs and a bad temper.

It's not the same type of cold...

I don't know what it's like in the Territories. 

Baked Goods

For those who don't know, or know them by another name, Church Windows are a dessert square that is made with chocolate, marshmallows and peanut butter. They are delicious! We usually make them around Christmas.

It's been a pretty rough start of the year for me and my family.  On January 2nd, after fighting an unsuccessful battle with an illness that was shrinking her liver, we had to put our dog, Olie, down. Olie was our first dog and we had her for almost 12 years, that's almost 75 in Labrador years (she was a mix of Lab and Collie)
So I have been too depressed to post anything on this site. I have been drawing, but not anything I care to share with the general public. Unless the general public would like to be depressed. Everyone has been very supportive and caring while we try to deal.

Over the Christmas season there was some pretty funny incidents that have inspired some comic ideas. This comic being one of them.
It's not that far off from what originally happened.

It is $20.00 per book. If you would like a copy you can contact me at jade_pm@hotmail.com.

A Beastly Alphabet for Beastly Children is a great way to get kids to read! After all, what is more fun then monsters?

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, lend your ear this way...

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL it's getting to that time of year again. One of my favorite seasons, I think only second to Easter. Or maybe tied with Easter.
And what with my parents singing secular Christmas songs in the kitchen, using YouTube as a karaoke machine, (we don't sing the religious ones 'till Advent starts, we're Catholic in case you haven't noticed, anyway) so I thought I would get into the holiday spirit and draw a picture of Jolly Old St. Nicholas.
At the First Council of Nicaea.

If that doesn't get you in the Holiday Spirit I don't know what will!

Varried Version of Rider Pride

and one lonely bomber fan. Also Erin's shirt is one of those "future Rider Fan" shirts. I did take some liberty with this picture. Namely we can't fit that many people on our couch, and there is no way in Hell very-pregnant-Erin would be sitting in the middle.
