• Ivan: I am begging you, Miles. For once in your life, go home. Please. Just this once. Go home.

Care to tango with the most eligible bachelor in hippo history? #TangoTonyTuesday

Sometimes hippos really do look like their cute cartoon counterparts.

Despite that, they’re the most dangerous animal in Africa; territorial, aggressive, nervous, and able to shift their ton-and-a-half at 30kmh / 20mph after someone who’s annoyed them or when in a hurry back to the water (hint - don’t be in the way).

Like certain rabbits, they’re equipped with nasty, big, pointy teeth (insert obligatory finger gesture here)…

These two aren’t yawning: it’s the hippo version of “This is a knife / no, THIS is a knife, come on if you’re hard enough…”

Inktober day 13 - Guarded

“Who watches the watchmen? Me.”

Another illustration of a scene from “Thud!”. It occurred to me that this probably doesn’t make much sense to anyone who hasn’t read the book, but hey.

“At some time in the recent past someone had decided to brighten the ancient corridors of the University by painting them, having some vague notion that Learning Should Be Fun. It hadn’t worked. It’s a fact known throughout the universes that no matter how carefully the colors are chosen, institutional decor ends up as either vomit green, unmentionable brown, nicotine yellow or surgical appliance pink. By some little-understood process of sympathetic resonance, corridors painted in those colors always smell slightly of boiled cabbage—even if no cabbage is ever cooked in the vicinity.”
