Out of the Hat

A magician pulls an elephant out of a hat, to his shock, while a rabbit sitting under the table smirks.

He'll probably be spending the rest of the night trying to make the elephant disappear.

Tripping the Light Fantastic

Friend:  So how's work going?  Andrew:  Well, it pays for tuition.  And donuts.  Chen:  Greetings, friends!  Is this not a glorious morning?  Andrew:  Oh, hey Chen.  Anni:  Haven't seen you around in a while.  Friend:  Cartoon... Chinese... vampire deer... fairy princess...  ...am I on drugs?  Andrew:  Nope.  Anni:  What you are experiencing is a normal reaction to the Chen Pi Phenominon.  Now, take deep, cleansing breaths...

Introducing the third and final of Anni Seed's cousins, Chen Pi.  She's a Chinese water deer, which do indeed have tusks, and has never quite figured out that some people find her appearance ...odd.

Her given name is Chen.  In Western name order her name is Chen Pi.  In Eastern name order her name is Chen Pi.  She's a cartoon Chinese vampire deer fairy princess.  Just go with it.

Supposing Roses

A gardener of questionable sanity snips her roses so they read "Moses supposes his toeses are us!"

I'll be honest here - this one of the dumber things I've drawn, and I'm not even sure what prompted it.  The June full moon is known as the "Rose Moon," so maybe that's a contributing factor.  Besides that, I've got nothing.  Sorry.

High School Lesson #0015

Several students inspect their band director from a distance, comparing him to a picture of a superhero in a newspaper with the caption "Clash Cymbal Saves the City."  "Yeah, okay, I see it."  "Told you."  "Wait, that was a secret?"  High School Lesson #0015:  Teachers do indeed have lives outside of the classroom.

Normally I'd say "beware the quiet ones," but given that percussion is his primary instrument (surprise, surprise), he was pretty loud to begin with.

More or Less

Son 1:  Hey, Mom?  You know how you keep saying "less is more?"  Mom:  Yes?  Son 1:  Well, we finally understand what it means, and have taken steps to apply it to our lives.  Mom:  Good to hear.  Son 2:  So because less cauliflower is more delicious, we've fed it all to the goats.  Mom:  Now wait a minute...  Son 1:  They didn't think much of it either.

Beware what deeply nuanced adages you impart unto children, because they will take it in a direction you never intended.

Waffling on Space Matters

Problem:  Regular ovens don't work in space.  Besides convection not working without gravity, there's also the issue of making sure the food is secured and evenly-cooked.  If only there were some kind of device that could enclose food and cook it... evenly... hmm...  An assortment of waffle-based foods float around a group of astronauts.  Proposal:  All space food is waffles.

To be fair, you'd probably also need a fan of some sort to pull steam away from the waffle iron (more anti-gravity fun), and even then I'm not 100% sure it will work.  But if this becomes a thing, you heard it here first.
