Originally planned for late March, but laid on the shelf until being rescheduled for Sunday, May 28 (as a Memorial Day tie-in). Babysitting and Wikipedia commitments, however, delayed it further until the last possible minute.

In honour of the unofficial start of U.S. summer, meet everyone's favourite open-source boy-raccoon wonder at the beach in Marigot, Dominica. (All that's missing are the seagull and wave sound effects.) This piece (by Bluey fan "Pastel_ito3" [Mitzuky Junno]) publicly débuted in "Here's to our next 15,000 pages", our FTA milestone edition from March 22, in which I petitioned: "Can we petition [the Nature Island]'s postal agency to make this their first modern-day public-domain stamp design?"

Speaking of that homeland, four in our family are heading back there late next month, they reminded me on Sunday afternoon. Too bad I won't be one of them--owing to an expired passport back home that couldn't be processed in time; the high costs of the tickets; and our cash collectively running short (me on Capital One included). Which effectively means no babysitting pay while they're away on vacation. However, I have two secret weapons that may compensate for that--a brand-new Galaxy Tab A, bought at the start of this press-time month, and a moribund anthro-commission line that could sure use some attention. Let me know if you'd like your own character drawn too! (Details next time on Miraheze.)

Tomorrow, meet the latest addition to Sam's list of love buddies. (Hint: Biologically related to Marion the snow leopard, whom you may have met on RDT and FTA before if you're lucky.) And coming soon, Sam's mouse-hybrid girlfriend Nomena. (Head over to FA/IB for all but one in this batch; the kinkiest of the lot is heading to our first pool, "Feechie"--and you'll know why once we get there.)

Meanwhile, one-shot duties await--and a certain Miraheze subdomain on the verge of shuttering could sure use the end result.

Submission #4 (third successful one) with PstB.
