Seems Tasli has found a dollar on the sidewalk. Let's see how he spends it...
TASLI: "Sweet! I found a dollar! Must be my lucky day!"
[Tasli turns and notices a sign outside a convenience store that reads, 'Millionaire Lottery Tickets/$1 ea.']
TASLI (to self): "And who says it won't get luckier?"
[a minute later...]
TASLI (to clerk): "What do you mean I gotta be 18 to buy a lottery ticket!?"
CLERK: "I don't make the rules, kid, but I'll lose my job if I don't enforce them"
TASLI (matter-of-factly): "Rules exist to be broken"
TASLI (holding a candy bar): "Besides, if you can sell these chemicals to cubs, why can't you sell one a piece of paper!?"
CLERK: "Get outta here, kid---ya bother me!"
[Tasli exists the store and sees the Acesexual Fox walking by]
TASLI: "Hey, Mr. Ace! I want to buy a lottery ticket, but the jerk inside won't sell me one. Would you get me it?"
ACEFOX: "No will do, Tasli. Anyway, that dollar is worth infinitely more than you can expect from the lottery"
TASLI (to reader): "Well, I guess I'm a winner after all!"
And so ends another 'lovably naive' comic from Yours Truly. ^^
And, yes, I drew Ace waaaaaay out of scale here (I drew him like I was drawing the wolf mom) ...but none of you expected quality from me, so I know no one is disappointed. ^_^
Also, popples are coming (and have been a while now). I've already given a sneak preview of several (but not all of) my popple OCs. We'll see them in action before too long (providing the good Lord doesn't call me home beforetime).
It's worth mentioning that my 'Giggle Six' quickies will take place in the human world, but it's a world wherein exists popples (duh!), care bears, and such.
So what's the delay?
I'm still drafting (I have popples, care bears, humans and various animals to draw), as well I'm stubbornly (or 'tenaciously', if you will) to the hope that I'll feature my first Giggle Six story with a Popples pencil. I've so far had no luck in finding such a pencil---they are effectively extinct.
Additionally, I'm working out all the bugs insofar as how my popples and their magic works---it has to be believable and consistent.
All that said, you all know my art is terrible and not to expect too much---I already feel I've oversold my popples. :(
So let's talk about pencils...
The featured pencil is the 'Millionaire' from Cavalier Pencil Co (which may or may not be related to Commonwealth Pencil Co).
This pencil was probably made sometime between the mid 1960s to the early 1970s (hard to say exactly).
The 'Millionaire' has a double-banded ferrule, implying it's a higher-quality pencil. It's also interesting because the pencil's number is a nice round '1000' (there are pencil people who collect numbers). :3
The 'Millionaire' isn't a grail pencil, but they aren't easy to find (actually, pencils from Cavalier are uncommon in general).
