RGHSKTCH: Thick Diameter Round Parcel Pencil
POPPLES: Mantis
Seems Mimi and Mubba are strolling through the swamp ...where a most horrible sight appears before their eyes! D:

Let's watch...

MIMI: "Mubba! Look!"

MIMI: "It's the tilapia-hunting butterfly..."

MIMI (with horror): "And it's found something!"

[The butterfly sits upon a log floating in the murky swamp mire. It sits patiently, slowing lifting and lowering its wings. Bubbles appear in the water, indicating a tilapia is near the surface!
The butterfly grabs hold of the fish---flapping its wings hard enough to part the waters! The fish submits, and is carried aloft into the tallest of the trees...]

MIMI (with fear and wonder): "It's taken its catch to the trees. The fish'll soon be reduced to bones"

MUBBA (innocent): "Gruesome, but don't we eat the fish, too?"

MIMI (matter-of-fact): "It's different when a butterfly does it, Mubba"

...Why do you people watch me? lol

Anyway, the tilapia-hunting butterfly isn't new: it appeared in one of last-year's Christmas comics. The butterfly is supposedly friends with Gene, though the butterfly's loyalty is somewhat questionable.

Pencil...

The featured pencil is the 'Speed' from Empire Pencil Co. This particular one has a wide top, though not all 'Speed' pencils had these.

Not surprisingly I don't think the little cactoids cared at all!
They just want to inflict screaming pain on their victims and in that they succeeded! ;D

Hmmm, that's worse than the brambles and nettles I have dealt with... What were they going after? Tarantula Hawk? Also, I was actually cringing watching that poor guy.

Those things are evil incarnate. Many an unwary and / or new to the desert hiker has thought they look soft and fluffy only to discover to their horror that they're anything BUT. It also doesn't help that (STUPID!!!!!!!!) people go hiking in 110+F temps with only ONE PINT (half a liter) of water for a WHOLE DAY and wear SANDLES, SHORTS and SHORT SLEEVED SHIRTS WITH NO HAT!!!!

Sorry but those Darwin Award wannabes get what they deserve.  :/

O.O!!! oooooooooooooooooo!!! NICE HAUL!!

Also I LOVE that box. I can't read what's written inside but is it an actual wooden pencil box!??
IceAgeChippies

Thx! :3

The box originally contained a 'Geyser Fountain Syringe' and instructions on how to use it.

The box is VERY light---the wood is totally dry!

The mince meat pencils are interesting. The white ones were made in celebration of the product's 75th anniversary and are dated 1917. The blue ones have no dates, but would be roughly the same vintage.
Oddly, though both the whites and the blues are long-ferrule pencils, the blues have SLIGHTLY shorter ferrules. like it's barely noticeable. There were also some sharpened blue ones which had their ferrules removed at some point (the paint is scratched to show a ferrule used to be there) and the barrels on those are round (the others are all hex-shaped).

Mincemeat was 75 years old in 1917???!!! DAMN!!
I have to admit I'm not much of a fan of the product itself but those pencils are WAY cool. And interesting bit of trivia about the white and blue ones. Maybe you can do a mincemeat cartoon with one of the sharpened ones? Christmas IS just around the corner (LITERLY considering they had HALLOWEEN DECREATIONS up in FREAKING AUG.!!!). :D

All in all I'd say you got yourself quite the score! Gratz! :D
IceAgeChippies

Well, Atmore's Mince Meat (& Plum Pudding!) was 75 years old at the time (1917).

The company made a lot of funky trading cards back in the day (late 1800s). I wouldn't mind finding one IRL. :3

I may draw with it. It's a HARD pencil, kinda similar to the Zephyr I once used.
KNIFE
1 year, 3 months ago
How hard would you say. 3H or above?
IceAgeChippies
1 year, 3 months ago
Prolly higher. 4 or so.
KNIFE
1 year, 3 months ago
Wow!
That's unusual for a standard writing pencil I would think.
I'd never use anything higher than a 3 and only if that was the only one available.
IceAgeChippies

I spent about $80 on pencils the other day! XD

I got some I wasn't even supposed to have, even! :O

One of those movies everyone has seen except for me ...and Foxy, apparently.
FoxyIbLover

Actually I did see it, some of it was hilarious in Foxy's opinion... But unfortunately the movie wasn't quite bonkers enough to fully satisfy poor Foxy and he still felt bored... :-(

Looks like Mimi wants to deprive that poor butterfly of a fish dinner.
IceAgeChippies

She wishes the butterfly was different. :3
moyomongoose

Or wishing she could have had that fish instead of the butterfly having it.

That could very well be. :3
