It's been a while since we last visited Crystal Crawler the Mirthworm (over a year in fact). It seems Crystal's gotten a job delivering pizza, and it happens her delivery route is taking her into the Fairy Tale Forest! As it happens, Crystal has to go past the wall where the little big bad wolf likes to sit (we've not seen him since we last saw Crystal---the little wolf would be bigger by now, save the Dr. Pepper from last time has stunted his growth).
Let's see what happens!
WUFF: "Ooo! Is that a pizza? Gimmie!"
CRYSTAL: "Please don't take it---I'll lose my tip!"
WUFF (threatening): "Don't make me howl at you!"
/the wolf takes the pizza/
WUFF (annoyed): "Hey, what gives? This isn't pizza, it's just a big crust! I don't want this!"
/Crystal recovers the pizza/
CRYSTAL: "It's not yours to begin with---it's for the man from the magic fish story."
WUFF: "The man whose wife is never satisfied?"
CRYSTAL: "Yes. And I've nine minutes left to deliver the crust to his roof, or it's free!"
WUFF: "Why to the roof?"
CRYSTAL: "Proverbs 21:9, 'Better to live on the roof than share the house with a nagging wife'"
WUFF (climbing from the wall): "Can't argue with that, but why just a crust?"
CRYSTAL (departing): "Proverbs 17:1, 'Better a dry crust with peace than a house full of feasting with strife'
WUFF (to reader): "So boys and girls, the moral of our story is: if you want to live inside and eat good pizza, don't get married!"
Hm. I'm unsure if that's quite right, but we'll leave it there for now.
If the link doesn't work, just Google "The Magic Fish by Freya Littledale".
Pencil...
The featured pencil is advertising Domino's Pizza's 'Somethin for Nothin' promotion. This particular pencil has a dent in it, but it's a good placeholder while I wait for another. ^
Anyway, there were variations on this promotion, which seems to've lasted from between 1992 and 1994.
The 'Somthin for Nothin' Domino's pencil is fairly uncommon. For perspective, I'm an aggressive pencil hunter, and this is the first 'Somethin for Nothin' pencil I've come across. I'd hesitate to say it's actually rare, though. A truly rare, in fact nearly extinct, Domino's Pizza pencil would be (what I call) the $2-Off pencil. This pencil served as a coupon. Printed on it were words to this *effect,
'Return this pencil to any Domino's Pizza location and receive $2 off your next order'
*not the exact quote---I know the true words, but I don't want to post them here, so to prevent forgery.
Most people turned their pencils in, and those pencils would have been subsequently destroyed by Domino's. I'd pay quite a bit for a real one, but like I said, these are effectively extinct (pencil is known by only a single, badly damaged stub).

I'm unsure how/why something like this gets updated, but here's some relevant clips (as they appeared XX/XX/2024), but I digress...
"The first ”Somethin` for Nothin" promotion-to run nationally until the end of January-will offer free bread and salads when callers order a large pizza. Later promotions will offer other freebies, such as caps, T-shirts or Coke, the company said this week. ... Callers who order a $10.99 large pizza with two toppings will receive free Twisty Bread and a salad that normally would cost more than $4, which has some local franchisees less than happy. ... John Correll, a pizza consultant (and former Domino`s executive), said the promotion will probably bring an immediate sales burst. But he said the increase will be difficult to maintain. 'If you roll something out as a freebie, it`s very hard to get someone to pay a regular retail price for it later on,' he said" -Chicago Tribune
Counterpoint wolfy, Proverbs 18:22, and Proverbs 31:10-31 which covers the subject in more detail. This is why wolves go after red hoods, for none of their household is clothed in scarlet!
At least it's an easily removed watermark. Counterpoint wolfy, Proverbs 18:22, and Proverbs 31:10-3

If I add something to my art, then I intend it to be there. Downloaders are free to screw around with it (can't stop them), but I don't have to know about it, and shouldn't. Don't like my art? Fine. Don't like me? Awesome sauce! Then my unasked-for advice is to neither watch nor comment---you know, the same courtesy I (try to) extend to others.

Once and only once did I indirectly copy a character without asking, and that was wrong of me. However I feel like I am being blamed for people who outright steal entire drawings right now. And suffering for it. Foxy: *folding arms" "Not fair!"

True, you appeared to be saying you don't want your art to be modified and especially don't want to know about it. I assumed you were implicitly including art theft too with that.
