Tag Archives: Inktober 2022

Last weekend I attended my high school’s 50th Reunion and did not do any drawing. Today I am catching up with my Inktober daily prompts. They are all based on bad puns: Fowl Language from a waterfowl; Stick In The Mud is a talking pretzel stick; Two Close Scrapes involved two close-together scrapes. I do not apologize, but I sympathize with bad pun haters. The Number 8 is one such. Sorry, pal. Don’t be Eightin’.

“Trip” is slippery. It can mean Stumble or Journey or Psychedelic Experience or Activate. Trips is pokerspeak for three of a kind. A Tripmeter is an odometer within an odometer. Trip can even describe a human being. “That guy is a real trip. Flaky as a Betty Crocker crust.”

Gargoyle

Great in an imbroglio
Atavistic play
Rager for the heads that roll
Got that soul of Klee

Myth-rumor has it that Saint Romanus of Rouen had had the dragon he had vanquished burned at the stake, but the dragon’s throat and head proved flame-resistant. So the Rouennaise threw the head on the Rouen cathedral roof to be a “Ye Be Warned” reminder to demons and other evilmakers that God and his vicar the Archbishop were not to be trifled with. And behold, there came a great rain, and the gargoyle’s throat took in the rain, and it gushed from the mouth, and cathydraulic damage was diverted away, and ever since then some gargoyles have served as rain gutters, and that’s why their voices are gutteral. Thank you, Reader Friends, for reading my nonsensical Bad Pun of the Day. 🙂
