p.1 #1 · #291: Recharging


So after my grisly death last week, Mrs. Flibble had a go at sticking back together my shredded body with some domestic strength wood glue. Apparently it took her quite a while, and she tells me she only had a few bits left over.

I think she did a pretty good job, although I've yet to try out all bodily functions.

Anyway. After a quick jump-start I was left with the arduous task of recharging my brain back up to 30 percent. Any more than that and things can go horribly wrong. You wouldn't like to see me when I'm 31 percent, let alone 32.

Splendid.


A couple of points of note: This photo was excruciatingly painful to make. I really did clamp that clip to my ear and it has a mighty strong spring. By the end I was bleeding. *Sigh* Lit with two flashes: main was from above camera left through an umbrella and second was from bottom right reflected off something spangly for a bit of fill. Wide angle lens about 15cm from gurning idiot.

Very nice, though I would probably lose the smoke...

How we sacrifice for our art... well, you anyway...

Always entertaining and amusing, even if somewhat distorted...

It's good to know that Mrs. Fibble is well up on her reconstructive skills. I remember that unfortunate episode when she had to put you back together after she had to decapitate you and then couldn't find a spare obfulcantonator. Nasty bit of work, that. Now that you are back in business, Matron and the Llams should have their work cut out for them so long as you continue the proper regimen of the purple pills with the green polka dots. Things are lookng up.

As to the photo: I think it is quite splendid, indeed! And I like the smoke. It gives it that gritty toudh of reality that will keep the Llamas on their toes. Do keep away from the Alpacas, though. This time of year they can get a bit randy.

Fond regards,

Endre

Made me laugh when i saw this and that can only be good for you. Great use of that wide angled lens . Just a little suggestion next time take the spring out of the croc clips and just superglue to your ears that way they wont bleed
Take care

Hi Fibble,

Fantastic shot yet again. The detail in the eye is splendid. You do know that you are allowed to put clear tape on the end of the clip. They don't bite nearly so much that way. I like the concept a lot and your execution of it is masterful.
Good luck this week.

Excellent! And I see you're wearing your wife's blouse again? Looks good on you; perfect outfit for brain recharging, I think.

Ha! Glad to hear you're back up and running at maximum (although only 30%) capacity.
Nice shirt by the way.

This is what happens when fashion designers play god. Nice pink "pirate" shirt

Very creative entry, as usual.

After the shredder I was worried. Nice to see your back at 30%. I know I have compared you to Millington before, but you are the visual version of his extremely funny writing. Good luck!
