On Weebil

Is it wrong that I actually expected people to realize that I was talking about Dune two posts ago? I didn't think for an instant that people wouldn't get it, because you're my friends...of course you'd all get the reference to a sci-fi classic.

Also, to explain to my dear single commenter: Weebil is my duck-billed penguin alter-ego. She (it? I've never thought of Weebil as anything other than Weebil) makes appearances in 'Do's birthday card from a few years back and possibly in the TOLO-book of eternal awesome, but I can't really remember for sure. Mostly, if I have to write and draw about myself in any way, I draw Weebil...which gives me an idea for my Drawing & Painting self-portrait, and I can already tell it's a BAD IDEA.

But it would be really funny.

Ms. K-E: Oh...well, this is interesting?

Me: This is Weebil. This is how I see my inner self.

Ms. K-E: Ah...So....how did you come up with this?

Me: It came to me in a flash of inspiration and magic.

Ms. K-E: Right...so...keep up the good work?

Me: Thanks. I'll just finish penciling in my platypus bill.

I kind of like Weebil, even though it (she?) doesn't really have eyes, or hands, or thumbs, opposable or otherwise. Weebil is still kind of cute, consider it's a creature of my own invention, and I feel like appearance-wise, Weebil accurately reflects how I feel about myself. IN MY SOUL. Or something.

Oh no, the Dune references were a given, I was talking about the little barnacle story...which I'm pretty sure is Spongebob. Yes. Yes.

I think that would make a fantastic self portrait. Even better, try incorporating several small Weebils into your current project. Just a few in the pupil of Sauron's eye. You know.

P.S. this blog is kind of like a you-heavy conversation between you and me. Or you and nobody, some times. Just FYI.
