HITLER SKUNK
They used to give these out as carnival prizes during the BIG WAR. I’m not talking about wimpy baby wars like Vietnam or Iraq. I’m talking about THE BIG WAR—the Great Skunk War that took place in the Dingle Dongle Forest next to the Bumbleberry Waterfall! We lost a lot of good men in that one. This is a tribute to them.

PRO WHITE
I use this to cover up all the mistakes I make when I’m drawing.

COMIC WRITING TOOL
This was made for me by this guy Tim Biskup. If I’m stuck for an idea I just give it a roll and it tells me what I should do.

IVA SALIVA
FACT: Straight men love to have candy vomited into their mouth by a bodiless pus-drooler. Take note, ladies.

SLOP BUCKET
This is where I rinse off my brushes. I keep it by my drawing table. My cat found it and used to drink all the dirty ink water out of it, so I started dumping it out.

KNIT CAKE
This is my Battenberg-cake pin cushion that I recently knitted. It’s my life’s ambition to knit the perfect Battenberg cake. When I get bored I do doughnuts.

MUG OF TOOLS
I’m not a Royalist. I just thought this was quite an unusual coronation mug. I like to keep tweezers close at hand. Sometimes a girl’s eyebrows can get wildly out of control. |

MOUNTIE TIN
Every girl should have a man in uniform and a big black stud to keep her company while slaving away over a hot drawing board. I keep my erasers in this tin. |

|
INK POT
My ink pot is weighted down with a magnet because I used to wallop it across my desk all the time. One time I splattered the floor, wall, and ceiling with ink. I’m a clumsy oaf. |

OLD COMICS
When I was growing up, my nana worked in a newsagent’s and used to always bring me home comics and annuals. She was a kleptomaniac. I keep a collection of old copies because they’re good for stealing ideas from.
