The Infamous Willow Prank: Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four (the end)

Ok, don’t get tired of me just yet, this is almost the end. They haven’t cried and hugged it out yet. So it’s not over.

Has a silk bathrobe

Avowed bachelor

Curious

Extraordinary

Eccentric

Wears a hat of someone else’s choosing

Inconsistent

A sunset lover

Smooth elbows

A man with specific mannerisms

Sleeps diagonally

A perplexment

Rides the carousel

An evening botanist

Classically athletic

Fraternally-minded

Wears a light wristwatch

Gives a careful handshake

Gives too much change for a dollar

A fluent swimmer

A keen-eyed birdwatcher

Fond of his mother

Elegant

Built on an uncertain foundation

Fluttersome

A real jackdaw

Avowed bachelor

A gentleman of the piers

Born with the caul

Limber

An aesthete

In the way of uncles

He throws a party with an open guest list

Son of the moon

A boy from Eton

Always rings twice

Has a silk bathrobe

Not quite up-to-code

He hitchhikes instead of taking the bus

Stays ahead of the game

A skillful mountain climber

Salutes another flag

An upside-down chimney-sweep

The last thing you need is meeting strange men in hotel rooms. You already have enough trouble sticking with one woman, don’t you?

The image was created for @outofsteparts, an amazing arts collective, and is available in the store as a LE (100) Print and a Hand-embellished artist’s print (10). The work is a significant moment in the story I’ve been developing for my comic.

Purchase the print here:

“I’m reluctant at this stage in the game to expose you to new ideas, but having taught you all history on a strictly non-gender-orientated basis I just wonder whether it occurs to any of you how dispiriting this can be? Can you for a moment imagine how depressing it is to teach five centuries of masculine ineptitude.

Why do you think there are no women historians on TV? I’ll tell you why: Because history’s not such a frolic for women as it is for men. Why should it be? They never get around the conference table. In 1919, for instance, they just arranged the flowers, then gracefully retired. History is a commentary on the various and continuing incapabilities of men. What is history? History is women following behind with the bucket.

And I’m not asking you to espouse this point of view, but the occasional nod in its direction can do you no harm.”

Dream team alert: according to the Daily Mail, Kate Winslet and Idris Elba are “in serious negotiations” to star together in a spy thriller titled All The Old Knives, based Olen Steinhauer’s novel.

Set to be directed by Divergent’s Neil Burger, the movie will follow the story of two CIA operatives and former lovers (Henry, still in the Agency, and Celia, who quit and now has a husband and two children), who are forced to look at their past where a fellow agent might have been compromised. Read the book’s synopsis under the cut.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Chapter 8 The Potions Master 

“Snape finished calling the names and looked up at the class. His eyes were black like Hagrid’s, but they had none of Hagrid’s warmth. They were cold and empty and made you think of dark tunnels. “You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potionmaking,” he began. He spoke in barely more than a whisper, but they caught every word – like Professor McGonagall Snape had the gift of keeping a class silent without effort. “As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don’t expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses…. I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death – if you aren’t as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach.”
