Phew! Just finished a Playground page that is twice as long as a usual Playground page!

Recently I actually came up with a mermaid character who will debut in the next Cryptida chapter, thus before the end of this month...

Cleo: "I like how you style your hair! Can you give me any pointers there?"

Your character is at the barbershop. What do they tell the hairdresser they are supposed to do?

I'm using a Mac, thus I'm using Safari most of the time.

This week in Playground...

with Ebenezer Scrooge

Finished the penultimate page of the current Cryptida chapter today!

like a hippie

Cryptida: Cryptids loose and other nonsense!

Playground: Toy company boss on vacation!

@ ProfEtheric:
If you're reading this, I just wanted to say that I sent you a PM regarding the upcoming Cryptida chapter.... :-)

This friggin' cow in the outro of the Sesamstraße (German Sesame Street)!

Also, there was an animated movie I do neither remember title nor plot, but it was probably an anime.
What I remember though is that in the end, the main villain (I think it was an evil witch, of the good looking kind) turned into a skeleton and then crumbled to dust. I think it was even merely shown as a shadow on the wall - but still, it was terrifying as heck!

Cleo would watch an old puppet series called Erwin the Quantum Cat, because... it's educational!

Your character is in an antique store. What would they buy?

I don't know if the few Moms in my comic are necessarily paragons of good parenting, but... here they are!

Firstly, we have Mirabell's Mom Annegret.
I never came around to explore Mira's childhood & adolescence, but I imagine that it was a relatively bumpy ride.



She and her Mom are on relatively good terms though, to the point that she even taught her daughter how to fence!



And then there is Cleo's Mom Ceylan.
(Mostly known for wondering if having her brother Tarik babysit Cleo all the time is really such a good idea...)




Bettina Timmy's Mom Hyacinthia on the other hand was a snobbish woman of the Drake clan.




Last but not least, someone else (Stilldown) came up with a Mom for one of my bit characters: Bernadette Becquerel, mother of Keisha Becquerel.



She appeared in my own comic only once so far.



Any other Moms just got a verbal mention, like Dora Neustadt's Mom (who got tricked by her daughter into thinking she was merely out birdwatching instead of cryptid-hunting), or the Mom of Dexter & Sinistra Duval (who considered her nephew Pierre-Renard to be that black sheep of the family...

To the Monaco royale, if they can afford it. (Which Bettina Timmy for example can.)

Your character gets attacked by robot sharks! What do they do?

Just finished a Cryptida page that I personally think turned out very funny!

- German (I am a native speaker.)
- English (Learned it in school since fifth grade, later honed my skills in university and of course the internet.)
- Un poquito of Spanish (It's my mother's native language.)
- And another little bit of Latin (Also learned that one in school.)

Man, Taily, that sounds like a bizarrely wild ride!! 0.o

(The worst vaccination symptoms I ever had so far was feeling a bit lethargic for half a day...)

Sören would naturally choose a harpoon!

Your character somehow ends up on the Pequod, the ship of the whale-obsessed Captain Ahab. What do they do?

The Adam West series is from the Sixties, so... no-one told Klink that the war has been over for at least 20 years after the fact!!

In the vaccination centre I was on Sunday, there were many Bundeswehr (German army) soldiers doing the work.

I'm still feeling fine, except for a stiff neck - but no clue if that has anything to do with the vaccination, or if I have just been lying wrong.
