MONSTER MONTH: Day 19 – The Caped Wonder

That’s “Wonder” as in “I wonder what that thing could possibly be?”

Well, whatever it is, it sure is red, it looks a little ornery, and it’s wearing a blue cape. All I can say is that you go say “hi” first.

I don't care if he's friend or foe - he just looks like a good guy to have around when you need a can opener.

MONSTER MONTH: Day 18 – I Scream You Scream…

…we ALL scream about how this monster got his ice cream!

Well, the Good Humor man has had better days than this. Lesson learned – don’t get in the way of a monster and his ice cream! Well, that and it’s probably a good idea to finish college so you can get a desk job.

By the way you kiddies - the ice cream man is just taking a nap in some melted strawberry ice cream. Shhhh. Don't wake him.

MONSTER MONTH: Day 17 – Goat Guy

Today’s monster comes in the form of a creepy, elderly, wizened goat guy. Anytime you see some squinty eyes and a Fu Manchu dangling from a dude’s chin, pay close attention to whatever comes out of his mouth. Those are sure outward signs that he is full of wisdom. And if he has a cool looking cane, also show some respect lest he rap you on the head with it.

You'd think with all that wisdom that he would have taken better care of his teeth.

MONSTER MONTH: Day 16 – The Orthodontist

You know, whether scaring or eating little children, most monsters use their teeth quite often. And whether it’s a crooked snarl, or just a bad overbite, the sensible monster realizes he really needs to take care of his pearly whites. After all, one must think of the children in such situations – this is all for them.

When a gurgling, belching beast has need of such care, he turns to the trusty ORTHODONTIST. To take on a job such as this, the medical professional needs to be a person of quiet temperament and not easily intimidated. Their skill with odd-shaped teeth and the ability to withstand unfathomable stench is paramount. And they need to make sure the patient is well-stocked with the proper insurance.

This patient is the easy one. The last one had two heads and an attitude.

MONSTER MONTH: Day 15 – The Pirate Beast

Aaaarrrr maties! What if the scourge of man were to be combined with the scourge of the beastie world? No, – I’m not speaking of lawyers, though you are close. I speak of THE PIRATE BEAST!

One might be hesitant to cross paths with such a creature. He can be mean, ornery and just a little stinky. (Again, any comparisons to lawyers are entirely yours to make.) Just beware of the blade, teeth, and hook of his furry wrath!

Sure, he looks mean, but if you can manage to get your hand under his hook arm, you'll find he's quite ticklish!

MONSTER MONTH: Day 14 – The Hopeless Romantic

Underneath that tough shell lies the heart of the HOPELESS ROMANTIC. Hey, you’re nobody ’til somebody loves you, right? EVERYBODY loves somebody sometime. And hey, when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie – well, you know. (Apparently love is just a string of Dean Martin songs.)

SWD (single white dragon) seeks mate. Enjoys long walks through villagers, breathing fire, and wreaking havoc.

MONSTER MONTH: Day 13 – The Noble Steed

Every brave creature that ever rode into battle in tales of the fantastic did so on the back of an even more brave creature known as the NOBLE STEED.

This beast of burden knows his duty is to selflessly carry his master into the storm of ferocity in order to achieve the goal for the greater good. He knows not of the political differences that brought them to this place of conflict. He knows only of the fact that his master has need of the steed’s unique abilities.

So, with blind devotion, he does what is required without any expectation of being written of fondly in the pages of history, er – fantasy.

All I can say is that since there are no other "troops" in flight with him, I hope that he is actually flying in the proper direction.

MONSTER MONTH: Day 12 – Frankenstein’s Monster

What MONSTER MONTH could be complete without at least one inclusion of Dr. Frankenstein’s monster? Despite having deeply explored this character in my “Frankenlisa” painting from several months ago (CLICK HERE if you missed it!), once in awhile he keeps rearing his strange flat head amongst my sketches. Here’s a doodle of him created in ink right from the pages of my sketchbook!

Try as he may, Frankie just isn't coordinated enough for "Thriller."
