I love this picture of the Creature. What a goofball.

I was thinking of doing a Black Friday sale but then I was thanksgivinging and I forgot. But! If you find my writing valuable, I can really use your support; the end of the year is always kind of brutal for freelancers as old clients dump me and new ones…don’t exactly pick me up. It’s $5/month, $50/yr. Or you can tip me through paypal!
