It is surprisingly tricky to draw a happy Platypus – I think they just look much more natural when grumpy!

Is duct tape, as you should know really. Especially when produced by giant mystical duckgods.  And yes, before you ask, I originally had a MUCH more involved idea for getting to this stage, involving mysterious tribes, masks and unmaskings, the origin story of the common platypus, the return of the pirate aliens etc. Aren’t you glad I pared it down?

Oh and ALSO I have discovered that there is a brand of duct tape actually called Duck Tape, all officially!!

Sooo let’s pretend I hadn’t forgotten to finish this story, and see if I can get it finished in 3 pictures or so. ^_^

 

Uh oh.

This is how doctoring works right

So in case anyone was wondering what happened to the Reading Fish from the earlier storyline, it graduated from Rhinoschool and became a doctor. Obviously.

Seems Emily has an idea… and the platypus is having to get used to three-legged swimming.
