I really wanted to expand on the intervention fiasco but ultimately it wasn’t a focus point and the upcoming “Origin of Tanked” arc is already a 25 page and counting behemoth so shortened it was.  It probably would have just devolved to a couple of pages of Tanked cramming random small animals into his mouth which would have been fun to draw… I thinking eating a squirrel whole is probably a choking hazard though.

So an update on the parasites:  we had our first appointment with a high risk specialist and another ultrasound yesterday.  No membrane found so definitely still monoamniotic twins.  Fortunately there wasn’t any obvious cord tangling or a significant size difference.  There was however an unfortunate abundance of penises for someone who kinda wanted a girl.  Jim likes to say there’s “a sausage fest” in my belly, or his other line is “No tangles but lots of dangles!”  At least someone’s having fun with this.  It’s funny because beforehand I wasn’t really concerned either way and since we’re used to boys and have all boy clothes and toys I thought it wouldn’t matter.  It’s the absolutes that get you though.  I was staring at the tiny wenis on the screen and realized I’ll never have a girl.  Hopefully I get lots of nieces someday so I can buy little dresses. I told Jim in the meantime I’d just spend that money on girly clothes for me… if my chest ever goes back to the way it was of course.

So Jim gets his way again.  He hates boy bands and musicals and Britney Spears and has an irrational fear of date rape and finds teenage girls terrifying in a screechy, emotional way.  I try to tell him that’s not always the case, I for instance was a really easy going teenage girl to raise, as were my friends.  Little boys on the other hand tend to be loud, hitting, mess makers which he doesn’t see as a problem.  His family of three boys always communicated by yelling and punching (with occasional games of “Let’s throw rocks at each other!”) so he doesn’t generally get my concern.  I predict my sanity will be more than half way gone by this time next year.  Perhaps that will be a good thing for Bear Nuts :)

Evil’s been a little upstaged lately which doesn’t seem right so here’s a commission sketch of my a-hole bear at it again.
