Friends--a few of you have (awesomely and stupendously) indicated an interest in contributing some art to the collected H&G compendium that I'll be putting out once our tale is told. Given that we're steaming toward the conclusion, please let me know if you're still interested so we can talk about plans.Thanks!
Another exceptional installment, sir. Coworkers have not appreciated my adding a "pip, pip" to every email today, but what do those philistines know, eh what!

Muchas gracias, Mr. Bowman. Your coworkers are a bunch of schmucks, clearly, and they really should just pay you to go home and draw. Specifically, they should pay you to go home and draw Cheesecalibur. And a purty pitcher for the H&G collection.
AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! WHY did Goodreads not show me this update??????????

I blame the gremlins!
A new Stephen King novel AND a new Sean Giblog (I'm making that a thing) on the SAME DAY?!The gods must be smiling on me... which makes me deeply, deeply suspicious...
>Checks living room floor for pit traps<
It's really awful but I thought it was limited to notifications (likes and comments). I had been wondering when part 10 would be online. That means I could have missed out on so much more (as if missing out on this wasn't bad enough)!!!

In fact, the only reason I haven't e-mailed you my Grimple drawing yet is that I foolishly left my sketchbook at a relative's house and have been too lazy to retrieve it yet. Now you've reminded me, I'm on it like a bonnet writing a sonnet!
Paul wrote: "...Sean Giblog (I'm making that a thing)..."Yes! I'm in!
Also, it would be SO COOL if you contributed art for this!!!
Paul wrote: ">Checks living room floor for pit traps<"
Pfff. As if I'd put it THERE! Give me some credit!
Paul wrote: "Sean wrote: "Friends--a few of you have (awesomely and stupendously) indicated an interest in contributing some art to the collected H&G compendium that I'll be putting out once our tale is told. G..."NICE. Do your thing, Bonnet--I'm excited. This is going to be epic!
(Incidentally, Trish baits her pit traps with pizza; it's sort of her calling card.)
Bonnet???Pizza doesn't work on Paul so I switched to cheesecake. ;)

Trish wrote: "Bonnet???Pizza doesn't work on Paul so I switched to cheesecake. ;)"
Oh, man... Now you're going nuclear!
First time I heard "eejit" was on Supernatural and actually had to google what it meant - and loved the word every since. xDWonderful segment, as usual!
Thanks, Trish! I really appreciate that you crazy kid are hanging in with our heroes every step of the way. :)

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I like your local pub (or the owner ho put that sing there)!

You ain't seen nothin' yet, my friend!

What?! Why would I not??? First, I DO have a greater attention span than a goldfish. Also, I love funny things and fantasy stories and hey - I'm a fan of this author.

Ha! He's a hack, but he appreciates your support. ;)
Nope. Won't accept that. He's not a hack. He's one heck of a writer - maybe you meant that. And he might want to hurry up and publish this beauty so I can throw my hard-earned money at him and teach him even more German proverbs (and maybe even some foul language)!By the way: I chose to take "you crazy kid" as a compliment!

And rest assured that I'll have this available on Amazon very soon after the completion of the tale, which I hope will happen in the next 2-3 months. It'll be worth it for Paul's drawing alone, I have no doubt! :)
(YES for German curse words!)
Just you wait until auntie Trish teaches the Spawn of Sean - then you'll hate me. Bwahahahahaha! But then it will be too late!Here I was, thinking that I had self-esteem issues!
I remember a German exchange student teaching us this one when we were kids:Spoiler hidden as some people may find it offensive... Well, probably most everyone... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
(view spoiler)
Trish will now laugh and tell me it's gibberish...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Oh, I'm laughing alright but not because it's completely wrong or anything. "ihre" has to be without a capital letter unless you address someone in a polite manner and you would probably phrase it a little bit differently but it is correct.
YES! Thank you exchange student from thirty years ago!
Paul wrote: "YES! Thank you exchange student from thirty years ago!"Bwahahahahahahaha! of course, THAT he remembers. *lol*
Great, now Sean will want me to teach him stuff like that too. *sigh*
By the way: AGAIN I didn't get notified about your comments from some 13 hours ago! I'm sharpening my blades and rallying my evil ginger kittens as we speak!
Paul wrote: "Sean wrote: "In English, please?"OK, but remember, folks, you have been warned:

Hahahaha! Genius.
Haha jokes on you. I don't have a sister!But I must say, the fact that your remembered that for all these years is impressive.
Thanks for the new installment Sean!
While they were sliding down I was seeing oubliette and wondering where the 'helping hands' were ;)

Haha! Everyone needs helping hands now and again. ;)

Thanks. My memory is flawless when it comes to retaining entirely useless information like this, yet when it comes to anything useful that I actually need to retain? Not a chance!
Ginger wrote: "While they were sliding down I was seeing oubliette and wondering where the 'helping hands' were..."'Which way do you want to go?'
I bloody love that movie...
*feels left out because OBVIOUSLY has missed another great movie*
Trish wrote: "*feels left out because OBVIOUSLY has missed another great movie*"If you haven't seen 'Labyrinth' you must do so immediately. It's easily in my top ten movies of all time and one of the four movies my brother and I could recite the dialogue of word-for-word. (I wonder if we still could? It's been a while...)
So what is it about (apart from the obvious)? Is it an evil labyrinth? Is it a horror movie?!*tries to find it online*
Is it the one from 1986 with David Bowie?!
Yeeeeesss!I can still quote much of the movie. My sister and I still use the quotes in our every day conversations ;)
I have met Toby as well. He is a sweetheart.
Toby who?! If you're going to day Toby Stevens, I might faint. ;PFound the 1986 movie and will watch it on the weekend.
Lol no Toby in the movie.His name is Toby Froud. His father, Brian Froud, designed all the goblins.
I met Brian too. He is my hero.
Brian Froud's designs are fantastic. I do believe there's an art book featuring them. Absolutely brilliant.
Aaaaand GR deleted this from my notifications ... but this time I was anticipating it, seeing your comments via e-mail notifications - HA!*clears throat*
Ok, different Toby but still very cool. Especially that you now have a signed artbook! Can you post a picture or two from what it looks on the inside?
I will make a note to get some pictures this weekend :)
