A gray background scattered with cheerful little skulls in black, yellow and blue features large floating yellow eyeballs gazing into a blue circle. The text reads, "Season One, Episode Two. Tik, Tok: Time for Long Pig." Beneath the text is a nicely engraved fork, and the Good Morning Evildoers logo is in the upper left corner.

A figure stands in a dark alley holding a pile of books talking to a police officer who is making notes in a small book. β€œIt all happened so fast, officer! One minute I was walking down this alley and the next, I'd been loaned four novels and a cookbook!”

Bonnie is the sweetest nibbling hoofcat. When you scratch behind her ears she just blisses out and slowly leeeeeans into you.

You have to take care of yourself in order to have anything to spare for others. Do not feel guilty, if you can. You are investing in the ability to help later.
