It’s currently snowing “all of the sudden” in Chapel Hill btw, and the forecast said nothing 🤣

Unruly Card Games - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Hannah and Gustopher are playing card games on a rainy day. Hannah notices that Gustopher seems to have made a play that he's not supposed to. Hannah is quick to correct this. Hannah: You can't do that. Gustopher: Why? Hannah: It's against the rules. Gustopher: It is? Panel 2 Hannah rolls her eyes and pulls out her phone. Looks like they're going to have to look up the rules and make sure they're both playing the same way. Hannah: Ugh! Let's both read through the rules so we're on the same page. Gustopher: Okay. Panel 3 Hannah is staring at her phone and is not really sure what she's reading. What is a Redoubled Contract? Isn't a Grand Slam something you get at restaurants? Why does it say they need four players? Panel 4 Hannah is starting to put the pieces together. Hannah: I don't think either of us are playing right. Gustopher: I don't know what half these words mean. Seriously! What's a "Dummy Hand" and an "Unfinished Rubber".

Costume Inspiration - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher and Douglas are meeting up to go Trick-or-Treating. Gustopher sees that Douglas has decided to go as the classic ghost for Halloween. Various spooky things are happening in a house in the background. There are two mysterious figures on the second floor with a spider above them. And demonic entity also appears to have a plate full of eyeballs as a bat watches from above. I hear they're full of protein. Gustopher: DOUGLAS! Great costume! Douglas: Thanks. Panel 2 Douglas poses in his costume. It's just a simple sheet with eye and arm holes cut out but it's effective. I'd give it four out of five rocks. Douglas explains his inspiration for the costume. Douglas: I decided to be a ghost. It represents my fear of never truly being seen and my hope to be remembered. Panel 3 Gustopher stands in his own costume. He is wearing the same taco costume he wore last year. He begins to contemplate his inspiration for such a costume. Thankfully, the house behind him does not have anything too spooky in it. Just a cat looking at what's going on outside. Panel 4 Gustopher carefully chooses his words and explains his inspiration for his fine taco costume. Gustopher: I'm a taco because I like tacos. The cat in the window appears to be doing something. Smiling? And shadowy tendrils are erupting beneath the cat. Okay, I'm sorry. This is too spooky. The eyeballs were bad enough. I'm leaving.

Very rough thumbnail sketch in pencil of the hadrosaur, Ahshiselsaurus. Like it's relative, Kritosaurus, it has a pronounced 'Roman nose' of a nasal ridge but an otherwise plain head.
It's Thingummy. The new one that sounds like shushing.
I suppose one kritosaurine looks much like another...
