Zombees (again)

Last week, I posted about the zombee apocalypse.  One J.R. McHackingstuff pointed out that I neglected to provide any illustrations of zombees.  Unforunately, that was true.  I was completely remiss in my duties to provide something so ridiculous as an illustration of a zombee.  So I got to work on that.

The problem is…I don’t really know how to draw a zombee.  If you take a look at my drawings of bees, they already push the boundaries of looking like bees.  I mean, three legs?  Such short antennae?  Really?  So, I present you my best effort on a zombee.  It…unfortunately, probably does not look much like a zombee.  I am saddened.

Incidentally, I found some more random bees in my yard at night that looked like they were in the process of keeling over.  I didn’t collect them for observation though.  I really should get on that.

 

 

The trees of fish

I was recently informed that certain trees smell like fish when they are in bloom.  Unfortunately, I never wrote down what tree is supposed to smell like fish and I’m too lazy to ask again.  My imagination provided me with ample information.  Actually, I imagined this even before the person told me what kind of tree they were smelling.  And then they told me what the tree was and I was disappointed.  Or at least, I remember being disappointed when I was told what the tree was.  I also remember thinking that the tree doesn’t smell like fish at all.  Too bad I can’t remember what the tree actually was.  Anyway, the tree my imagination was much better.  So behold!  I present you the weeping willow dead tree fish!

I just figure that the tree smells like dead fish.  Live fish don’t normally smell like anything.  (Never buy a fish from the market if it smells fishy; it’s gone bad.)  The blossoms must look like dead fish.  Actually, I think it’s the fruit that looks like dead fish.  It must be a stinky tree.  The tree is probably sad that it has to stink.  So it weeps.  The only trees that weep are weeping willows.  So there you go, a weeping willow dead fish tree.  Tada!
