And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm seeing reports that the lockdown has been lifted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tom's ABC source agrees with you, Jess.

I have an extremely apropos de rien question: if a character is looking everywhere for God and decides to ask animals which animals might make good picture opportunities? This is a sincere question--I've already done elephant. I can't do whale, since someone else aced that ridiculously. I am currently experimenting with tigers, considering birds of prey, large snakes, bison, butterflies (maybe bees--it's a thing)...limitation to the picture being I have to be able to draw it, clearly. So nothing like a jaguarundi which will come off my pen looking like a broken cat or anything. Some good ideas wilt by virtue of the soil in my garden.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

If you want to convey that the character is searching EVERYWHERE, polar bears(Arctic) and penguins(Antarctic).

Seconding gorillas, or maybe chimpanzees?

Octopus?

If they have a shrink-ray, they could ask an amoeba!

I am trying to avoid housepet sized animals, because I am having difficulty blocking those pictures. Owls because it's a bit...hoary? I think. Gorillas are great and breaking my heart and when I come back to Africa YES.

Platypus is perfect except for there's no way platypus. But Australia, for sure. But what??? Maybe just a cave painting?

Koala, of course.

A flock of penguins would a) kill me b) be SO CUTE. But I should hit at least one pole.

I think koalas don't know anything about God, IMO. It's just a hunch, but...airheads!
