If you’re having a tough day, watch this

Did anyone else watch “Oswald the Octopus” growing up? I vaguely do, but I am quite sure I was out of the target age range for watching. How do I know this? Because I found it weird that you’ve got a talking, walking, octopus, but the dog can’t talk? It makes no sense!

Anyway, back on to sensible matters, here’s a video of Oswald growing a giant banana and gifting chunks of it around the community. Just, don’t question the physics of a banana frisbee, or a snowman in central park.

It’s videos like this that make my boyfriend question what children’s television writers are on half the time they do their job.

Still, it’s a relaxing watch, I think.

Writer’s Cartoon of the Week – “The Editor”

Full credit goes to Pia Guerra and Ian Boothby for this cartoon (lifted from The New Yorker Magazine’s Instagram account) that I know many writers will relate to.

In my case, my “editor” tends to be my boyfriend, and he is a rubbish one. He lets me ramble, resulting in me digging a massive hole for myself and revealing myself to be the utter muppet I am (probably why he lets me do it!)
