After a year and a half, finally, a brand new strip. It’s good to be back.

Grasshoppers gently passed
a dumpling in the grass
who did not wake to any sound
and only lied there on the ground.

A bee then landed on his head
and wondered whether he was dead
but though he stayed there on the ground
he did once snore and turned around.

The dumpling was just really tired
from finding people who would hire,
and ’cause a job has not been found
he stays sleeping on the ground.

The first Steam Basket strip is still my favorite, and it just makes sense to start the new site with the same. And yes, I will be reproducing a bunch of the old strips in this new style. Some will be near exact copies, others will just echo a similar idea, but all of them, surely, will kick ass.
