Blatant cross promotion. The Squid meets the experiment from Experiment 665. I feel this is as good a time as any to mention that the Squid actually does have a name. He’s called Pen. ...
…and he’s sharing it with a hippopotamus. I loved this book as a child. It was only when I went back while looking for references to draw the hippo that I realised it was part of a series. Squid comment: What a pleasant fellow. And such delicious cake! Don’t ask ...
I finished what I was making here, just in time to be nice and warm for… summer? ...
I seem to have negative buffer, so have me with my sweet little woolen squid, Squiddy, instead. ...

The Squid and Octopus face off, Harry Potter style. Squid comment: I don’t have much to say about Harry Potter. I enjoyed the first book, when I was younger, but I didn’t like the later books so much. They do make quite good children’s books. ...
The Squid investigates Michael Grant’s book and series, Gone. Squid comment: Very nice series, despite everything trying to kill me all the time. Even normally inoffensive animals! ...
