Election hangover : The scruffalo

Actually this is called Election day in the forest.
And by the way, The Scruffalo is an original concept, quite unrelated to other menacing, forest dwelling composite creatures that you may have already seen elsewhere.
Lucy wrote me the script in 3 or 4 texts and I loved it straight away, although I had to research the word 'Wyvern' somewhat.
A Wyvern is apparently either a two legged dragon or a dragon with forearms that are clearly arms and not front legs. So there you have it.
A dragon with no legs is called a Naga and they have big forehead horns, they are fabulous.

In order to get more readers to your Blogspot, you're supposed to keep mentioning things that will attract casual searchers via google 'search keywords' Clearly, i'm rubbish at this 'Search keyword' lark. I never mention 'webcomics' or anything like that in these things.
But I have just used the word Dragon loads so err... Hello dragon enthusiasts! Hello!

Election hangover

Welcome to the election hangover. And it is a hangover! We stayed up all night drinking and awoke the next morning to a scene of devastation. Everyone wondering what an earth they'd done.
All this month myself and comedy writer Lucy Brown will be producing quick fire comics and cartoons about the new regime with regular updates. Starting with a stunning new serial "Vote Busters".
Sorry 'bout that!

Blythe's Election Special!

Well, over here in old timey castle land, also known as Great Britain incorperating Engerland, Welshy, Northern ire, Scotsmanland and Cornwood, we are having a national general election. Someone is going to be big cheese next month who might be marginanly different to the present cheeses. And that is amazing.
To celebrate this doo dah I have created A GAME.

I call it TOPOLITICAL TRUMPS.
You can print off the cards and play trumps like norms, or you can play the following version....

2 Players.
Pick a charecter each.
Decide how many rounds you will play, maybe 4?
Determine the outcome of each round by rolling a die and selecting the corresponding number on the special moves on the card, whoever has the higher number wins that round. As the special moves only go as far as 4, 5 &6 will be misses.
In the event of an equal score, roll again.

Who will win? YOU decide! Just like real life. Actually it's a game of chance. Errr anyway....

Theres a dice gif included below, use it by looking away from the screen, then glancing at the gif. The first number you see is your number!
