One Sketch 206) #inktober2018 prompt 17 Swollen

Telosians have funny old heads

Or so it is quite often said

So large and so lumpy

I bet they get grumpy

When lifting them up from their beds.

Swollen made me think of swollen heads, which made me think of the Telosians from Star Trek's original pilot (subsequently used in Season 1's The Menagerie) . "Wrong thinking will be punished!" They don't make 'em like that any more.

One Sketch 205) (Tuesday 16th) #inktober2018 Prompt 16 Angular

Ah, Dizzy, now there was a guy
Who often did things on the sly
A devious sort
Or so it is thought
But then he was gone, and bye bye.

OK - so what do you do with angular, I thought? Which immediately led me to think of pyramids, as you do. Which led me to think of one of my favourite Victorian political cartoons, by one of my favourite Victorian political cartoonists, Sir John Tenniel. He's my absolute joint favourite along with the wonderful American, Thomas Nast. This is almost a direct copy, although I did stick an extra pyramid in which isn't in the original.
