Mrs. Malaprop's Affliction

MalapropThis whole humor-malaprop thing is over. Phew! As I mentioned previously, "my brain found this exercise really really-really, reallyreally, really—really—really really, really difficult. Really." I would add to that two things: really and really.

But, as with challenges, I learned lots. Like, Malapropism is a real word? And, Even if I had health insurance, treatment for it is non-reimbursable.

To recap:

Mrs. Malaprop's Affliction: Part I - misuse a word (on porpoise)
Mrs. Malaprop's Affliction: Part II - substitute a wrong word and liven up the sentence
Mrs. Malaprop's Affliction: Part III - use the right word but the wrong definition

Blogosphere, what do you think about my tries?

“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!

Illustration Friday: Hide

Image
Maurice’s cunning helped him evade that hungry field sparrow, and in doing so he discovered something new: his special affinity for flowers. He decided to go for it. He attained his Master’s Degree in floral arrangement from Chicago School of Flower Design. Today Maurice owns and manages a successful retail floral operation behind the shed there, to the left of the plastic green leprechaun. This is my drawing for the Illustration Friday ( IF website ) assignment, this time to illustrate "Hide". Click it for a bigger version.
