Some picnic today!

You never know who you're going to bump into at this Scribble Picnic! Keep on your toes though because some of your favourite fiction characters may take you by surprise, like Mr. Toad here. Looks like he's planning some wild ride somewhere. Plane? Car? Scooter? Who knows, but don't give him any cockamamie ideas!

...Um, why's Toad pointing back to Toad Hall and who is that lady he's talking to (or is he chatting her up?)  between rather curiously long sips of that delicious brew?!

"I say, fancy watching the good old girl for a fortnight or so? Glorious stirring sites on the horizon and all that, waiting to be discovered. What's that? Oh, no, no, no... those beastly weasels shouldn't be any problem at all. They are...well, err...quite funny really — scurrilous little things. Ratty will pop in now and then and have a look in on you, no worries..."

Oh, incorrigible Toad! "You promised not to get up to any silly antics now. Remember?!"

"Err...Sorry, Madam, pressing matters.... Poop-poop, must dash!"

"Mr. Toad! Come back here, at once!"

Yes, sorry, folks, I'll be right back — do hope your guests aren't quite as... rousing, shall we say? Oh, and do please sign the guest registrar whilst at it. Thank you!

Come here often? About our Next "Famous" Picnic...

What did Dorothy say to Elizabeth Bennett when Paddington Bear came stumbling in, marmalade spilt all down his freshly laundered coat? "Well, I never, it must be Scribble Picnic!"

That's right, our next art meetup for this coming Wednesday, Jan 10th, is all about presenting your favourite person (or creature) from fiction. It doesn't have to be a literary character — s/he could just as well come from the movies, a TV show, or even comics. You tell us, and please share why you chose this particular hero/heroine/antihero/nemesis or what have you. Thank you! Can't wait to see who you bring along. Won't it be the most thrilling picnic? I mean, I've always wanted to ask Sherlock about Dr. Who, for example. :)

A world full of possible candidates are just waiting to be invited. Check them out! Better make sure our snack offering is also worthy of such appeal. Yes, this IS going to be fun! :) If you haven't joined us in a while or want to jump in for the first time, the start of a new year is as good a time as any. Oh, and if you think of it, perhaps you'd even consider what your character might say noodling with the rest of us? I can see it now... The Pink Panther to Dorothy: "Um, heh, any pink diamonds in that emerald city of yours?"
