Description

Once upon a time, my friend Eileen threw a tea party at her house. Like, a legit, fancy tea party, where everyone dressed up in fancy clothes and drank tea from saucers. To prepare for this party, I made my own monocle by destroying a pair of Harry Potter glasses. It was pretty damn amazing. Ever since that day, I’ve lived my life by a simple motto: Everything is better with a monocle. In today’s strip, I decided to prove this.

This is actually the second version of this particular strip. The first one had things like racoons, chickens, and surly hobos.

I'm sorry, but monocles can't do their magic on tiny clowns. They are just scary, with or without a monocle.

Surly hobos are instantly transformed by a monocle from surly hobos into outlandish eccentrics.  See how that works?

Woah, I'm having a not-so-fancy tea party (tea drunk from mugs) soon - I think I'm going to introduce a dress code. MONOCLE'S COMPULSORY.

My favourite is 'other monocles'. It's like monocle-ception. Or something. Also the Tiny Clown looks awesome, but I do have a soft spot for tiny clowns

I'm very happy now. I've finally seen a METROID AND SANDWICH WITH A MONOCLE!
You're quite lucky to go to a FANCY tea party. If I went to one, I'd probably forget to dress up

AK-Is-Harmless In reply to hooksnfangs [2014-09-17 01:35:45 +0000 UTC]

The last time I drew a Metroid, it had a fancy mustache. This is just the natural progression of things.

We all need at least one fancy tea party in our lives.

I think the poor guy has Monocleneosis.
It can be cured with rest and no eyewear.

Looks great.

I found these lore videos on youtube one of them goes over the lore of zelda in about a minute.
Now I know more about the triforce.

Monocool, monocool, I must use thy power well and not be a fool!

Give me ambition like cold glass so I can kick my enemy's butt.

From the tasteful golden frame, give me power so babies and small dogs I can tame!

I just need your blurry lens, with you I need no friends!

Oysters make me gag so I beseech thee Monocool, give me the power to make eventual heroes drool.

Give me the power to make the world my seafood dinner, when I wear one, I am a winner! 
Monocool, monocool, if this world you wish to rule, let me be your tool!
