Do I have the coolest brother? Look what he sketched for me. Of course, having made its appearance at a family get-together, the poor Strange Man above suffered much ribbing. I mean... He's obviously lost a bit of weight recently, why else would he need to grip onto his pants?
Sorry, one needs to be evil to ones brother at least once a day - 'tis in the contract.
And to be fair, he'd already attacked me. Observe...
Bro: Read one of your stories online... Strange Tooth. Impressed. Reminded me of a Twilight Zone episode.
Me: Wow, you actually read one of my stories. (Jaw flaps open).
Bro: I thought, she's good and then I read another one (shan't mention here to save the story's blushes) about (blah) and (blah).
Mum: Have I read that one?
Bro: Wouldn't bother, Mum. I mean WTF!!!
Still, I'll begrudgingly add, he can draw and I cannot.

Perhaps a joint-venture picture book for children is in your future? Something along the lines of "We'll Take Care of Your Nightmares"?
My brother told me once that one of my stories bordered on pornography. Because the guy had feathered wings and the woman wanted to see what they felt like. My brother was very concerned that I'd besmirch the family name.
But then again, he can also draw and I cannot. ;)

We are the bringer of nightmares, Milo. :D
Ha! I hope you didn't feed him poisonous flowers, Mercedes.
Got my copy of 'Strange Men' today, Cate- two stories in and loving it already. That is all.
You know, "besmirch" has to be one of my favourite words. :)
Ha! Sounds like my brother.
Thanks for buying it, Simon. :D
I heartily agree, Ian.
I think they all pop out of the same mould, Andrea ;)
Ha, brothers are a double-edged sword! One minute they draw you a nifty man in a pin-striped suit, the next minute they harsh on one of your stories.
Poor story! WTF indeed.
Hahaha! Oh, Cate, that sounds like MY family! I'm so glad to know I'm not alone :D
