#oedraw

The final #OEDraw at long last! I had a great time playing around and stretching some creative muscle with this project. The OED threw some curveballs (or JUNKBALLS) at me, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I definitely may come back to this idea in the future. Thanks for following along! But for now…

This #OEDraw combines two of my favorite things: Harry Potter and Shakespeare! Since Robbie Coltrane played both Hagrid and Falstaff they get to be drinking buddies. Mistress Quickly is not amused (granted from a different version of Henry IV/V but it’s Julie Walters, so HP).

#OEDraw from 9/19:

PLANET X: (n.) A hypothetical undiscovered planet in the solar system, whose supposed orbit lies beyond that of the outermost planet known. (it also originally referred to the planet past Neptune, which ended up being Pluto so they had to push the “furthest out” part a bit further out)
