Once upon a time, Lisa and Adrienne worked for the same alternative newsweekly. Now, both spend their respective lives mining their creative souls and leading hermit-like lives. And so an idea was hatched. Every week, one would send the other a sketch—either in illustration or word form—and the other would make a companion to the sketch. The result would be posted on both their blogs every week, just for grins. Even if the result isn't award-worthy, the exercise makes both minds more nimble. Hopefully.

This card. Dolphin of Doom? This is very bad card. Bad. Swami say nothing good about this card. Dolphin tell Swami the debt ceiling rains down in shower of plaster. U.S. downgraded to junk bond status. Congressman Boner gets into fist fight with black man on live tv. Swami go back to native Turkmenistan, where criminals honest.

You? You pay Swami in gold. 

No gold? 

Then you be Swami’s monkey boy who dance for tourists. 

Hey. 

Wait. 

That’s not Dolphin. Just jelly stain. Boysenberry.
