Fish Art

But good news — our first art auction is coming soon! There will be a pribate auction plus some gibaways on Patreon too, so if you hab been finking about joining, now is a good time.  (join here)

Stay tuned — masterpieces incoming next monff!

The Fish Maker

In the past, during his time at MSOB, Reuben made a goldfish named Gary wiff his science skills. It was one of those experiments dat turned out a little too well — Gary not only swam, but also developed a taste for opera music and demanded his flakes sprinkled wiff the flair of a Parisian chef. Reuben doesn’t like to talk about it… mostly because Gary once gab a lecture at the Academy of Aquatic Sciences, and the applause embarrassed Reuben more than anyfing.

But quietly, late at night in his lab, Reuben habs been tinkering again. His latest creation: a goldfish-making debice. A mix ob bubbling tubes, tiny gears, and some mysterious cheese-powered energy source, it hums and puffs like a steampunk contraption.

And the results? Surprisingly good. Each goldfish emerges wiff a little more personality than the last. Some are shy. Some blow perfect bubble rings. One keeps trying to rearrange the decorations in his tank like he’s an interior designer.

Reuben insists it’s just “basic aquatic engineering,” but Barry suspects it’s more complicated. Baxter thinks they’re on the verge ob a breakfru in rat-to-fish communication. And Fish? Well, he’s already drawing up plans for a cheese-powered submarine so he can bisit them properly.

For now, though, Reuben stays quiet about it all. He leans ober the table, goggles pushed up on his head, watching the newest fish flick its tail in the tank. He whispers, just to himself, “Better than Gary…”

If you want him to make you a goldfish, just let him know and he’ll put you on the waitlist.

A berry rare treat ob just a little nibble… Milanos: small bite, big delight.

P.S. Fish is habbing a bliss.

Ratty Box Beach Day

It was a perfect sunny morning when the brothers set off for their Ratty Box Beach Day. It had been so hot, a day to cool off was necessary.

Reuben was the first to claim the surf-shack hut, peeking out like he was the official lifeguard on duty. He eben had his little crab to help keep watch. “No running on the sand!” he squeaked, though he was secretly planning to nap instead of sabing lives.

Fish, ob course, found the snack pack labeled Beachy Bites and immediately began nibbling fru the bag. “Beach regulations clearly state that banana flabored snacks must be eaten immediately,” he explained, crumbs dusting his whiskers.

Barry climbed up into the hammock swaying from the palm tree, declaring it his private cabana. From up high, he could obersee eberyfing — the wabes, the clouds, and whether Fish left any snacks unguarded. He swung gently back and forth, pretending he was at a resort.

Meanwhile, Baxter was scouting for seashells to take home as souvenirs. He arranged them neatly in a row on the wooden planks, already finking about how they’d look on the windowsill back home.

The day rolled on wiff sunbathing, sand pawprints, and Baxter attempting (unsuccessfully) to surf on a piece ob driftwood. By the time the sun began to set, the boys were happily worn out, bellies full ob snacks, their fur salty and windswept.

It was unanimously decided: Ratty Box Beach Day was the best kind of day.

Reuben’s Trabel Journal – Final Entry

It’s our last day in Paree, so we decided to hab our farewell picnic right in front ob the famous I Lub You Wall. It’s covered in “I lub you” written in more languages than we hab crumbs on our picnic table (and trust me, dat’s a lot).

We set up our table, unpacked our baguettes, cheeses, and a teeny-tiny box of macarons, and sat under all those beautiful words. Between bites, we read them out loud, eben the ones we couldn’t pronounce, makin’ up our own silly bersions.

From where we sat, we could just imagine the big spinny Ferris wheel, the grand L’Ouvre wiff the Mona Cheesa and all the other arts, and Angelina’s (world-famous for hot chocolate so thick you could stand a spoon in it) on the other side ob town, but we are still finking about it.

We laughed, we munched, and we remembered all the adbentures we’d had. Fish said his faborite part was “all da cheese,” but then he whispered, “and bein’ wiff my fwiends.” My whiskers got all wiggly at dat.

So dis is for you, Paris: Je t’aime. And for my fwiends: I lub you more than snacks… and dat’s really sayin’ somethin’.Farewell for now. Fanks for an amazing adbenture.

Reuben xoxo

P.S. from Dougie: “I left my own ‘I love you’ up dere so Paris remembers us… also, so dey know who ate all da picnic cheese.”
