Hi Mark,

The Crocodile And The Ant story is really amazing. Kids would love it.

We work with children in adversity, giving them access to magical storybooks to help them connect with the world. Our storybooks print on a single sheet of paper. We would love to collaborate with you and publish this story as one of our tiny little books.

It will be great to hear from you! You can reach me out at s​wastika@wallobooks.org

​Keep writing! Keep inspiring,

Regards,

Swastika​.

Names - If a Shoemaker marries a Cobbler, they should only change their name if the Cobbler likes eating fruit pie.

Talking To Myself - If someone catches you speaking to yourself, saying “Don’t worry I’m just old” will be better received than “Don’t worry I’m just crazy”.

The Crocodile And The Ant - Now Jude The Animal Expert Dude, did you actually see all of that or did you make that story up?

Talking to yourself has been shown to be a highly effective technique for problem solving.

Just sayin’. 😉

What a wonderful tale, Mark! I always enjoy your funnies and stories! Alas, I still can’t afford anything at the moment, but when I can, I’ll upgrade to paid!

Loved all of this post, great cartoon. Best line about the ant "He walked and walked and walked for hours. One hundred feet later, he still hadn’t found any other ants."
