Great Aunt Minerva Oakgriddle's pie: Simply to die for.

Minerva Oakgriddle, 3rd eldest in the Witch's Woggle of East Wood, has over three hundred year's experience in malevolent baking. Her pies and dumplings were once legendary throughout the Woggle community.

Unfortunately, seventy years ago she burnt off the tip of her tongue in an ill-advised taste testing, so when you visit, keep your cat handy. A quick forkful under the table when Minerva isn't looking will likely save you hours of agony later on.

  10. Oh man, this piece is wonderful. I love that lady! However, I cannot get on board with using your cat as a food tester. tsk tsk

    But this picture is great. I love how austere she looks. Haha. I can't get over it.

  19. I love this one, Sam... her eyes are so bloodshot and creepy. I'm not sure if that's because she's a witch or just because she's old, but I don't think a distinction needs to be made. What's the difference between "old" and "witch" anyway? Not much. I love the colors.

  20. this makes me want to crawl under a table and hide. not from her. from you. i feel so inadequate, this is just one of the coolest things posts. i mean, dude, even her name and write up are genius. the colors play off one another so well and the shape variations, the roundness of her eyes, the square chin, the triangular nose. brilliant.
