Yes, Dennis. What DO you mean?

Just finished taking the photos for episode 14. You won't believe how easy the photos for episode 15 are ;-)

Up until now all the characters have been called by their professions. But it just seemed right to give the Illusionist a name.

Sometimes the 'simple' pages take the most work to get right. I played and played with angles until I had the Mage 'react' to the Illusionist. Now sure any emotion is actually conveyed, since Playmobil smile happily through it all, but I had fun.

Getting two Playmobil to kiss just took a little blutac. Oddly enough, when I tried that with my wife it didn't work so well.

Ah, anchovies.

My favourite pizza to make at the moment is a potato and anchovy pizza. It sounds weird, but is really tasty. You slice the potato really thin and lay the slices out on the pizza base (we use a store bought Turkish flat bread, but any base will do) so they just overlap and cover the base. Some rosemary and black pepper over the top, a trickle of good olive oil, and a few anchovies laid out on top. Finally some shavings of Parmesan cheese and it's ready to go into the oven.

The saltiness of the anchovies and the crispy potatoes really work together.

As an added bonus it is highly unlikely anyone else will want a piece.

Mmmmmm.
