This beetle’s family are worried that he may not make it to the emergency department in time – and let’s face it, they have valid cause for concern, even though the Ambosnail is trying his level best. But will his best be good enough? Tune in next week for another episode of Inverterbrate Casualty…
I did this for my 7 year old, because she made up the joke – not a bad punchline, huh?

This is amazing, and adorable!
There’s nothing quite like the jokes a 7-year-old makes up, are there?

Except the jokes a 3 year old makes! They can get very surreal… Your work is lovely,Stephanie.

Hehehe. I could try all day for a silly joke and not get one this funny. You’ve got a great style, so solid that it makes an idea like this pop even more.

Both the illustration and the joke are outrageously good! What a team.

That’s not too bad at all–to the jokester AND the artist. I love the melodramatic pose of poor beetle. Hope she makes it.
