Three reasons things are TOTALLY NOT GREAT, by Rufus Rumble
1. We've crashed on a planet that has NO waffles.
2. The aliens who live here want to lock us up.
3. My only chance of survival is to hike up a fang-shaped mountain that's rumoured to SWALLOW people
Chances I'll be eaten by a fang-shaped mountain HIGH.
Chances I'll have some HAIR-RAISING adventures before I'm eaten by a fang-shaped mountain ALSO HIGH.
Just don't let the government know I recorded all those HAIR-RAISING adventures in my journal ... Because they'll DEFINITELY ban it!

She lives in South Australia, on Kaurna land. When she's not drawing, she spends her time hitting her friends (otherwise known as playing roller derby) and chasing a small, adorable but highly mischievous pixie (otherwise known as parenting a toddler).
