| The Personal Porter and Transport Robot was introduced at about the same time as the wheeled suitcase and became obsolete almost immediately. |

| The impressive firefighting robot was one of Lady Bonquers' more successful creations. |
This was the cover page and the original title for my Field Guide to Monsters whence it was merely an unsolicited query letter.
A few pictures from my recent lecture at the famed academic institution PS9 in Brooklyn. Photos by the eminent Kirsten Cole
The first image is of me in front of the rapt audience.
The second shows me securing the perimeters of the lecture hall. There was a tense moment as my alien detector suddenly indicated the presence of something/someone extraterrestrial. It was a false positive.
Saw this near foot-end of my bed, no biting or scratching occurred, assume it is benevolent but I have not identified it yet.

On a different note, I received this intriguing field study of a dangeruous beast called the Mandblob from Dr Ben, a very young but gifted monstrologist .
As a monstrologist my expertise is called upon from many different walks of life, for instance, I helped write a fascinating article about monstrous dental hygiene in the Finnish "dental" magazine "Kultahammas". The whole magazine can be found here but the image above is the spread where the story appeared, I'm afraid it's only available in Finnish but the gist of it is that some monsters suffer from tooth decay and poor dental hygiene.


Thank you Cole and Pamela (his mom)! Keep up the good work!
