piñata day

Beagle and Blackie will be back next week. I have been busy piñata-ing (building, decorating, stuffing, documenting).

I found this amazing alligator piñata on Oh Happy Day. I decided to give it a crack for a friend's 30th. She requested a cow. I went a bit abstract.



This big gal was HEAVY. She easily fit a few dozen nips and a couple bags of candy, with room to spare. 

During construction, I was worried she wouldn't be able to handle the weight and the beating, so I doubled up on the cardboard and tape. I might have gone overboard.


Jean (I named her), before the beating:

Jean, after being beat on for about 10 minutes (granted, my friend was still wearing a blindfold at the time). Here she takes her second beating:

In the end, Scott found a large stick and poor Jean was basically skewered. Here are her remains, left in a Common trashcan:

  Bye Jean.

Please check back next week for more Beagle and Blackie comic!
