Watch your back, Kool-Aid Man! There’s a new anthropomorphized, wall-smashing creature on the block. And he’s more substantial because he’s made of meat and bones, not liquid and glass, you juice-adjacent aberration! You saccharine homunculus!

(Surprise Dinosaur is bustin’ into bookstores April 1)

I got an email this morning from Donors Choose with the promo code BMH to double donations to projects like this. Looks like it worked!
