Made of 3mm basswood, painted and assembled by me.

I promised myself if I survived the COVID days (both physically and mentally) I’d get a Douglas Adams tattoo of ‘DON’T PANIC’. There is of course ‘42’ - my current age and answer to life, the universe and everything.

Finally, I remembered the malfunctioning electric monk atop a bored horse (believes things for you - this one believes itself, the horse and the valley before it are the same shade of pale pink) to keep in my mind that things are neither black nor white nor the same shade of pink. Fight, flight, freeze.
The monk is frozen from action since it currently believes everything is the same shade of pale pink - so he can’t see (anything but pink).

You’ll notice the horse has some Jericho from Bobs Burgers qualities… at the last second we thought the horse should have bangs and cartoon eyes.

I received this image from a friend in the UK just after I'd mentioned Douglas' passing to him.

I remember getting the paperbacks in the early 80's*. And totally remember when Life. the universe & Everything and So Long came out. And grabbed as soon as they were paperbacks. I was a teen so Hardcover was out of the question. You know videogames, records and comics

Used some Amazon credit for the Kindle version.

*My phone older sister and I watched the show on our local PBS.
