Breakfast was quack-tastrophic when Goofy flung a pancake onto Donald’s face… not once, not twice, but three times!
Donald went from irate, to seething, to full-on livid!

Someone hand this duck a napkin… or maybe a therapist!

If you can say "a" or add an "s", it’s probably countable!

Today’s Monday Muse is brought to you by A.A. Milne and a bear with a bit of a body crisis — too much anxiety, not "slim" enough, and a bottomless pit of self-doubt.
It’s humorous, and (un-fur-tunately) pretty darn relatable too, especially in a world so obsessed with image.
Stay tuned for part 2, where we continue the tale of this image-conscious bear.

Just follow the sticky-sweet trail of honey through the Hundred Acre Wood! :P
