Cover This Cover!
Did you notice that the
cover of this issue is a little
plain? A bit, shall we say,
boring? Here’s where you
come in: please cover the
front and back covers with
your own drawings,
doodles, musings, and
more. Just this once, we’ve
left off the cover’s glossy
coating, so many types of
writing utensils will work.
Doodle as long as you like.
Then take a photo of your
marked-up cover and send
us the pic. We’ll publish our
favorites in a future issue.

The March 2017 issue revealed a little-known fact:
the HPBs (hot pink bunnies) live in hive-like
communities. We asked readers to create
diagrams of the HPB hive. What does it look like?
How does it work? Readers delivered a deluge of
delightful diagrams! We enjoyed each entry, and
we’re sure that these winners have inside info
about the HPB hive.
