Freak Pictionary

This is dedicated to a friend, Katy, who wanted to be in a comic and I then thought of this. Her method of Pictionary is exciting and a little scary.

Ah Pictionary! It’s a favorite game of mine just cause you get to draw. Everyone thinks I’d be amazing at this, but it’s not really about your ability to draw, which makes it all the more fun. It’s about your ability to sense the essence of an object, and then communicate it through pictures tailor-made for your friend. You have to know your friend and the object well enough too. I think it’s a neat game, and I’m admittedly not stellar at it (unless I’m on Shivi’s team… either she’s awesome at guessing or we have telepathy or both), despite egging everyone to play it any time we suggest playing “games.” So… what’s everyone’s favorite game? Other faves of mine include Taboo, Scategories, Gant (Shivi claims it’s of Guyanese origin), Cranium, and the ever impossible Trivial Pursuit. One day, when I’m old, I’ll play Trivial Pursuit against young ‘uns and I’ll know all the answers!
