Day 11, “Disgusting”. Relative wealth (world's richest person, against world median wealth).
Every now and then I forget which of my many black inks are waterproof 🤦♂️ For this picture, I found statistics on the median (average) wealth of a world citizen and the world's richest person (Jeff Bezos at the time of drawing) and calculated that if the median wealth was the volume of an orange, Bezos’ wealth would be a giant ball the size of the Eiffel Tower, i.e. disgustingly wealthy.
Day 15, “Outpost”. Steamboat Express Gas Station
I thought this was going to be straightforward, but suddenly there was a lot more perspective and ting.

From the sewers, the ungodly creature crawled out into the thick night air.
