Isn't it really irritating when you're out in your space-suit and find a wasp in your helmet? by Lewis Cooper

In sting ctively I think it should be on the checklist. No wasps ✔️

I guess none of us regular people will ever experience this Lewis. Super artwork, I like the way you’ve done the background.

So good, your imagination knows no bounds

It’s those little details you get in Lewis, super.

Love it, you have a great talent !!

Not sure where you get these ideas from Lew, just glad that you do. If it was Bugs Bunny in the spacesuit no doubt he'd say 'Wasp's up Doc?'.

Oh how funny, Lewis!

Brilliant!!

A bit worse than irritating, I should say..... Liking all those touches of detail!

Thanks to all for your response to this piece of daftness. Whenever I see people in space suits I wonder how they cope with an itchy nose or sneezing, which must surely happen. I’ve taken it a step farther of course.

Without going into detail….Billy Connelly’s gag about the spacesuit was hilarious. He was on Parkinson with Angie Dickinson - it was her reaction which made it so funny.

Wonderful Lewis although it does remind me I was stung by a wasp when it was in my shoe. Oooooh the pain.

Great imagination and creativity!

Love it!

I’ve had a bumble bee in my motorbike helmet, it ended well for both of us! At least I could take my helmet off…..nice one Lewis.

Brilliant and what an expression.

Posted by Val Kenyon on Sat 17 Jan 16:46:22

Thanks again to all for your comments. Always valued. I wondered if it would prompt any ‘sting’ stories, and it did. I’ve been stung a couple of times by bees (gardening). But they can only do it once. Not so wasps, they can keep doing it.

Wonderful imagination Lewis.

Posted by Sandra Kennedy on Sat 17 Jan 19:50:22

Hard to think of anything worse! Good one, well done as always Lew.

Indeed it is!

Not so bad as a violent messy sneeze, but still irritating. By the way, this isn't a self-portrait. I haven't got green eyes.
