I am reminded this Father’s Day of my dad, who passed over a decade ago, as I peer into the crawl space beneath our new addition. Had we had one like it under the house where I grew up, I’d have spent hours there. I can hear my dad saying with a groan, “She’s in there again, isn’t she?”

I'm not sure how I feel about Missing Link Ironhide's bolt hole. Scratch that: I am sure. I am sure I find it very uncomfortable.

NESS's art really brings to life my "Soundwave and the Power of Christmas" story! All hand-written, all hand-drawn. No AI. #maccaddams #transformers #g1transformers www.instagram.com/p/DR7-nf4j70...

an underwater scene with a robot scanning fish and an open container of wrapped presents. In story balloons are the words "Twas cold in the ocean When Soundwave set in motion His plan to spy on Earth's meat-sacks. For at this time of year, It was common to hear Of a legend with dubious facts."

an illustration of a robot wearing a lampshade over its head and standing next to a pink ceramic Christmas tree. Text bubbles say, "SOUNDWAVE & THE POWER OF CHRISTMAS"; "Author: Mayumi Hirtzel Bonusparts.com Stories & more!" and "Illustrator: NESS NESSMADETHIS.COM Art, links & shenanigans"
