Swan Eaters by Georgia Dunn for March 17, 2025

Does grinding them up superfine & putting the powder in a milkshake/smoothie count? Or baking it into cookies? Just idle curiosity – not about to try it!

Poor Olwen. She’s the stuck in the middle having to curb the behavior of her grandchildren and her grandmother! (Olwen calls her Grandma Yaga, but I’m not sure if she is Olwen’s mother or Grandmother. She’s not shown in the family tree.)

Tusks will only add to expensive dental bills-best to stick with what you have.

My own teeth or just anyone’s?

Eating teeth would certainly give Salem a lot of calcium.

I just figured the tusks grew in with age.

Try to stay away from the ones with cavities.

I’ve always wanted a tail, preferably prehensile.

there are more important things to be thinking about!

There’s (almost) always a way to get what you want, it just depends on the price you’re willing to pay.

Salem, if Grandma Olwen is that emphatic, and Baba Yaga has that smile on her face . . . you’d best steer clear!

There is always that one adult who willingly spoils the children.

I want tusks :- =)

I just noticed the shading under Grandma Yaga’s speech bubbles. It makes me imagine her voice having a dark, ragged quality to it.
