Map? I already did a map of Roman Gaul for the Celtic prompt, and didn't want to try that again.
Vague associations called Robert Frost to mind, and I came up with this.
"If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly."
G.K. Chesterton
M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
"If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly."

I'm way behind due to other duties but I've finally finished my Celtic cross for the Celtic prompt.

Prompt 34 is "one line."

One-liners aren’t just for comedians, this week we want to see what you artists have up your sleeves! Using one line, what will you create? A snake and a worm might be the easiest, but amaze us with what you can dream up!

This is an interesting idea, and I think I want to play around with it some more. My interpretation was that, as long as my pen never left the paper, it would be okay to backtrack along the parts already drawn. I had an idea for drawing a leafless tree with a single line but without any backtracking. Couldn't make it work, though. So first I tried this mouse.
Then I tried a version of a profile that I've done in pencil and watercolor. I had to backtrack a lot of times when it came to the hair. I bit off more than I could chew, though, when I tried to incorporate some writing into the single line scheme. I left out a couple of lines, but what I had was illegible anyway. It's supposed to read:
One line to go where I would go,
One line to show what I would show,
One line to draw, one line to write,
Two eyes to look upon the sight.

INKTOBER52 PROMPT NO.35 IS "ARMOR"
What do knights, american football players, and Iron Man all have in common? Well, other than a drive to destroy an opponent they all wear armor! In the heat of a battle you can’t afford to fight in flipflops and cargo shorts. This week, see what you can do with this prompt: ARMOR
This is for prompt 33. Inspired by Buster Keaton’s struggle with a map in The Railrodder (@ around 12:20).

Prompt 34 — one line. Didn’t lift the pen but had to go back over some parts.
