September – The Mysterious Ticking Noise

[Prof. Maxim Trevelyan]

You hurry down the hall to the printing offices and when you enter the room, everybody is rushing around. The printing press is spewing out nonsense, the articles are printed on top of each other, sometimes in English, some Elfish and you think you saw runes in there as well. On top of all that, it’s letting out a mysterious ticking noise.

Your job is to work out what’s wrong with the magical printing press. You take the top off and peer inside. Make a representation (in any medium you’d like) of what is trapped inside the printing press. Your submission must abide by all HOL rules and be of your own creation.

Post your submission below (600x600 or less) by September 30th 11:59 pm HOL time to get 25 Hoots and 50 beans.

Oh no!! It seems that my 'pet' snake, Venom, has managed to elude me once again! I swear, he is a master 'mischief maker', and he's really done it this time. Poor Charlie is buried under that huge mountain of paper. At least he had enough sense to make a sign so that he could be rescued. Bad, Venom, bad!!!!

Oh no - the culprit is a glittery witches hat!
