Insectile gas-mask from Bob Basset

This insectile "Green Art Gas Mask" is quite a departure for Ukrainian leatherworkers Bob Basset. I like it. A lot.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

  You mean like when we sued the ass off College Humor for Bleep Bloop? And when we took down BoringBoring? And when we sent takedown notices to the dozens of sites that just reproduce our content as a straight feed?
  
  Oh, wait. We didn’t do any of those things.

    Pretty sure “BB” meant “Bob Basset” rather than “Boing Boing” and that Lee’s whole comment was tongue-in-cheek anyway.

      Oh. Never mind. Using BB on BB to mean something other than BB…..

It looks a little sad, like it just heard about Greedo getting whacked.
