"Is a Sam's butt blue?" ~ Johnfaa

Posted Image

~~~

Posted Image

~~~

Posted Image

Yes.

"Dear Sam: It's been spring for a while now, but it's only gotten warm rather recently around here, and that kinda got me wondering. How would you spend a sunny spring day?" ~ Martin

~~~

Spring is Sam's favorite time of the year.

When the weather is mild, he loves to make iced tea.

Posted Image

*ba-dum-tss*

He also enjoys climbing a tall tree!

Posted Image

~~~

Posted Image

~~~

Posted Image

~~~

Posted Image

~~~

Posted Image

He might also go to the park!

Posted Image

But Sam's most favorite thing to do of all on a sunny spring day would be to go for a hike in the woods with Bingo.

Posted Image

Sam loves the outdoors.

"What type of music does Sam like?" ~ Archeoraptor

Posted Image

Hmm.. seems like this one is tough for Sam to decide on.

But if he had to choose, probably...

Posted Image

...maraca music!

"Dear Sam: If you were to make a speculative evolution project, what would it be like?" ~ AGolotl

~~~

Posted Image

"Has Sam ever dealt with the likes of land whales? And what is his opinion on veggie burgers?" ~ Adman

~~~

When Sam was a child, he sometimes played on the playground with a Pakicetus named Patrick.

Posted Image

Patrick was a stand-up guy who always shared his dinosaur action figures, and Sam has retained a strong respect for the land whale community ever since.

~~~

Sam doesn't much care for most veggie burgers, though he does enjoy Extra-Oatty-Oaty-Oats-Brand Oateriffic 100% Oats Oat-based Oat Burgers.

~~~

"What is Sam's opinion on Pelagian, Nestorian and Monophysite Christianity?" ~ Crookedjaw

Posted Image

Sam did not care for it. Too long, plot hard to follow. 2/10

"Favorite color?" ~ trex841

Posted Image

Blue.

"Sam, what is the meaning of life?" ~ DK1000

Posted Image

"What kind of vehicle sam likes to handle?" ~ Dragonthunders

Though he can also ride a bicycle, Sam's favorite vehicle to handle would have to be his little red wagon. He has had it since he was a child.

Posted Image

"Sam, how many hotdogs can you eat in a minute?" ~ Vorsa

Posted Image

~~~

Posted Image

~~

Posted Image

~~

Posted Image

~~

Posted Image

Sam can eat part of one hotdog in a minute!

(Sam believes it is unwise to eat too quickly - he would not want to get indigestion.)

"Does Sam have a DeviantArt account?" ~ AGolotl

Posted Image

Nope.

"If Sam could have a superpower, what would it be?" ~ Kamineigh

The power to make a perfect lasagna.

Posted Image

Sam's always comes out too dry.

Posted Image

"Dear Sam, how old are you?" ~ Oysterman

Posted Image

That's a good question.

Sam isn't sure.

Posted Image

He asks Bingo.

But Bingo isn't sure either.

To get to the bottom of the issue, they decide to ask Sam's parents.

Posted Image

They should know.

Posted Image

But they provide little further assistance.

It would seem no one knows just how old Sam is.

But one thing is for certain!

He is the oldest today that he has ever been, and as young as he ever will be.

Posted Image

"Dear Sam: You are such an inspiration. I am wondering if you are good at art, and if so, if you could show us an example of what you like to draw? Thanks Sam!" ~ Beetleboy

~~~

Sam does not consider himself a great artist, but he does like to draw, and he always tries his best.

Posted Image

One of Sam's favorite things to draw are elephants.

Posted Image

They are his favorite animal, because they're smart, friendly, and caring, but also strong and powerful, just like himself.

Posted Image

~~~

"Does Sam like pancakes?" ~ Paleo_Specs

Sam loves pancakes.

They are one of his favorite foods, and Samalloon loves them too!

Posted Image

(Bingo, however, does not like pancakes... or Samalloon.)

~~~

"What tips can you offer for attracting hummingbirds to one's backyard?" ~ Sayornis

Hummingbirds love flowers.

Posted Image

And friendship.

Dear Sam~

I've been having trouble with squirrels at the feeders recently. Do you have any tips to keep them from gobbling up all the seed?

Thanks!

~Dr. Nitwhite

Sam enjoys few things more than feeding and watching the birds outside.

Posted Image

But nothing is worse than coming back to find that all of the seed has been eaten by squirrels.

Posted Image

~~~

Posted Image

Fortunately, Sam knows just what to do to make sure his birds don't go hungry.

Just put out more seeds!

A lot more seeds.

Posted Image

So there is plenty for everyone!

Because Sam doesn't play favorites between the different woodland creatures.

~~~

Sam, do you prefer gelatin or pudding? ~ Kamineigh

Oh, definitely pudding. Especially chocolate pudding.

Posted Image

Until the pudding is eaten up, then gelatin! Especially cherry gelatin.

Posted Image

"Sam, what was the happiest moment of your life?" ~ Zorcuspine

Probably the time he found a balloon.

Posted Image

For the first time, Sam felt his true purpose in life: to own a balloon!

"Does Sam like snails?" ~ Uncanny Gemstar

He does!

Posted Image

"Sam, what is your most cherished possession? ~ Parasky

Definitely this stick that someone just left on the ground near some trees!

Posted Image

As much as he loves it, he still would like to find its original owner one day.

"Dear Sam, do you still enjoy licking the glass at the animal enclosures in the zoo, or have you moved past this? If you still do, what other flavors do you like? ~ Corecin

Sam has moved beyond tasting the glass at the zoo after a riveting lesson from Bingo on germ theory.

Posted Image

These days, his favorite flavor is watermelon.

Posted Image

(the pretty green part, not the yucky red stuff inside.)

"What is Sam's opinion on mashed potatoes?" ~ Sphenodon

Sam thinks mashed potatoes are wonderful.

Posted Image

Not so much to eat, but because they are an excellent consistency to shape into dinosaurs!

Posted Image

"Sam, did you see the eclipse?" - WaterWitch

Well, he certainly tried to...

Posted Image

But things just didn't work out as he had hoped.

Posted Image

~~~

Posted Image

~~~

Posted Image

~~~

Posted Image

Sam is hopeful there will be a do-over in the near future.

"Dear Sam

Do you have a job? If not, what would be your dream job?" - Tet

Sam doesn't have an official job, except making everybody around him feel warm and fuzzy inside.

But if Sam could have any job in the world, it would probably be as the moon.

Posted Image

So he could shine a light through the darkness for everyone who looked up at him.

Posted Image

Sam can't think of a better job than that!

~~

"Dear Sam. Do you have any tips for spotting birds or animals in the wild?" ~ Vorsa

Oh, for sure!

Well, Sam does enjoy going outdoors and spotting wild animals.

But what do you do if it seems there are none around to spot?

Posted Image

If you are having a hard time finding any animals, Sam recommends the utilization of camouflage.

Posted Image

Animals are often shy around new people - something which Sam can relate to - but will be much more likely to come out if you blend into the background.

Posted Image

Come out, little animals. Nobody here but us trees!

Posted Image

Combined with a little patience, this trick is certain to let you spot many more wild animals than you ever could otherwise.

Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image

Additionally, not all wild animals are out and about during the daytime, when you are likely to search for them. Many creatures are active at night, spending the day resting in safe, dark places, such as under logs and rocks.

Posted Image

If you are very careful, you can sometimes see these elusive animals by gently lifting up such hiding places and taking a peek - just be careful to set the rock back exactly as it was before when you are done.

Posted Image

You never know what you might find!
