Our Favorite Flipnotes from last weeks Topic "The Law"

In our first selection this week, by マソメンミ, an outrageous law has been passed, banning corn. What will poor ducky have to eat!

This dynamic animation, by C@itsquids, features an officer of the law dispensing justice with his side arm.

The law is the law, however unusual it might be, as we see in this rib tickling Flipnote, by sb_1_2_9.

The rule of honor is beautifully illustrated in this dramatic and powerful entry, by RadaPatada.

This Weeks Topic - "Volcanoes"

A volcano is a rupture in the Earth's crust that allows hot lava, volcanic ash and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.

Volcanoes can erupt with enormous power, causing vast devastation, and are very difficult to predict.

The most famous volcano disaster in human history is probably when Mt. Vesuvius erupted in AD-79, burying the city of Pompeii under meters of hot ash and pumice, preserving it's day of destruction until even today.

We're imagining flowing lava, pyroclastic clouds and Earth shaking eruptions! We hope you have fun with this one.

Here are some movies featuring volcanoes that might be inspirational:

Dante's Peak (1997)

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Pompeii (2014)
