You get to control what we draw because it's improv, anything can happen.

Hey there!
Welcome to another episode of Dear Blocko!
This is the show where I answer your questions about your world and my world.
First question up!
Artso Asks #DearBlocko What happens If your heart is twice as big?
Would you die?
Well, while having a heart twice the size of your normal one seems a little extreme,
it is possible for your heart to enlarge.
Also known as cardiomegaly, an enlarged heart can be caused by a number of things, including
high blood pressure, old age, and coronary artery disease.
Depending on the situation, having an enlarged heart may be temporary or permanent.
At a certain point, having an enlarged heart can make it harder for your heart to pump
blood.
This makes it a potentially serious and life-threatening condition that should be addressed as soon
as possible.
I can only imagine that if your heart literally doubled in size that it would be even more
life-threatening and something that you’d really, really need to get looked at.
You remember all that bad stuff I just listed?
Please go see a doctor!
How you go about treating an enlarged heart largely depends on what the underlying causes
are.
Treatments can include medication to stop the heart from growing any further, diets
and exercise changes, and addressing the underlying problem directly.
.Deb. asks #DearBlocko What Happens to your body when
you have a collapsed lung?
Sheesh, what’s with y'all and the morbid questions today?
Can’t we do something cute, like why puppies are so gosh darn adorable?
Let me find something… uhh… *blocko looks through note cards* Wait, this is the kind
of stuff you guys are asking?
I guess we’ll go back to the morbid stuff.
Anway, a collapsed lung, also known as pneumothorax, is when air escapes from inside your lung,
leaking into the space between your lung and chest wall.
All of this air buildup puts pressure on the lung itself, preventing it from expanding
as much as it typically would when you take a breath.
A collapsed lung is often caused by an injury, like a blow to the chest, a knife wound, or
a misstep in a medical procedure.
In less common cases, it can be caused by changing air pressures, like when you go scuba
diving or travel to an unusually high altitude.
One of the strangest cases of a collapsed lung happened last year, when a man in China
suffered a collapsed lung after going too hard in karaoke.
After performing 10 songs in a row, all with some challenging high notes, the man had difficulty
breathing and was experiencing chest pains.
A doctor’s visit confirmed that his lung had indeed collapsed.
It’s best to get yourself checked out as soon as possible if you suspect you have a
collapsed lung since it has the chance to rapidly deteriorate into immediately life-threatening
issues, like tension pneumothorax.
And now it's time for questions about me and my world!
StormTheWolf asks Dear Blocko: How's your evil twin Mocko doing?
Ugh, Yes for those of you who don’t know this, i have an evil twin Mocko.
He’s just me with a mustache and an old timey accent.
Here’s the thing, I don’t hate him.
I actively avoid him, but he thinks we’re locked in this battle like i’m trying to
stop his evil plans.
*Mocko is hiding behind the fire hydrant*
Mocko: I know you wanna steal my magic beans Blocko, but you’ll never stop me from planting
them and controlling the entire city!
Blocko: I don’t want your beans!
I have 20 restraining orders against you!
Mocko: Likely story Blocky Boy, but you can’t defeat me with your papers!
I’m going to bean this town up!
Blocko: What does that even mean!?
So do you have any questions about your world and my world.
Let me know in the comment section below and make sure you use the hashtag dear blocko
so i can find it.
