February Riddle of the Month and Prize Sketch

Ahoy there!

For those unawares, I run a Riddle of the Month challenge over on Patreon. Each month, anyone who pledges $1 or more has the opportunity to win a prize sketch by solving that month’s riddle first.    Today I’m posting the riddle from February, its prize sketch, and its solution.

April’s Riddle of the month will be kicking off in just a few days!
