The Weekly Inventions of

On a brown table lies a phone which is being charged, a notebook with lots of sketches in it and in between them sits a pen, which at one end has a USB C charger on it and at the other end has a pen. On the barrel of the pen is an indicator of remaining charge and a label that says ChargeMark.

ChargeMark

Now, of course, the fact that both Zargoid 5 and George had gone missing was very concerning, but unlike you I wasn’t worried because I was wearing CalmKnit and had just shaved with ZenLather.

Jenny was even less worried because, although she hadn’t used ZenLather, she was seemingly less generally concerned about things.

Or maybe she had special booster CalmKnits on. I hadn’t checked.

We needed to race across the world and find George, but before leaving I just needed to deal with two things.

First, I would need a pen to note down and check off all of the places in the world where George wasn’t, so we didn’t accidentally check somewhere twice.

Second, I would need a charger in case my phone ran out of battery.

Now, you would probably have to bring two things with you for this situation.

But not me.

Because I have ChargeMark.

ChargeMark is a revolutionary new combination pen and phone charger.

Pop the lid off one end...

Pen.

Pop the lid off the other end...

Charger.

Bingo.

Now I will admit that using ChargeMark to write while it is simultaneously charging your phone can make things a little unwieldy, but as ChargeMark can charge a whole phone in only 14 seconds, you shouldn’t be inconvenienced for long.

Although because it is so quick at charging phones, quite a lot of people ask to borrow it.

You won’t need to borrow one if you buy one today!

Note to self: Maybe invent it so that the phone becomes weightless while it is plugged into the ChargeMark. That would make writing with it even easier!
