Omg - @girlsown.bsky.social - it seems that The Artist Who Cannot Draw Hands has historical precedent!

How often do I have to tell you, Ethel? It's milk first, not tea. #GirlsOwnCC

The clock is ticking down. Currently, it's 8 hours 8 minutes until midnight. Good luck, everyone. #Whamageddon. (And remember - covers don't count, but as soon as you recognise the original, you've been Whammed.)

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A woman (30s?) is sitting on a quiet park bench next to a gurgling stretch of river. Body gently curved around a tiny new human in her arms who is having a feed. A soft smile on Mum's face. A treasured moment of peace. (1)

"Look, I only just met you, and this is rather presumptuous of me, but perhaps if you were to give me your address, we could go for a walk together?" "Sir, not only have we not been formally introduced, but isn't that your wife sitting beside you?" "Minor point." #GirlsOwnCC

"I say, Edgar. Are these all space aliens wearing high headgear to cover their large upwardly-protruding brains, or are they just ladies following the latest fashion?" "It's easy to tell the difference. Just check their hands for abnormalities." *pause* "Oh. Dear." #GirlsOwnCC

Drop some animation

"I feel so ashamed." "It's all right, Gerald. Many men don't even want to take the time to search properly, or think that such a small thing doesn't matter. And yet, it brings such pleasure ..." "But you say it's easy. I've been looking for an hour, and I still can't find Wally." #GirlsOwnCC

9 years ago, we found a tiny kitten (and her sisters) in the compost bin beside our house, where her mum thought they'd be safe. Four weeks later, we brought the kittens inside. Two were adopted; Bilqis stayed (because she had His Nibs wrapped around her little paws). Happy Findustag Miss B!

No, George, I will not give you my hand in marriage, my firstborn, or even my pardon. You interrUpted my reading time, and thus I know we shall *never* suit. #GirlsOwnCC

@xkcd.com And when I tried to look up the Wikimedia link to the Google Maps view of Heart Mountain, look what you've done!

I took a teaspoon from the office on holiday to Thailand before returning it to the drawer. I bet its teaspoon mates don't believe where it was for two weeks.

Hi Melbournites. I'd like to apologise about the weather. You see, on Friday, I took most of my winter clothes and packed them away, ready for next year. So of *course* we're having a polar blast now ...

"Edward, you're 25, boys don't play with dolls, and most importantly, Miss Clark from next door is a real person! Now put her back where you found her, and I'm not buying you any more chloroform!" #GirlsOwnCC

Daily bunny no.3119 is heading to the big city

Madame Circe's students knew exactly how to deal with unwanted suitors. (From His Nibs) #GirlsOwnCC

"You know Papa says we shouldn't give them names. We just get too attached" "Don't you listen to her, little Cutlet. Nor you, Sunday Roast." #GirlsOwnCC

@markey.senate.gov Dear sir, I saw those pics of you standing there with the Trans flag, standing up for our friends and family. Thank you.

@maddow.msnbc.com Here is the protest at Yosemite National Park. The sign reads "ICE melts in the California sun".

"It's a variant of Prickly Pear, Gerald. Harmless to virgins, but delivering a dose of sleeping venom to profligates and those of dubious morals. But at least I know both of us will be fine, won't we? Gerald? Gerald???" #GirlsOwnCC

Reservoir. It's the name of a local suburb with not one but two large bodies of water. So of course I pronounce it the French way, to rhyme with "Avoir". "Res-erv-wah". The locals call it "Res-erv-wore".

Judging you.

"I'm not sure how this lead-lined _Safety Skirt_ works, but I've worn it to please you. Now pass me my jewel-case and get going." "Oh, we'll carry it on the other boat, ma'am. Step in - there's a view from the middle of the river you'll be dying to see." #GirlsOwnCC

Things you hear in the public bathroom in an inland Australian town: "Hurry up and wash your hands, then you can go play on the submarine!"

Sitting watching People vs Robodebt with Mum, and made her jump with "OMG THERE'S @asherwolf.bsky.social !!!!!" You're one of my heroes, my dear.

"Pretty sure this author has never even *had* sex." #GirlsOwnCC (From His Nibs)

"The note says he's a prince from an obscure Eastern European country, and needs my help!" "Well these novels are *full* of princes from long-forgotten countries, so it *must* be true. Go on - write back to him!" #GirlsOwnCC

Ok, I've worked it out. According to Naturopathy, you need to take some of whatever it was caused the problem to heal it. So if #vaccines caused my #autism, then *more* vaccines will cure me, right???

"I don't understand, George. How can we have _a roll in the hay_ when it's already rolled?" #GirlsOwnCC

Reskeet with your mental state.

This time, the Daleks _suceeded_ with sneaking up on the Doctor! (From His Nibs) #GirlsOwnCC

"All right, you've got me. It's a fair cop. But how did you know I wasn't part of your secret society?" *Agatha looks her up and down, her dark solid coloured outfit conspicuous against the light stripes of the footsoldiers and the captain's checks* "You'll never know." #GirlsOwnCC

"I did warn you, Adelaide. Did I not say 'Don't yell out loud or you'll cause an avalanche?'" "But Doris! Those rocky spires are geologically impossible! I could never restrain myself around such grotesques!" #GirlsOwnCC

"So it's agreed, gentlemen. Louisa is yours from Sunday to Tuesday, Frank. George, you have her from Wednesday to Friday. And I shall enjoy her delights on Saturdays." "If only we could all afford a bride, instead of sharing her." #GirlsOwnCC (Somehow the previous cartoon got deleted)

@girlsown.bsky.social Thank you for providing some gentle entertainment while I hang online with my ISP's Helpdesk people who are incompetent as ever.

Read the thread. Just ... read the thread.

Don’t be afraid to share your writing. There are six Sharknado movies.

"And that's how Amanda made me a Lesbian." "Goodness! I had no idea! So what sort of wool should I buy you so you can make me one now?" #GirlsOwnCC
