The K-Pop Demon Hunters sndtrk reminded me of my favourite weird pop culture artifact, and so I am going to remind you: This song from the credits of WRECK-IT RALPH 2, a very poppy, *very earnest* song about the fictional battle-racing video game, SLAUGHTER RACE. m.youtube.com/watch?v=dm5_...

Yeah, yes, this is me. (No points for guessing which side I fall on.)

I thought one of the promises of LED lightbulbs was that they would last much, much longer than incandescent bulbs, but ours (from a prominent brand) seem to be failing (flickering or just… not turning on) at about the same rate as the old bulbs would burn out.

I'm putting out a free post on the ol' Patreon today, looking at Chapter Six pencils and (likely) spoiling a bunch of PRACTICAL DEFENCE AGAINST PIRACY — if you think you'd be into that, why not come see what's going on? www.patreon.com/c/tonycliff

Today I did a really hard pencil drawing and I had to re-start it half way through and I’m not sure if it’s working like I wanted it to, but there was fifteen minutes near the end of my workday where I was really, really happy with it and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

Fascinating spam: - it's written in English, but references a book title, "¡A Por Dormilón!" which might be "Let's Get Sleepy" (a book I made) in Spanish? Portuguese? - and I can't find a listing for the title "¡A Por Dormilón!" anywhere? - It emphasizes "authentic" but this is clearly AI slop

I played a handful of really good indie games over the last few days, here’s a thread of them. Feel free to chuck stuff you’ve liked in the replies.

I like to close out my talks sometimes by trying to draw my least favorite things as quickly as possible (horse, hands, car 😒). A note arrived after one of these talks. I love it to bits. It’s going on a wall.

Ryan North’s newsletter taught me a LOT about one specific tree, and for that I am thankful. If you would like to know about the tree, I don’t know how to help you. I guess sign up for the next newsletter and hope Tree Facts bleed over into that one

Kiddo’s kindergarten teacher sent out a September calendar set in a playful, legible font that ISN’T comic sans. This is a challenge too great for even some of society’s best and brightest, so I’m looking forward to the school year.

This feels like something I haven’t quite seen before, in a good way. (Do not take the photosensitivity warning lightly!) (I do not care for the casual legitimization of the term “edm” but I understand it’s important to the essence of the thing) www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2Zd...

Big thank you to the entertainment news site which casually referred to Delilah Dirk as a “forgotten IP” — I needed a reminder to disable my Google Alerts.

In today's #DD4 / #PDAP Production Diary: The new school year means all sail's set for Chapter Six of PRACTICAL DEFENCE AGAINST PIRACY; I take stock of where this accidentally-massive comic-book project stands right now. Show your work, you say? Why, happily: ⚔️ www.patreon.com/posts/back-a...

I’ve been to at least one funeral where “complicated” was the kindest euphemism anyone could come up with for “asshole.” I don’t think I needed more motivation, but I do try to live my life so any future eulogizers do not have to twist themselves into pretzel shapes.

Find someone who loves you as much as the alien in ALIEN: EARTH loves standing perfectly still in the background

When I go to the comic shop or the library, sometimes I come home with a comic from Japan or a comic from North America. Or from Europe. All published in handy English. I don't think about them as anything but comics. They're all comics. I just want good comics from whoever makes and sells them.

i saw someone point out that the selector for time on iphone alarms is actually just a really long list and not truly circular. everything i’ve known is a lie

If you don't do the triple jump across the castle lawn the moment you get control of Mario in Mario 64, what are we even doing here

Ahh, *sigh,* I was reminded of the Lucca comics fest. That was a good trip. 2017!

Currently feeling very good and correct and righteous about the choices I am making on my enormous book project. Will sleep well tonight knowing these choices will translate directly into financial success. (Haaa ha ha ha ha ha ha, ohh ho ho ho ho ha ha ha haaaaaa)

That episode of BLUEY where the kids circle around each other trying to lick the ice cream cones, while walking, shot from multiple angles - 😬 (Underpaid TV animators know what I’m talking about.)

You say there's a Folio Society edition of Madeline Miller's CIRCE illustrated by @juliedillon.bsky.social and I'm only just NOW hearing about it? Rude. www.foliosociety.com/usa/circe

The swing from feeling like “heeeyyy no new emails, all right” to “hey, no new emails? Is my email broken?”

Random DEATH BECOMES HER doodles during a rewatch because if I don't put this movie on at least once a year I'll -- and this is true -- die.

I watched THE SUBSTANCE and my main takeaway was “wow Sue has impeccable home renovation skills.”

Vision and Biology of Seeing is a pretty good book and answers a lot of questions like this. I'm reading it again on my camping trip this weekend.

Is it foolish to hope to be the little stick people on the boats, meeting in the middle and kissing

Some more paintings that will be going up for sale this Saturday the 16th at 9am PST. Link is in my profile.

iOS doing the good work of reminding me of the time I guess I saw some weird kelp 👍👍

Heads up fools, our 4yo is already an S-rank god-tier character designer (Pictured exactly as I discovered it this morning, presumably cut out by my partner.)

shout out to the folder of paper textures that I scanned thirteen years ago for always having my back. ilu

Ahh it’s the season when the bees fall asleep on the dahlias, like if I had a mattress made of Cinnabon

Heartbroken to discover BBC radio on-demand is now UK-only. After what, 20 years? I remember putting RealPlayer on my work computer was priority no. 1 at any new job. Seems like real-time broadcasts are still available overseas, but this still feels like a big loss. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Man, you can make all the fancy brushes in the world but I don't know what's better than the look of a plain old round brush with pressure opacity for gestures and sketching.

I haven’t tried it, but: If anyone needs to make an old #Wacom tablet work with a newer OS, there’s this: opentabletdriver.net

For a long time i thought “period accurate” meant putting all the periods in the right spots
