Bill Watterson’s “Calvin and Hobbes” first appeared 40 years ago, on November 18, 1985. Here’s the first week of dailies:

Snoopy's vulturing is one of my absolute favorite things in comics. Visceral observation, and adding something to the lexicon of comics (and pet owners)

Was just thinking about the old gameboy Jurassic Park game and this pops up. Lovely. And more immersive than the most recent film was.

I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott

I was starting to think the listification app was broken, I hadn't been blocked by anyone in weeks. Thanks random Internet dipshit whom I'd had absolutely zero interaction with; And hey- Sorry my drawings just weren't fappable enough for you, that's my bad.

omg it me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The world always needs more chill librarians.

there's an alt version of this where they swapped cows in for the horses; this one ran as DAIRY SECRETS

Possibly the most accurate thing Stranger Things got right about the 80s was the premise that 3 nerdy boys would not only have a compass on them, they could each produce more than one at a moment's notice.

There was an indie push against PayPal in the tabletop RPG space like a half decade or more ago and unfortunately it fizzled out b\c the main "I don't take/do Paypal" heads had a /really/ bad response to "so what about creators in the global south\other regions with no other option?" They shrugged.

I firmly believe the Disney we see is the result of the hate-fueled necromantic corpse of Walt claiming its due, feeding upon the passion and creativity of his empire until it becomes a withered husk of IP exploitation.

Occurs to me that whether you think Marjorie Taylor Greene should be welcomed into The Tent or not depends on whether you think the fight is against a fascist movement or against one particular very bad man.

this is fantastic, a thorough and compellingly argued theory of modern cinematic sludge

Aidan’s right. I’m gonna keep saying it: cringe is just a word cowards use

I don't have "too many tabs open." My tabs are flourishing. Healthy. Bountiful. The ecosystem is thriving.

The Bad Seed should be on everyone's favorites list.

Miss Buxley first appeared in Mort Walker's "Beetle Bailey" on November 17, 1971. Camp Swampy obviously had a fairly relaxed dress code.

Sometimes, the idea maker just… kinda gets backed up. And sometimes, not having an idea GIVES me an idea. This is one of those times. lol

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

Kinda wondering if the steam boxes release and are popular enough, if that would help popularize linux use/releases a bit more after how rancid Microsoft/windows is these days

always exciting to find out what fresh hell awaits us this week

Happy 81st Birthday to Danny DeVito, best known for his unforgettable, career-defining three-second cameo in the “Ghostbusters” music video. 👻🎂

Believe it when I fucking see it, but she's happily spewed some awful shit out her mouth for years so what does she think she's gonna accomplish here?

I binge the same 6-7 sitcoms on rotation. I'm on my second rewatch of MASH this year. You want me to watch something new? It better be GOOD. I shouldn't have to point out that the audience is way more interested in QUALITY shows than some fucking CEOs "I fired everyone" Bonus Yacht.

Session 0 in the bag. Getting my legs back under me is even harder than I thought it would be. Choosing to focus on momentum.

You'd be surprised how many games could make effective use of a chess clock.

This thanksgiving is going to be a wild one, isn't it?

Remembering Darwyn Cooke on his birthday. #ComicSky

Brilliant and practical thread by Ian on how to make extremely versatile & eye-catching terrain in a fraction of an afternoon.

In "Peanuts," Lucy first yanked the football away from Charlie Brown on November 16, 1952. This wasn’t the first time the football had been yanked away from him—Violet holds that honor. But from this strip onward, Lucy was the culprit behind one of the strip’s most beloved recurring gags.

The world is a scary place these days with fascism at a high point and so many fools oblivious to it. Fight it every day! But also, look after yourselves. Take time to breathe and recognize that things aren't all bad. Life is still beautiful. Do something fun or relaxing when you can.

Loving this Sebastian character. 😆 Hope this means the younger crew are finally getting more action. #SNL

JFC they're running TilTok ads on SNL tonight. Things that bad over there or what?

Didn’t think much of the rumors until they started doing damage control

Tête-bêche books are "doubles". I always called them flip books, but that gets confused with books you flip to see animation. What do you call these types of books? They are two books in one. You flip it over to see the other book that takes up the back half (or front half?). Who digs this?

We're taking this off the site Sunday night -- don't wait if you want this super small batch print to adorn your abode!

Occurs to me I might have taken the mission to literally because there's a fuck-lot of "card games" that would otherwise be on this list.

Off the top of my head: Chess Tak Province Scoville Lords of Waterdeep Catan Roborally Zombicide Risk And Scythe, in principle, but after all these years I still haven't gotten to actually play it... Some of those are for vibes more than gameplay, other games might do what they do better.

They're running from it now. But the fact that Senate Republicans tried to give 10 of their colleagues at least $1 million each for nothing but a bogus press op captures the corruption of Trump II. In no other environment wld this even occur to the most corrupt politicians.

I get it, I do, but when the local stores are begging people to bring in their pennies, something tells me this isn't a great fucking idea RN. Oh, also illegal to stop. AFAIK te law hasn't changed: they're obligated to produce "some" which is the current loophole they're exploiting.

99% of Republicans understand nothing about intraleft politics. they’re still saying shit like “you won’t be so happy when BILL CLINTON is implicated will you?”

This will be called "evidence of consciousness of guilt" in subsequent criminal trials.

Here is my absolutely zero importance pet peeve: people who get angry that a piece of fictional media that has made no claim to being historically accurate is not historically accurate.
