Comic book artists are one of the coolest genres of artists in the world Everybody wants to be a comic book artist. You talk to people such as painters and muralists and graphic designers and photographers and they’re all like “god I wish I could draw comics”

if you do closeups of raw penetration it also simplifies the amount of human figure you need to learn

Any cartoonist will tell you the worst thing about the people of the past is that they basically always were wearing hats

I like to make homemade syrup of ipecac by leaving milk in the sun

Commercials should be broadly illegal.

Rest assured that nothing in my comics happens for any reason and nobody ever learns a lesson. Hell, sometimes nothing happens, period

Bagpipes

Every time I can hear bagpipes from my living room with the windows closed I'm going to post the word "bagpipes"

I just watched a YT video about the historical accuracy of The Terror s1, and the creator and most of the comments absolutely hate Tuunbaq and think it should've been a collective hallucination by dying Englishmen who don't know a polar bear when they see one. Not that it matters but I gd despair

For kids with no resources, with no social safety net, the draft has always been in effect.

Is there like. A literary reason for the urinary infection subplot in The Green Mile. I’m not opposed to it necessarily but like *why*

I make it a point never to ask a question to which I already know the answer

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

From 9/11 to somewhere around '07 when people realized that, oh wait, Bush is an IDIOT idiot, every day felt like being the one old anarchist who saw what was coming as everyone sang "Tomorrow Belongs to Me"

“on ro” backwards is “or no,” so these ads answer themselves

People are clowning on this in the comments but it’s a good cube, gets a lot of extra points from me for the unusual perspective
