THE SAVING OF LABOUR. The Robot. "Master, I can do the work of fifty men." Employer. "Yes, I know that, but who is to support the fifty men?" 📖 London Punch, 1933 #magazinetimemachine

Very much like a Black Mirror episode. Read it the end for the twist.

I resisted reading this, but omg - it really was insane… a quick and disturbing read to say the least.

Something in the works. Kirk in the works, I should say.

Then I explored how adding Popeye improves any cartoon character.

Why isn’t the prosecution commenting “Nice try Diddy” when the defense in the Sean Combs trial makes its case? It seems like the perfect moment.

Finally the media got ahold of this story, which first broke here I think. Embarrassing! How do you even do something this idiotic?

Yesterday some of our @scbwi-ohiocensouth.bsky.social illustrators met up to sketch and talk shop! It was a lovely day for it, too! @davidrickert.bsky.social

But what about Coyote vs. Acme?

Perfect day for some urban sketching. I drew some houses, but also secretly drew the woman sitting near me. It was a great way to learn about how people hold cups. I felt obliged to give her the drawing after I was done. Who knows what she’ll do with it, but sketching is a great way to meet people!

Congratulations to @davidrickert.bsky.social on the release of his newest book! This is such a fun format!

imagine how good it would feel to have your whole body taken apart, have each piece carefully cleaned, and then be put back together. powerwash my skeleton in the driveway. lay all the parts out to dry on a towel in the sun. oil all the hinges while you're at it

The Best Of Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller January 22,1974

I love Don Martin but caricatures were not his thing

My daughter is going to be a lifeguard this summer and she said that the music they play at the pool is always the correct tempo for doing CPR

Had a great book release party last night! I had everyone that attended sign a copy of my book. You’ll see that some people signed it wedding book style and others did it yearbook style! 😊

Great review from Richie’s Picks!
