It sure was. Ugh.
Ok, I have a new favorite band. Watch the whole thing, it’s good all the way through.
lol.
Reminder that this strip was dunking on webcomics, back in the day. Sorry we didn't meet your high standards, Gonzo Hands.
Friends, our Dan Dare graphic novel Kickstarter campaign is just 40 hours from ending. It would be incredible if you could help us one last time by reposting our Kickstarter post it would really help us cross the finish line in style!
Our etsy sales are how we subsidize our mentorship program. Right now we're able to offer stipends to two mentees a year! Your purchase makes that possible.
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
This was in ANIMAL FARM too.
We’re on for Wednesday! It’s gonna be great!
“And they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.” That’s how a zombie outbreak starts, with the wrong response to Patient Zero.
Republicans are getting more brazen — in rhetoric and policy — in pushing teenage girls to give birth.
The good news is that it won't work. Girls aren't going to fall for it.
An analysis.

My “so surprised” crayon is down to an unusable nub.
Bloomberg: "A total of 12 commercial ships completed successful outbound transits on Saturday morning London time, before it became clear that Iran was halting transits again. At least half of those that did get out had links to Iran."
Wasn't the blockade supposed to stop those Iran-linked ships?
You won’t regret it. Spread that love!
Lemon garlic oil, the greatest throuple ever
Agreed.
It’s the greatest garlic delivery system ever created

Everybody’s “upstream” vs “downstream” is different. What stuff makes your “hard part” easier?
Oooh, are they all green or purple now? Yoiks.
We use what works.
The thing that made brushwork doable for me was pouring my ink into a shallow bowl (an ashtray, tbh). Never too much ink in the belly if you chisel it up on the edge after you dip.
Then I had kids, and never had time to wash a brush properly if I had to run up the stairs, and pens were in.
Oh, you’ve got faaaancy pens! I drop those damn things so easily.
Nowadays I have to stick to the cheap stuff, which isn’t very black, but which don’t make me cry. I find I do like the flex on the nib.
Back in the Stone Age, I inked everything in foreground and midground with a brush, background with a fairly small pen. Nowadays it’s Two Pens all the way.
Two pens is mighty, and will prevail!
