The azhdarchid pterosaur hatzegopteryx reimagined to resemble Vocaloid character Hatsune Miku, while still looking for the most part like a plausible pterosaur. The background is a mostly abstract environment reminiscent of typical Hatsune Miku art.

Hatzegopteryx miku.
Noted among azhdarchids for its capitvating calls and lush pelt of strikingly pigmented pycnofibers.

I just googled this and it sure looks amazing. I might have to try and find a copy so I know what's already been done before I illustrate my next joke-dinosaur.

I've been sitting on it for years, almost forgot about it until I was looking through a text file where I jot down ideas for shitposts and such, and there it was.

These majestic, knotted beasts ruled the skies of the late Breadaceous period and were tragically hunted to extinction for their delciously salty, savoury, chewy but also crunchy snackability. However, with its long, sharp beak and predatory intelligence, the pretzelcoatlus was a formidable foe, much more often the hunter than the hunted. With adult specimens standing an intimidating 4 metres in height, they were by no means an easy meal.

Pretzelcoatlus.

That's not actually why it's called Good Friday but let's not let etymology get in the way of a persistent meme.

When Sonic the Hedgehog *does* actually walk, he walks in a way-past-cool way

At best laughably reductive and at worst head-shakingly inaccurate on more than one count but it made me chuckle and took no more than 10 minutes to edit

note to self: modern reboot of bartleby the scrivener where instead of saying "i would prefer not to" he just responds to people's requests by rickrolling them

Is there any higher honour than being called a Sicko by Stan Kelly? If there is I don't wanna know about it.

And then there's the NZ version of Marmite, also called Marmite and whom the Brits think of as a deceptive usurper, a pretender to the throne, when really NZ Marmite has no further aspirations than idly flavourmaxxing, barely aware of its inadvertently mogged British forebears

Americans & Canadians be like Vegemite's terrible, an Aussie tricked me into eating a spoonful of it! No sh*t, that's the wrong way to eat it isn't it! Now if you spread some on a nice hot slice of buttered toast you'll find that that is also terrible. Optimal conditions are vital for valid results.

Eek! was ahead of its time. The world just wasn't ready.

I've always seen half of Australia as a dog's head but only today did I realise WHICH dog and what the other half resembled. You might say it was a "Woah" moment

I found a mug in a 2nd hand shop with this one on it. But the birthmark, which had been printed just with red ink, had completely faded off. It was surreal like Garfield Minus Garfield. Far Side Minus Visual Gag.

Leftover rhymes include "fork (two-tined)" and "dork, d'you mind?", if anyone requires them. ---- Description: A Far Side cartoon depicting 4 people in surgical scrubs surrounding a patient from whom one surgeon is removing what appears to be a live porcupine. The caption reads "Well, I guess that explains the abdominal pains." Above the comic, two rhyming lines have been added, with another rhyming line added below, so that all the text adds up to the following limerick: In acute pain was Benjamin Horkubind. A treatment, he went to New York to find. "Well, I guess that explains the abdominal pains," Said the surgeon, as Ben was de-porcupined.

Yesterday my crack team of undergraduate limerickologists and I discovered the remains of a lost limerick within a Far Side cartoon, so we've reconstructed the full poem. Peer review is hereby invited, as we plan to formally publish our findings on a prestigious bathroom stall door later this year.

In spec evo, there's a concept known as the "seed planet", a thought experiment where a planet capable of hosting life (usually from earth biology) is "seeded" with a few select organisms (and other starting conditions), and potential evolutionary-timescale outcomes of this are then speculated upon. For instance, what if there was a planet that was basically Earth as we know it except there's no vertebrates, and then someone adds a bunch of ducks? What niches would the ducks diversify into? Would any of them evolve into cool megafauna? Avian moles? Duckwhales? Interesting. But not what I'm doing here today. Many of you will say that I was so preoccupied with the starting assumption that McDonaldland characters are species rather than individuals that I didn't stop to think if I should, and I agree. Anyway this is my seed world - "McDonaldland" - about 50 million years after a terraformed earthlike world was seeded with classic McDonaldland characters for an advertising stunt, part of a promotional tie-in with a movie about alien planets or something (records from this era are spotty at best). This stunt directly led to increased sales of McDonald's products for many Earth-years, but once the promotion was over the planet was filed away and forgotten about for around 50 million years. We've got a towering therizinobirdie having a snack, a bunch of western lowland gorilmaces hanging out on a nice warm rock, and some apex predator descendents of fry kids fighting over a burgersnake, which we can tell is unhappy to be considered a meal. A trio of hamburlugos glide among the treetops, eyeing up the other burgersnakes as they slither away. Sadly, none of the lineages descending from clowns made it this far. McScientists documenting this ecosystem after its rediscovery by McDonald's archivists are intrigued to note the example of convergent evolution on display with the "sentient hamburger" seed-species evolving into snakes. Anacondas and buns, together at last.

Hello again spec evo enthusiasts! Here's a "seed world" scenario where a planet is terraformed for McDonaldland characters to inhabit for a promotional stunt, after which McDonald's abandons the planet for 50 million years.

Poster to fight against ai. Visualized is a cave painting inspired horse, with text that reads "art has always been accessible"

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home.

What app are you using that changes "Persian silk monopolies" into "Person silk monopolies"?

I was using this one as my main reference, but if it's not the norm then I'll take your observation into account for next time. Thanks!

Title: "Unprepared for a Regrettable Luncheon! (With apologies to Kelly)" In the visual style of famed The Onion cartoonist Stan Kelly, Superintendent Chalmers is having lunch with Principal Skinner, who is menacingly placing a tray of hamburgers and fries upon the table, which greatly upsets Chalmers. Beneath one of the hamburgers is a wrapper bearing the text "Obviously grilled fast food". Chalmers [labelled as "Disappointed guests"]: "B-but... I thought we were having steamed CLAMS!!" Skinner [labelled as "Isometric exercising* odd fellows" - the asterisk refers to a footnote reading "Latest fad"]: "Oh, no, I made STEAMED HAMS™®! ©1996 Skinner family All rights reserved" From within the clouds of smoke billowing from Skinner's kitchen (wherein an American flag can be seen burning) three heavenly beings gaze upon the scene disapprovingly: A pig labelled "Actual hams", Krusty the clown, labelled "Hard-working patent-holders", and a teenaged fry-cook labelled "Ignored sandwich artists". Lady Liberty peeks in the door and sheds a sad tear at this woeful scene. Kelly's obligatory artist cameo has him disgruntledly commenting "Seymour-a bore-e-malice."

Steamed Hams but it's a Kelly comic

(Yup that's right I still make "Steamed Hams but..." memes)

And here I was thinking that being advised to use Adobe Express as a substitute for Animate was the height of insulting. Surely we're worthy of better quality gaslighting than this.

Update: Adobe have swerved into damage contr-- I mean "maintenance" mode

But seriously, I predict that the best damn animation studios in town will be filled with rambunctious yahoos and hot jazz music at 1am, if you catch my drift

I meant to say this won't interrupt MY continued use. I still have non-professional Flash projects in the pipeline that are still chugging along and will continue to do so without the support of studios that use Animate

Rest assured this won't interrupt continued use of the tool formerly known as Flash. Many of us started out using it illegitimately long before Adobe showed up to enshittify it and we'll keep using it illegitimately after Adobe has dumped it.

"1-click animation effects" lmao rip animation industry
