A family of rabbit cozy up in their home, two kids playing cards, a mother knitting, getting a kiss from a father with a mug of cocoa. There's a fireplace with a roaring orange fire flanked by tall stacks of chopped wood. A kitchen with kettle can be seen in the background and a snowglobe with castle rests on the inside window ledge. In fact the whole piece is seen through a window with snow on the ledges where two cardinals hang out. There is also a snow covered evergreen coming into frame and snow gently falls. The inside scene is all warm orange yellow and browns, the framing outside elements are cold purples.

In a forest at night, three tweens have large purple bowls filled with mushrooms, one red, one blue, one yellow. The are annoyed and anxious approaching a large tree split in three in which is a chimera hag coven. At the base, it is a large yellow cat with red eyes, rising out of its back is a light blue bookcase with long clawed arms coming out of it, and a woman's face in the centre, red hair, yellow eyes with antler like eyelashes, and actual grey antler coming from her head. The bookcase has books on two levels but on the top curved level it has a chalice, wolf skull and purple bird in a cage. On top of the book case is a red woman's head, she looks spaced out, mushrooms, like devil horns sprout from her head. A red arm also comes from the book case, holding a glowing green sphere containing a mushroom jellyfish. Around the orb float little green specks. There are little red mushrooms growing on the bookcase and out of the cat as well.

Starting a thread to keep all my UNDERGROWTH stuff in. One nice easily scrollable pinned post.

A poster showing Agent Epsilon cheering, some environments from the game, and a yellow background. The text reads: "Reviews for Puzzle Spy International: Puzzle Spy International deserves to be played by way more people... You travel around the world, chatting with an excellent mix of characters... with the option of some flirting, and then solving a tricksy puzzle. And boy, they’re really good puzzles! - John Walker, Kotaku Right away, I was drawn into the story. I like Agent Epsilon, as she's sassy and intelligent (a perfect female main character, I think.) - The Introverted Gamer It's a perfect short-but-sweet puzzle game with an amazing hint system that ensures you never get frustrated! Everything about this game is delightful. The artwork is super cute, the writing is incredibly charming... the music is great, and of course the puzzles! If you're a fan of Puzzled Pint, The Game, the MIT Mystery Hunt, Shinteki, etc. you'll absolutely looooove this game. - Smijin Part of the puzzle is figuring out how to solve it... This is the type of game that you sit with for a while before you reach that satisfying "aha!" moment (or better yet, solve the puzzles together with some friends!) You can tell these puzzles are crafted with care. Along each step of the way, it would blow my mind how the pieces would come together to reveal not just one, but so many layers of puzzles. - AHedgeHug The puzzles have the right amount of difficulty and a new mechanic added to the mix: Hints that don't punish you. It's also not the same puzzle over and over: Each puzzle is a new experience, keeping you engaged and looking for what the next puzzle will bring. - notyourboddhisatva Scratches an itch which needs to be scratched again. The game is short, yes, but the puzzles are genius. Give me more of this please! - ROofdier"

An excellent question!

Pink Panther bike seat is also pretty rad

Going through old catalogues and enjoying finds like this Mork Watch.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

The location from the tshirt task looked fun too. There was a dragon. Much more visually exciting than an airplane hanger or industrial warehouse from past seasons. The old church was a good location though.

The head of a black dragon with zig-zagging pencils for horns breathes out intertwined purple ghosts and word balloons.

Maybe someday, someone will get it right 🥺

In a lose pen style, a caricature of Greg Davies and Alex Horne's heads in rough cyan pen with yellow skin and white and lime green hair (respectively) on a mint green background. Floating around them are Taskmaster items with a red outline, coloured in white, red, brown, ochre and grey, They are: a throne, an egg, a potato, a balloon, a telephone booth, Greg's golden head, a stick tied to a stick tied to a stick, a megaphone, a barrier, a digital clock, a rubber duck, a bathtub, a green red, a piece of paper folded three times with a red seal and a ladder.

New season is off to a decent start. The tshirt task looked especially fun. #Taskmaster

Some people are still not aware of how car centric the culture is. Fish in water and all. 🤷‍♂️

Some of them are for wearing out, but not walking around in. Like arriving at an event, being inside for a few hours and then back to the car. At least that's what it like like to me.

Sneaker culture is car culture. It's super hard to keep shoes in good shape if you walk and bike a lot.

Gag 293: It's baseball season! Why go to a game in person?

The bit of the linked article I read goes (in my head) with something I recently read about Baumol's cost disease: www.derekthompson.org/p/why-cost-d...

Nice piece by Alfalfa

Gag 292: I have personal beef with fortune cookies, but I can still use them for gags.

Kinda sorta pride myself on finding fun ideas for every cover. (Original art for said covers available at chiaroscuro-studios.com/en/art-store/ btw)

This is so funny and true.
