Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Maurice Noble was THE cartoon background designer. I love how much he was able to fuck around around and get so abstractly graphic, yet no one in the audience ever batted an eye because his designs lent so much personality and energy to the cartoons they were used in.

Another Lascaux horse. From last Autumn.
Framed relief sculpture of a horse, based on the axial gallery of the Lascaux. The horse is yellow, with an orange neck/face. It starts on the left/hindquarters as a cave painting and then becomes more three dimensional to the right/front. The background of the relief is textured to look rock-like. There are various painted lines around the horse including two that look like feathers, and 4 parallel lines above. Framed relief sculpture of a horse, based on the axial gallery of the Lascaux.

if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.

In case anyone missed my little X-Files point and click daydream
Mulder, Scully, Skinner, and the Lone Gunmen, all drawn in a cartoony style.A hallway of an institute or something like that, with eldritch green light pouring in through a far window.A car crests a hill at night. A figure with a shovel stands by the roadside.My wife and I are watching a little bit of The X-Files again and I've been doodling
along.

Imagine if you will: a five act point-and-click where you switch between Mulder and Scully depending on what kind of clues and puzzles you're working with. The Lone Gunmen get their own episode during Act 4 but they all move together like a single character. Tone is 70% comedy 30% paranormal horror.

Scully: "Mulder, you can't combine those."
Mulder, trying to tie a stick of dynamite to a taxidermied pheasant using half a shoelace: "Ancient Roman augurs read omens into the flight paths of birds all the time, Scully."

Scully: LOOK AT Enormous Rotating Saucer Hovering Over the Town
Scully: "That's the second biggest weather balloon I've ever seen."

Scully: LOOKAT Fox Mulder's Docs Folder
OPEN Fox Mulder's Docs Folder
Scully: "Ah."
Mulder: "I get those for the articles."
Scully: "Yeah who doesn't love a juicy article."

Mulder LOOK AT Mysterious Skull
Mulder: "Seen this, Scully?"
Scully: "Artificial cranial deformation has been attested in numerous cultures,
Mulder. The practice results in elongated skulls and flattened foreheads."
Mulder: "Does it make the bones glow green?"

happy Nolan’s The Odyssey release day for all who celebrate. here’s my favorite Odyssey-related contemporary poem, “Telemachus’ Detachment” by Louise Glück.
Telemachus’ Detachment

When I was a child looking
at my parents’ lives, you know
what I thought? I thought
heartbreaking. Now I think 
heartbreaking, but also
insane. Also
very funny.
