Ugh. This is a disaster for Toronto. Ripping out protected bike lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Ave will gut the city's bike network. Crashes will increase. And no, traffic will not be faster.

Panel 1: Shen is looking cute, with his big sparkly green eyes, cupping his hands together and resting them against his right cheek while tilting his head the other way. He says, to a character in the foreground (the messy blonde haired "Pro Hater" from some of my previous comics), "You know, every grudge you hold is like a weight upon your heart."

Panel 2: We get an x-ray looking into the pro hater's heart. It is surrounded by heavy dumbells and barbells, and has weights attached to its legs and arms like Rock Lee from Naruto. It is curling a dumbell with its right hand with a tense expression.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a man in business attire is disrobing and walking down a road away from a city, passing a sign that says “CITY LIMITS”. A narrative caption reads, “I left society behind.” Panel 2: it continues, “I became one with the meerkats.” The man is nude and wearing face and body paint and fake ears to look like a meerkat. He is posed next to a family of meerkats on a dirt mound. Panel 3: one of the meerkats is checking the mailbox outside their burrow, says “this came for you, bro” and hands the man an envelope. The man examines the envelope which reads “URGENT NOTICE FROM I.R.S.”

Guys, Cairn is so great. I love this game. I'm trying to beat the free solo mode by doing a little bit everyday, but I keep dying at The Peril. Will update if I ever manage to climb this mountain.

You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')
comparison between apple's finder icon and mine. apple's is the split blue and white smiley face, mine is two blue and white anime girls making outcomparison between discord's icon and mine. mine is like a screaming cat on a blue/purple slimy backgroundcomparison between celsys's clip studio paint icon and mine. mine is similar but rotated with some comic styling and pink and blue highlightscomparison between mozilla's firefox icon and mine. mine is similar but looks closer to the old firefox icon and brings back the little arm and gives the fox a cute little smiley face
