On a 1:1 basis, yeah probably volcanoes give off more CO2 than humans. But then you have to factor in the other species of canoe that bring the average down quite a lot. Some of them don't erupt at all, just gently dribble (I'm referring to canooze, of course).

A crayon artist sits with their legs crossed in a chair next to a wall they have covered in dinosaur illustrations. They are wearing overalls and a bandana. They exude the confidence of an artist who has seen their vision to completion. However, like many creators, their vision is not shared by everyone. They are confronted by a man in a sweater vest, “Heard you been drawin dinosaurs on my walls.” The artist replies, “You heard right.” 

Artist’s note: I try to do my drawings quickly so they maintain that spontaneous feel I’m going for (something we’ve discussed in previous posts). For this one I ended up redrawing the artist’s pose and subtle facial expression over and over again until it felt right.

T-Rex: People are always like "ooooh boo hoo, you can't have a story without conflict, it doesn't work, it's impossible, boo hoo hoo."

T-Rex: BALONEY!!
T-Rex: To them I say: what about a story about some guy enjoying the best sandwich of his life?
Dromiceiomimus: That doesn't sound THAT interesting.
T-Rex: Ah, but you didn't let me finish: at the end of the story, it includes a surprise recipe for that sandwich, WITH PHOTOS. It's not fictional! THE BEST SANDWICH OF THAT GUY'S LIFE IS REAL!!
Dromiceiomimus: Holy CRAP.
T-Rex: See? DONE.
Utahraptor: Ah, not so fast!

Utahraptor: You've still got conflict: man vs. sandwich expectations (he defeats them), man vs. disappointments in past sandwiches (he defeats them), man vs. his surprise of how good a sandwich can be (the surprise defeats him, BUT: the man is glad to be subsumed in, AND BY, sandwich paradise).T-Rex: ...Frig, I forgot about the classic "Man Vs. His Surprise Of How Good A Sandwich Can Be" form of conflict in narrative.
Off panel: It features heavily in the original draft of Hamlet!
T-Rex: I know, I know!
T-Rex: I don't know how I forgot!!

Pencil on paper. A man in a sweater leans out of his apartment window with his hand on his heart and yells out for everyone to hear, “There’s music in my heart again.” A woman leans out from her window a floor below him and says, “Sing us a song, sweater boy.” Artist’s note: I was emerging from a long stretch of moodiness when I made this one. For a moment, I was sweater boy.

Terrible joke meme made of 3 stacked images from a moving scene in the film Finding Neverland.
1. Close up of a young boy (Freddy Highmore) sitting on a park bench with his father looks up at him and says "Dad, can you tell me what a solar eclipse is?" 
Image 2: Close-up of the dad (Johnny Depp) looking down at his son saying "No Sun" 
Image 3: the father embraces the boy as they sit on a bench. The boy is crying at the dad joke.

Entomologist here. Great question! It may seem surprising that the scientific community could miss an entire bug species after all this time, especially when it’s THIS big. The answer might surprise you more. Let’s dive in (1/?)

Scientists have discovered a giant new species of stick insect in Australia, which is over 15 inches long and researchers say may be the heaviest insect in the country.

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A post from “kavishj9611” that reads: 

“All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question:
If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?”

Panel 2:
And Orange Guy and a Pink Guy are standing in a room that has two pipes in it. Both pipes are pumping raw sewage into the room. The characters are waist deep in it.
Orange Guy says smugly “Ok Mr “I don’t want to be in a room that’s filling up with raw sewage” let me ask you this”

Panel 3:
The sewage has reached their chests. Pink Guy is gagging. Orange Guy smugly continues “If all this sewage disappeared right now, could you get through the day without it?”

Panel 4:
The sewage is almost up to their eyeballs. Orange Guys says “Look at that shit floating past your face. Are you willing to give that up?”
