“What a beautiful universe, hon" says a telescope as gazes upon an aurora borealis. “It really is”, responds the telescope's partner, who it turns out is not a telescope, but a microscope. Hands full of algae, she wades waist deep in a disgusting swamp, amazed by the heavenly microscopic life all around them.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a three-piece band is giving an interview on a couch. The members are an amoeba, a zooplankton, and a tardigrade, who is holding the microphone. They are all wearing hip clothing and/or holding beers. The tardigrade says, “we just started jamming together.” Panel 2: he continues, “within a year, we were playing sold out shows.” The band is shown playing on stage in front of an excited crowd. On stage is a drum set, a trumpet set on the ground, and an upright bass. The band members are all microscopic so you can’t see them. There is a band logo on the kick drum that’s reads: Cell Culture. Panel 3: Quincy Jones is giving an interview while lounging on a sofa. Smiling, he says, “all I knew was that these cats could swing.”

happy #makeaterriblecomicday
a digitally drawn four panel comic. the first panel shows a body of water littered with uptorn logs. the text above it reads "so the storm ripped all the trees up and blew em into the water". the second panel shows beaver-like creatures pushing these large logs through the water. the text above reads "but nature adapted, and the unique habitat created a new type of beaver". the third panel shows two people talking to one another, one with a camera asks "oh wow! and you don't find this animal anywhere else?", in the final panel, the other man replies with an image of justin timberlake.

couple new vessel pages went up over the weekend!! 💎 site: www.vesselcomic.com 📖 comicfury: vessel-comic.cfw.me #art #vessel
a crop of a digitally drawn comic page. the panels in view show a man and a woman standing near a pedestal in a dimly-lit room that's overgrown with moss. they are lit by a blue light shining from channels that run down the pedestal. in the next panel, the pedestal makes an almighty "CLUNK" sound, as the floor beneath the pair lowers slightly before quickly coming to a halt.

edited Heathcliff cartoon.

Heathcliff the cat pauses on his way through what looks like a metal detector leading into the den of the Nutmeg home. 

At the top of the detector, beneath a flashing red beacon light, the words "Him Detector" are written.

From the den, Granny Nutmeg explains to her visiting friend, "It's him."

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a man in a tie looks miserable, head in hands, while sitting at a bus stop in the city. He’s thinking, “can’t believe I have work today…” Panel 2: he looks up at the city to find it ablaze, actively being destroyed by the Cloverfield monster/kaiju. Panel 3: the man looks off to the side and makes a mildly surprised expression with a cute subtle smile.

new vessel page!! 💎 www.vesselcomic.com 💎 #art #vessel
a crop of a digitally drawn comic page. a text bubble from a cropped panel reads "no one's lived there for decades though.". the visible panel show a woman in a long poncho walking up a hill-side path that curves around a grassy overhang. a nervous-looking man trails behind her, shooting glances at wooden signs that read "GO AWAY" and "KEEP OUT!!". the woman is saying "ooooooh, an abandoned tower?"

i always forget to actually flog the stuff i make instead of just posting it, but you should read my comic. it's about the human condition but some of the human conditions are animals. the kind of thing where the character interactions are the plot. and i like to think the art is good halo-head.com

One of the weirdest things about going to a newly built or renovated airport is realizing how clean and clear it looks without this cluttering the floors and walls. All the covid signage is so ubiquitous, it feels strange when it's gone.

I really appreciated this thoughtful piece about Ta-Nehisi Coates & Ezra Klein. Andrea Pitzer says “lost” folks like Klein “don’t have a clear idea how this moment fits into history and what it is exactly that they’re doing”. [degenerateart.beehiiv.com]

You don’t have to swallow frogs
Klein and Coates show that if you don’t know what your core beliefs are, you’re going to get played.

I credit going to a Rothko exhibit in my early 20s as being fundamental to the person I am today. I'm so much more appreciative of art and artists, so much more curious about the people behind the books I read and music I listen to because I opened my heart up to some giant canvases a decade ago.

I always get those cold spam text messages that pretend they already know you and wonder who actually falls for that. Turns out, people who get scammed out of millions in crypto do all the time (From the @courtwatch.bsky.social newsletter)
A screenshot of a court document detailing the beginning of a scam, reading "Liu claimed that he had met Victim-l at a conference in New
York City. The victim believed that she had never met Liu previously. Still, she and Liu began
chatting about their private lives. She became attracted to Liu and developed a relationship."
