COMIC: Ergonomics
PANEL 1: GRAMP, an older bald man with a grey mustache, sits at a desk in front of a computer, tongue out in concentration.
TEXT: You’ve tried sitting desks!

PANEL 2: GRAMP stands looking up at a computer on a desk at armpit-height.
TEXT: You’ve tried standing desks!

PANEL 3: In silhouette, we see GRAMP running on a treadmill attached to a standing desk.
TEXT: You’ve even tried treadmill desks! But have you tried a HAMMOCK desk?

PANEL 4: We see GRAMP asleep in a hammock tied to a tree. A margarita and newspaper are on the ground.
TEXT; “Hammock desk! …Just give up!”

Trying this again... Readers/Writers, a question. When reading a heist story, what parts of it do you like best, if the characters are interesting? The setup? The preparation? The turn(s) of events? The actual heist? Problems? Betrayals or other events? The getaway? #WritingCommunity #writing

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

Still cataloging old girlie magazines and I'd forgotten how the magazines of the 80's taught an entire generation that when women take their clothes off, their entire bodies immediately produce a complete covering of baby oil that makes their bodies gleam, glint, sparkle, and shine.

I have seen this one and it is much better (if that could be said) uncut for TV. #Thebrainthatwouldntdie #Badmovies #classicmovies #moviessobadtheygood posted to add alt-text
This is an image of the poster for the movie "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" The poster is various shades of red background with white & black text. There is weird science stuff attached to a brain with a single eye in a small tank there is a woman's head attached to it all.

The text reads "Alive... without a Body ... Fed by an Unspeakable Horror from Hell!"

"Snide T-Shirt" Has ever-changing snide commentary. When wearing the shirt you take a -2 penalty to Diplomacy checks. These comments also warn allies when something bad is about to happen. While you wear this and they can see you, your allies cannot be surprised. You do not benefit from this effect.

Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, & it's my favorite thing I've ever done! If you need a long, escapist read at the moment the entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com (THIS PAGE: You Know Me Better Than That)
PANEL 1: LARGE PRIMO and SQUAT PRIMO stand behind CAYETANO, who looks at them over his shoulder.
LARGE PRIMO: Caye, are the Nyx safe?
SQUAT PRIMO (“PORTHOS”): Your troops aren’t HURTING THEM, right?
CAYETANO: Dammit Porthos, you know me better than that.

PANEL 2: CAYETANO turns to the TALL PRIMO.
CAYETANO: Not a hair on their hides will be touched in my care. I’m not Ramiro for God’s sake.
TALL PRIMO: Well…then thank you. I… we’re just worried for them.

PANEL 3: Close up on CAYETANO.
CAYETANO: You SHOULD be worried for them. They caused the death of more humans than the Tesskan war.

PANEL 4: CAYETANO glances over at TALL PRIMO.
CAYETANO: But I’ll keep them safe ’til their day in court. JUST LIKE I WILL FOR YOU.
TALL PRIMO: Same ol’ Caye. Always gotta be the big man.

PANEL 5: Intensely close on CAYETANO, as seen from over TALL PRIMO’s shoulder.
CAYETANO: You stole a ring ship, you idiot! You stole MULTIPLE ring ships! I as fine with your little crusade until that nonsense.
TALL PRIMO: You could’ve come with us, you know. THAT DAY.

PANEL 6: CAYETANO holds up with hands during his sarcastic response. TALL PRIMO angrily pokes CAYETANO’s arm.
CAYETANO: Oh and what a noble life I missed! On the run for decades…pooping in ditches on backwater planets.
TALL PRIMO: Hey! HEY!

PANEL 7: CAYETANO stops, as TALL PRIMO makes a joke.
TALL PRIMO: …some of them were nice ditches.

Hobbit Day (the shared birthday of the intergenerational Baggins boys) was yesterday, but I didn't post any hobbits! So here are some of the ones drawn up as part of the absurdly big LOTR set I've been doing this year, plus honorary hobbit Gandalf.
Watercolored drawings, with named bases, for the story-consequential hobbits present in the first half of FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, and also Gandalf.

COMIC: Tra-la-lee
PANEL 1: A tall man with a straw hat and a pipe, holding some flowers, stands against a beautiful bucolic scene. Behind him runs a curly haired-Hobbit (SAMWISE). 
SAMWISE: Run! Sauron has recovered the ring! Gondor and Rohan have fallen!

PANEL 2: Another Hobbit (FRODO) runs in. The other hobbit has reached the other side. The tall man continues to look at them, unmoving.
FRODO: Lorien and Rivendell have fallen! Death comes for us all!

PANEL 3: A large TROLL and two ORC surrounded by fire carry TOM BOMBADIL over their heads. The fire reflects on the tree. The scene has made a huge turn. TOM looks terrified but still has a pipe in his mouth and straw hat on his head.
TOM: TRA-LA-LEE, TRA-LA-LA, TRA-LA-BELL-PIN Now I feel kinda dumb for not helpin.’
NARRATION: The Last Days of Tom Bombadil
