It's time for Comic Character Design BAD DECISION BINGO As we all know, the real winners have the most empty spaces! But QRT/reply and let's see how many of us lose miserably. 😆 #baddecisionbingo #comic #webcomic #meme
A bingo card labeled "comic character design bad decision bingo," including common difficult comic character designs like "asymmetrical design," "tattoos, scars, or piercings," "detail overload," "translucent," "wears layers, removes layers," "acquires or loses an element, "shown at multiple ages," "historically or culturally accurate clothing, ""logos graphics or patterns," "10+ color flats," "transforms," "braids or woven patterns," "free space," "mechanical/robotic elements," "nature or animal elements," "appears with a sidekick," "permanent makeover," "changes outfits every day," "naked and strategically censored," "non-humanoid," "5+ unique outfits," "special effects," "biological relatives," "unique nose for every character," and "every character has 5+ of these." Footer reads, "Maybe they aren't all bad decisions, but they do make our lives harder! Drop your character art into each square. Template by @bob-artist (bsky, tumblr)

Just to clarify the wording for myself, So if someone writes "click here to read the update" and "click here" is the hyperlink, it will actually read out "'http full web address dot com' to read more" instead, correct?

Social con—*unintelligible screaming* It costs upward of 15k to give birth in a hospital given things go fine. It’s twice that for a C-section. And what if there are complications that require an extended stay? If the baby is a preemie and needs to stay in NICU, that’s 3k-10k PER DAY.

saying this as a comic market attendee, vendor, and organiser: we need to start holding event organisers accountable for poor selling conditions when those organisers have 10+ years experience running events and those conditions are easily addressed.

Kittens won't talk about the one on his brow. The bullet entry was from being shot by a cult leader who knew his dad, because that's a thing that happens sometimes. The spiral he did to himself later out of poetic panic (youtu.be/PTjoJbQrXIE?...) Bull: punchy man got shot & also fought a werewolf

kattabolt.com edition. Ch1 is pretty quiet about the previous occupation of Thandinas, but the hints are there. Ray: little scars under his left eye Eli: his left leg and left eye various background folks: have a look sometime! You may also notice how shiny new a lot of places seem to be...
Ray from the webcomic Kattabolt. He is a fox boy with orange hair and red eyes. There are little lines under his left eye that read as artistic license until you realize just how visible they are regardless of his mood.Eli from the comic. He's an old man sitting on some overturned crates that he uses as a seat on his wagon. Eli's left eye is blind and sagging, with a long scar running through it. His left leg has also been amputated somewhere below the knee.An old woman that Chris helps outside of the bakery. She's got bunny ears that have a notch scar in them and appears to be missing two fingers on her left hand. Lots of left-side injuries, which is not relevant, just something I'm noticing now as I showcase these.A young man with freckles and a cleft chin. He's wearing an eye patch over his right eye. His right! Finally, at least one right-side injury.

Supper Mario Broth @mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
In the Mario Teaches Typing games, Mario never criticizes the player for underperforming and tries to be understanding and supportive. According to Charles Martinet, that was his initiative, as he felt being negative would go against the core principles of Mario's character.
In the Mario Teaches Typing games, even if the player does badly or underperforms compared to previous attempts, Mario will try to be understanding instead of critical:
Uh-oh, that wasn't quite as fast as the last time.
Hmm, are your fingers getting tired? Mine would be by now... if I had any. (laughs)
Charles Martinet, speaking at TooManyGames Convention 2021:
I got this marvelous opportunity to do Mario Teaches Typing. And when I got the script and I'm in the studio - I'm reading the script for the first time, there were things like "You failed!"
"That wasn't very good." "That was much worse... that was bad."
And I was reading that and I said, "Do you mind if I just, like, play with these words a little bit and just change them around?" because, you know, I never say "no" and I never say anything negative as Mario... and the producer graciously said "Sure, go for it!"
And so it became "Oh, that was good, but I know you can do even better!" "Oh, nice one but let's try again!" so it was always uplifting and always trying to be positive. And I think that that is the essence of the character to me - it's that love and that joy.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol
