One day, when we were kids, we were told “you know Baloo from The Jungle Book? He’s a cargo pilot now. He used to be a wild animal but now he wears a hat. Deal with it.”

Here is a v sharable and relatable poem that I wrote about how Thing Were Better In The Old Days
Sceenshot of a poem. It reads

You kids today, with 'net and games I fought in World War 2 You're not content with airfix planes, I fought in World War 2 In my day (nineteen ninety three), We didn't have what's yours Things were simpler, much less woke, I fought in both World Wars. School lunches, Oh! Pink custard too, Four channels on TV Not like the iphones you have now, Was simpler then, you see? "Image Macros" were all the rage, There was no twitch tv I fought in World War 2, respect The man who's forty three

Sky view of a jungle. A river twisting through the middle. From a yellow rectangle in the jungle, a question:
"What sort of MATERIALS did this supply-hut contain?"
Someone replies, "Nothing unusual! Shovels, hammers, dynamite...why do you ask, TARZAN?"

Pterosaurs: An Artistic History in Four Parts (Art by Joseph Smit, Zdenek Burian, John Sibbick, and @markwitton.bsky.social)
A mixed group of pterosaurs, all with slick, featureless skin and pointed, swooping wings. Some soar with outstretched limbs, others cling frog-like to a stony cliff, and others perch with their feet flat on the rock.A Pteranodon with a plump, bat-like torso and short, stumpy legs drops a mouthful of fish to a group of sprawled, leathery-skinned young which are strewn about the top of a stony seaside cliff. In the distance, two other giant pterosaurs can be seen soaring toward the sea below.Two huge ornithocheirid pterosaurs with rounded crests at the end of their snout soar over coastal waves, while a smaller, duller pterosaur with no crest feeds its well-developed youngster in a bird-like fashion.Two enormous azhdarchids with slender builds and erect, upright stances scavenge the carcass of a dead Triceratops beside a pond. One stands tall, while the other is mid-launch, carrying a strip of meat in its beak.

Still thinking about her
Hey, remember that Willy Wonka experience scam? The one hallucinated by AI, promising a magical candy wonderland for children and it was total shit? This poor woman, hired as a Oompa Loompa, is at a station that looks like a shitty high school science lab that had its funding cut and its lab equipment raided by students to make meth. The Oompa Loompa is in a green wig and a cheap costume, her expression resigned. Every decision that led her to this moment was a mistake. The room is full of smoke and might be on fire.

Streaming services with ads means it sort of just full circled back to Cable Tv. Except now there are no cartoons because streaming killed them. So we just cycled back to the start, but killed several entire mediums (sitcoms, teen and kid animation) in the process.

Pen, watercolor, black & white charcoal pencil.

Another featured piece from the Spooky Pants book.

A man in a sweater stands with his hands on his hips looking out of a large window with the curtains open. Things aren’t looking good outside, reader. A massive winged demon is emerging from the clouds as dozens of little ghosts and bone demons rip through the sky. On the ground below we see townsfolk running through the grass. Our man in the window is in no mood for this. He lets us know, “Oh, I am in no mood for this.” His dog looks out the window as well, wagging its tail. 

Fantasia (1940) inspired drawing. I think I could’ve gone a little heavier with the chaos outside but we’ll try again with fresh drawings this October. I like how the clouds turned out. Trying to balance my sloppy lines with more detail can be tricky but I think we achieved a good result.

Describe your social media reach (enjoy the ALT-text):
Illustration from an old comic book, probably a Conan-alike, where two barbarian-looking guys look up at a big green parrot.

Parrot: "Welcome! Welcome travelers, secret Keeper of The Key!"

White-haired Barbarian Guy: "It's a parrot?!"

Dark-haired Barbarian Guy: "It is a DEMON that speaks with the voice of a man?!?"

There's also a lady holding up a shield who is probably thinking, "This fool is just learning about the concept of parrots?!"

Anyway, I'm the parrot.

Booster replies, "I was WITH you up till that 'normal as you or me' part...."

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Professor X asks a girl, "what is your mutant power?"

Girl replies: "I can guess how many pulls to turn a ceiling fan off on the first try!"

She points up and says: "3 pulls"

Professor X stands up and pulls 3 times. After the third pull the fan turns off.

Professor X: "Yeah thats cool and all, but not really a super power..."

Girl: "Yeah I was jut kidding, I can heal paraplegics"
