You're half as old as he is dead and you are worshiping at his altar, you are drinking his piss. He won.

My aunt passed away earlier this year, and for a while it broke me. She always enthusiastically supported my art, from when I was a child to this year, she always insisted on buying art from me. She commissioned this Zelda art when I was 12, and she had kept it all that time.

I love how Dani is drawn in these panels so I had to make a doodle
ID: two New Mutants panels of Dani Moonstar and Doug Ramsey. In the second, Dani is drawn close up and looks glamorous.
Text: 
Doug Ramsey: I FEEL LIKE AN OUTCAST. OR A CONVICT, IN THIS PRISON FOR LIFE.
Dani Moonstar: YOU THINK YOU'RE ALONE IN THAT REGARD, DOUGLAS? A WHILE BACK, I ASKED MYSELF, WHICH AM I--CHEYENNE, MUTANT, VALKYRIE, PLAIN OLD ORDINARY GIRL? I STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT THE ANSWER. MAYBE I NEVER WILL.ID: a doodle drawing of a very crudely-drawn Doug Ramsey and a doodle of Dani Moonstar with flowing hair and sparkles.
Doug: I’m sad, Dani.
Dani: You think you’re the only one who’s sad, Doug?

Zezryathalwin, Wood Elf Guardian of Kyonin for C-Rhino
A stocky, built wood elf with an olive skin tone and shortish curly brown hair, wearing thick wooden plate armor and leaning on a shield made of a thick green tree bark. Spanish moss grows from under the plates, and behind him are thick olive tree branches with leaves. An olive laurel clings to the side of his head.

Panel 1: As Damian drags his hands downward, Freya murmurs "I don't know about this..." Panel 2: Zooming in on Freya's hesitant face, one of the holes is revealed to be a peephole, with Skib's eye poking out. Panel 3: The button stands at the far end of the hall as the adventurers consider. Panel 4: Skib watches as an adventurer says "Let's go back to town." Panel 5: From inside the wall, Foreman Skib's gleeful face is illuminated by the peephole. "I think Damian needs a cleric..." Panel 6: Foreman Skib throws her arms and legs out in celebration, a big toothy smile on her face. FOREMAN SKIB DOES IT AGAIN!!

Panel 1: The perspective warps. A long hallway with walls that have holes in them stretches down, to the adventurers on the far side. A button sits in the foreground, waiting. One of the adventurers says "...That's a long way for a button." Panel 2: Freya shrugs, stepping forward but Lilith stops her, yelling "WAIT-" Panel 3: Lilith says to the others "The last room had traps, this one will have EVEN MORE." Damian looks sick. Panel 4: Lilith continues, pointing at the floor. "The whole floor looks like the spike trap in the entrance that you fell through." Panel 5: Damian puts a hand on the wall, looking worse. "And these walls have so many holes... Just like those poison darts..." Panel 6: Damian slumps to the floor, passing out.

Panel 1: Foreman Skib returns to the drawing board to strategize with her advisors. Teakettle on the left suggests a Tower of Hanoi puzzle. Her crewmate on the right suggests a Sudoku. A third voice pipes up. "Consider!" Panel 2: A spectacled goblin with a braid and a batlike nose says "I've created a phonetic cipher that can be used as a simple password-" She holds a booklet showing the goblin script and the roman script together. Panel 3: "We can put a riddle on the wall in the cipher so that they can parse the text." She points to a chalkboard that says "What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, and never in a thousand years?" Panel 4: She smiles, holding a tablet with the letter "M" on it. "The answer of course, will be one of the symbols, but their guesses can be parsed by an animated statue-" Panel 5: Teakettle and Skib are both confused. Teakettle: "What language is that? The riddle doesn't work in Common. Much less Goblin... Skib: "WHAT." Panel 6: Foreman Skib seems determined. "We have to get psychological." Teakettle has sparkles in their eyes.

Panel 1: Damian has somethin he wants to say. "Y'know..." Panel 2: He continues. "After the scary fight we all barely survived today, I have to confess..."  Freya and Lilith look at each other quizzically, the latter shrugging. Foreman Skib watches on. Panel 3: He looks stricken, sweating. "I'm Prince Damian Stormwind, the second prince of our kingdom." Panel 4: Freya confides similarly. "It's hard to tell, but I'm the half-blood daughter of the Gold Dragon Quinalathrax." It's not hard to tell she's a half dragon. Panel 5: Lilith the tiefling looks at the both of them as if hesitant to say something. "..." Panel 6: She joins the group hug, finally saying "It's painful when the way you were born affects your life." Foreman Skib rolls her eyes and gags. Panel 7: Skib stomps off, Teakettle walking backwards with them to maintain the conversation. "No night ambush." "But there's only three of them!" "HRGH." "Well then, what should we do instead?"

Panel 1: The captain commands the archers as they raise their bows. "Focusfire! Target the wizard!" Panel 2: Damian the wizard casts "Fireball!" blasting the archers even as arrows stick out of him like a pincushion. Panel 3: Freya catches up as Damian falls down, Lilith watching on as she slowly gets up. Panel 4: The Captain calls for a "RETREAT!" as Freya bares down, snapping an archer's bow. Panel 5: Freya flexes in victory. "I did it!" Below her, Lilith says "Damian is dying-" and Freya replies "This ain't about him." Panel 6,7: Lilith pours a health potion down Damian's throat, his eyes bugged out as he gasps for air. Panel 8: The adventurers celebrate while Damian recovers in the fetal position, calling that it's time to "LOOT!" Foreman Skib watches from the darkness.

Panel 1: A large panel showing the three antagonists: Freya an eager barbarian, Damian an ominous mage, and Lilith an edgy tiefling rogue. Panel 2: The barbarian falls into the spike pit, shocked. Lilith tries to edge around the pit to the square adjacent. Panel 3: The goblin crew peeks in from the exit to watch. They're stacked atop each other and whispering: "Is it working?" "Looks like..." Panel 4: Lilith sets off the feline statue trap, spraying a wide fan of fire at her. Panel 5: Exposition: Traps don't usually stop any tourists. They mostly just slow them down... Foreman Skib looks on from the archway. Panel 6: Exposition: ...For the Goblin archers!! Skib high-fives the archer captain as the archers emerge from the darkness. Skib's crew retreats.

Exposition: Not many people maintain the Crypt out here, so we do. Like the foremen before me adding their own touches. Top panel: An isometric grid layout showing a small hallway leading to a trapped room- a spike pit at the front, two stone feline statues, and a wall with small holes in it  on one side. Panel 2: Skib: "Floor swept?" Crew: "Yes ma'am!" Skib: "Corpse pulled from the pit?" Crew: "Yes ma'am!" Skib checks them off a list on her clipboard. "Loot placed" and "Poison darts installed" remain. Panel 3: Skib: "Loot planted?" Crew: Yes ma'am!" She holds a pen between her fingers. Panel 4: Skib: "Trapsmith Teakettle, how do the poison darts look?" Teakettle: "Installed and ready, Foreman Skib." Trapsmith Teakettle is a shorter goblin with a round face and soft features. They wear cargo shorts. Panel 5: Foreman Skib is interrupted as she says "Good, I- ...!" She points her ear upward as if hearing something. Panel 6: As Foreman Skib helps a crewmate out of the spike pit, she yells to the crew to "RUN!" Teakettle is surprised, and another crewmate is dragging a push broom toward the exit.

At long last, it's Foreman Skib and the Big Red Button!
Foreman Skib and the Big Red Button - by Basil Vesca. Exposition: THE CRYPT OF DOOM - Where now the Grand Archmage Yuzu lays in eternal rest... But we've been here this whole time. Three adventurers, a tall woman, a hooded figure, and a short tiefling enter a hill tomb, which shows multiple levels of archways and a crypt. Stairs give way to an underground river crossing and a small goblin child kicking a ball to Foreman Skib, a thin goblin with a ponytail tied back wearing simple constriction clothing, including a hi-vis vest.

"Knock Knock and Beep Beep" by Basil Vesca for Make a Terrible Comic Day 2026. First panel: "My name is Knock Knock! I am just a little boy." A simple black cat wearing a harness smiles at the camera. Second Panel: "I like to play with my strings." Knock Knock is laying down, front paws outstretched to play with a ribbon. Third Panel: "I live with another cat! Her name is Beep Beep. She is silly." He looks up at Beep Beep's tail hanging off a bed. Final panel: Beep Beep sits with tail up, haunted and stooped in shadow. A crawling narration flows behind her. "Day 56 - I fear that the brute returned to torment me. I live in this wretched place with no safe harbor of my own; should I make the great sojourn to the cat tower I fear I shall not survive. My life here hangs in the precarious balance created by great beings with strength and speed. I must keep my wits about me should I find I must remain vigilant, shrewd, and swift if I am to escape.
