This three panel sight gag from early on in @rainbowrowell.bsky.social's She-Hulk omnibus is so *elegantly* funny, I'm in awe of it. Having a good time with this book.

Panel 1: Jen Walters fully in frame, looking angry. Panel 2: Jen's feet, kicking her high heels off. Panel 3: Jen still looking angry, but now we only see the top of her head.

The pixels make it look like you're seeing a slithering deer partially obscured by a chain link fence, that's why it's called dithering.

There is a distinct and disappointing absence of Garbage Plate representation in the comments, and I aim to remedy that. (photo from a user on Yelp, it's not letting me see who at the moment)

It's not much in the grand scheme of things, but I'm the one who inspired the people on Polygon's Car Boys to go from "crashing cars into each other" to full on "vehicular body horror nihilism"

Karin's use of the phrase "jumped the shark" in an article strongly implies that The Fonz canonically exists in the Fear & Hunger universe.

It makes me so unreasonably happy that Goku is back. And it's classic hair Goku, too!

I hate that I finally caved to all their video sponsorships, but I can't be mad at Brilliant for basically making grown up Gizmos and Gadgets

I can't find the cool drawing of athleisure Hella Varal that I did a while back, but here's Kota Ibushi as @swandre3000.bsky.social's Figure In Bismuth after it was revealed that the character had a really strong core to support his heavy mineral head. #fattrewind #friendsatthetable

I don't know if the lesbians of the world are ready for the power of you in a ringmaster (ringmistress?) suit. But it's a risk that I think we'd be willing to take.

I haven't really done anything (directly) with my animation degree, but sometimes I'll watch stuff and be struck with how much wild shit you can do. I just recently watched Madoka Magica for the first time and wouldn't shut up about all the cool mixed media collage and pixilation they did.

Few things have made me feel quite as 37 years old as this T_T Also there's something funny about 10-11* of my 12 selections being Big Common Shows That Most People Watched and the other being School Days *Higurashi When They Cry being the 11th that could go either way

I watched 12/227 anime from the past 19 years. I hate that School Days is one of them, but here we are.
