DO NOT SEEK THE TREASURE One of my favorite scenes from O Brother Where Art Thou. I figured I should try to draw all 3 of the Soggy bottom boys, why not. #art #comic
🍳 A messy comic of a scene from O Brother Where Art Thou. Delmar and Everett are in a movie theater looking behind them in their seats. Delmar is saying " We thought you was a Toad" to a confused looking Pete (surrounded by question marks).

Imperial Clergy
Two imperial priests from Warhammer 40k. One inspects a large book with a serene expression, the other swings a incense burned made from a skull. Two cherubs float above their heads.

now with alt-text
The incident fits a broader pattern in the discourse around 'free speech' and 'cancel culture': whatever comes from the top down is freedom; whatever comes from the bottom up is bullying and censorship. When Macklemore is dropped at the behest of the billionaire stadium owner Robert Kraft, it's an exercise of the freedom of businesses to 'demonstrate their values' by deciding whom to platform. But when Ed Sheeran's fans decide not to buy tickets to his performances, or even demand refunds, it's bullying, mob behaviour. Since most people are not billionaires and do not own stadiums, they can exercise meaningful power only collectively. The collective exercise of power must therefore be demonised.

A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”

Texas shattered energy demand records this summer. Here's why the grid held up.
Texas repeatedly broke electricity demand records this summer, but ERCOT avoided emergencies as booming solar and battery capacity helped keep the grid stable.

The cover of A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear: the Utopian Plot to Liberate an American Town (and Some Bears) by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling, featuring a graphic outline of a bear over which is imposed a New England town skyline in red. A very funny and depressing book that has probably become much, much more depressing since I read it

Robo isn't having much luck against the mystery monster www.atomic-robo.com/atomicrobo/1...
The first two panels from today's page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE NEO GENETIC EVOLUTION.

Panel 1: Close shot on The Monster kinda crushing and twisting Robo's head in an attempt to kill him. But The Monster's attention turns to something off-panel (it's Alan grabbing the gun from the previous page).

Panel 2: The Monster throws Robo into the background like a bag of wet garbage. He does this with enough force that Robo shatters the tree he hits.

There is something so unbelievably bleak about an article that calmly walks readers through how to navigate being laid off after 50, losing your health insurance, and somehow surviving the years until Medicare. What a broken country.

Alan and Robo getting sorta clowned upon by the Not Yonkers Devil in today's page! www.atomic-robo.com/atomicrobo/1...
The first three panels of today's page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE NEO GENETIC EVOLUTION!

PANEL 1:
The Monster leaps out of frame! It's coming right at our heroes in the foreground.

ROBO:
Watch out!

PANEL 2:
The Monster slams a fist right on Robo's head — luckily, our metal man of mettle has fought monsters before and has barely blocked the blow.

SFX (impact):
BOOOM

Panel 3:
Close on Robo's boots grinding into the ground as he's forced back from the force of the impact.
