If the crew of the Nostromo had been unionized, Alien would have been 15 minutes long.

It's not fair that POTUS can get away with this when every day the rest of us must resist the urge to dox a senator as part of a plot to seize control over time itself.

A comic from @smoothdunk2.bsky.social, which I have clipped to three panels. A purple man is reading something on his laptop. Something horrific. He recoils. Then, without looking at the screen, carefully closes the laptop.

Just caught an encore screening of Avengers Endgame Y'all, they added a new post credits screen where Mark Ruffalo is talking into a camcorder and then he pretends to be scared of an off screen Doom. I'm pretty sure they threw that whole thing together on a Saturday afternoon

Tom Cochrane jamming out in the music video for "Life is a Highway." He appears to be in a remote area, far from any highway. A strange creative choice. I bet cocaine was involved. It was the early 90's after all.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

In the credits epilogue for 9 to 5, we learn that Dolly Parton's character quit her job to become a country-western singer, so I can only assume that the entire movie is autobiographical with the names changed to protect the innocent.

I haven't been keeping up with pop music of any genre. I've been too busy jamming out to Klingon bluegrass.
Klingon Doomgrass, which is bluegrass music but in Klingon and most of the songs are about Kahless

... All our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying fuck-all.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Shakespeare's plays were often based on earlier source material. Not mentioned in this article is that Eggers's The Northman reconstructs an earlier version of Hamlet, as a tale of Norse betrayal revenge. If Eggers is doing Romeo and Juliet in Old English, we're getting an Angles vs Saxons feud

I could never be put in charge of Star Trek because I would make a show with a Moopsy on the bridge crew and it would be okay most of the time because of The Precautions, but there would be one "Pon Farr" episode per season, as a treat

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.

We've had the "First they came for the..." poem for decades now, yet TERFs never seem to think it applies to their favored genre(s) of bigotry. Hatred rots both the soul and the brain. You'd get less brain damage playing in the NFL.

Watching A New Hope immediately after Andor/Rogue One makes Luke Skywalker feel less like The Chosen One and more like a whiny nepo baby. He shows up at the last minute, he didn't do any of the homework, but he gets all the credit anyway because he inherited wizard powers from Space Hitler.

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.

Happy Batman Day
A comic book panel (very real) that has been slightly edited (let's see if you can figure out how). It's dark and the rain is coming down in sheets, the water sliding off Batman's suit. The dark knight is staring at something in the distance, his expression grim. "This is where I watched my parents die, Raphael." Behind him is Raphael. The teenage mutant ninja turtle. (This is not the part of the panel that has been edited.) "Cowabummer," Raphael replies.

Paramount’s new logo goes crazy!
A photo of a computer screen running photoshop. It’s a 90s Paramount studio logo with the arc of stars surrounding a mountain, but covering the mountain and flowing into the valley below is the greasy black sludge of Armus, the sentient evil byproduct of an ancient species. The script font says Mount Armus. Below that in a sans serif font it says A Dank + Vile company.

Humaning.
A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a Northern Cardinal and American Goldfinch perch above a busy crowd in a city, looking down. The cardinal says "It's a nice day to go humaning." The goldfinch says "Just look at them. Majestic." In panel 2, a close-up of the two birds. The cardinal says "Nobody tells you that you'll reach a certain age and suddenly get into humaning. I hit 3 years old, and then bam."The birds are looking out over the crowd scene. In panel 3, the cardinal says "Their calls sound funny to us, but each one has a unique meaning." Below, people are saying various things: "I'm tired." "Where's my phone?" "I'd murder a burrito." In panel 4, the birds look down excitedly at a man walking by. The cardinal says "Wait, is that a guy who got dressed in the dark and put his shirt on inside out and backwards?" And the goldfinch exclaims, "Holy... that's a lifer!"

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title for the first two panels is "Young Me".
In panel one we see a young version of Sarah, the protagonist. She says, "I want to achieve great things".
In panel two we zoom in a little on young Sarah's face. She continues, "An astounding career! An amazing house! World peace!"
The title for the last two panels is "Adult Me".
In panel three we see adult Sarah, looking down.
In panel four we zoom out and see she is in front of a basil plant. She simply says "I want to grow a basil plant".
