I used to counter complaints about wasting resources on things like this with "so what's the going market rate for a human life these days?". I guess I shouldn't be surprised that their response was to actually make up a number rather than, you know, realize they were and are being monstrous.

Pen and watercolor 

Cowboys again. This time one of our boys has lost his boots. Standing in a field of long grass the cowboy points towards the ground and shouts back to his colleague, “Lil bone people got muh boots.” This makes no sense to the other cowboy who sits atop his horse away from the action. He responds, “Lil wut?” Sure enough in the foreground we see a squad of little bone people scampering through the grass with the stolen cowboy boots. They’re thrilled. How the bone people got the boots off the cowboy is unclear.

Artist’s note: I tend to draw drawings from the same perspective (straight on) most of the time. This idea came about when I was goofin around trying to draw a character from a lower angle. I like that the story unfolds with the foreground, mid-ground, and background all working together. There’s a draft of this one included in the Spooky Pants book. Coming out next week!

🎃
A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

The internet allowed millions (perhaps billions) of people to discover that when confronted by being factually incorrect, they could simply decide not to be wrong.

The single most important thing to understand about digital futurism is this: When the tech barons’ predictions about the future fail to come true, they don’t have to give the money back.

It's a repeating trend that a lot of problems in the modern tech/finance industry could have been avoided by requiring the humanities for STEM and business majors. Introspection and morals are good things as it turns out.

Same thing happened with SBF. Kind of guys who get upset when they discover they're not instantly good at the "smart person" game and rather than, you know, practicing or just moving on, they launch into huge diatribes about how its a stupid game anyway and only chumps play it.

Modern executives do not want to be in whatever industry their company inhabits. Instead, they just want to run financial tricks and fuck around with the company's stock searching for infinite money glitches. The idea of focusing on a company's primary product is antiquated by today's standards.

If you don't tell artists and writers that you like their work, the message they get from that is that posting is pointless.

It goes without saying but just in case: You absolutely do not have to hand it to JK Rowling. Even if she DID mean what she says about trans adults (which she doesn't, she is constantly attacking trans adults just trying to live their lives) it doesn't mean anything given the HARM she has caused
