Much like a print you can hang on your walls, this Buttercup Festival art can be hung on your torso in the form of a shirt! Perfect for any occasion, especially contemplating the universe & talking to plants. 🌲 Topa.to/buttercupfestival | buttercupfestival.com | by @buttercupfestival.bsky.social 🦋

A light red shirt featuring a drawing of Buttercup Festival's protagonist sitting on a boulder in a field, watching a bird fly. There are big billowing clouds behind them. In the background of the graphic is a watercolor painting, also done by David Troupes, of the main character in an orange grassy forest.

PANEL 06: TOILET PAPER BEAR turns around, revealing a horrible wad of toilet paper and poo on his butt. The image is censored because it's so gross. JEFFREY KNEELS. HOLLY is exasperated.

TOILET PAPER BEAR: But we bears poo in the woods. How would that work?
JEFFREY: Leave that to me!

PANEL 09: THE NEXT DAY. Jeffrey is injured and disheveled with a moose bladder and hose hooked up to a stump.
… so you fill this moose bladder with water and when y ou're done pooing you stomp on it and it'll squirt water out of this stump

A thought for the morning:

Book passage reading: "To think of the dark and tenacious rainforests in terms of the diversity we say is necessary to natural systems is useful to the conservationist, but it is not enough. We who spend our lives guided only by terms and categories, endless facts and numbers, have not yet recognized the depths that would, if they could, help us out of our simplicity, the lack of diversity in ourselves. The great tropical message is inclusion. The forests, with their endlessly varied functions and differences in form, are statements as to the total involvement of life. They are the original grounds of life's inventions, a great drawing in of all kinds of possibilities, over endless time. Without them, we lose not only their incomparable species but the foundation of shared existence." -John Hay, The Immortal Wilderness

Daily bunny no.3411 is going up

A bunny is climbing a giant beanstalk, as in "Jack and the beanstalk". He looks down while standing on a leaf, seeing the ground far below. Clouds surround the beanstalk, and there is still a long way left to climb.

T-Rex: Attention, everyone! It is high time we had a conversation...

T-Rex: ...about the NATURAL LIMITS OF FOODSTUFFS.

T-Rex: Look, we all like a REASONABLY-tall burger, but when you add SO MUCH to it that it can no longer fit inside a mouth - what are we doing?! That burger is no longer able to be grasped by two hands and chomped upon, WHICH IS THE DEFINING FEATURE OF A BURGER. You've pushed it too far, and produced something NEW: a DEGENERATE CASE OF BURGER!!

Utahraptor: Like how a ladder is - famously - a degenerate case of stairs!
T-Rex: EXACTLY!

T-Rex: Make stairs steep enough and GUESS WHAT - they STOP being stairs, and they start being LADDERS!! I had a taco whose soft shell, EVEN IF PROPERLY CONFIGURED, would reach but a FIFTH of the way up the sides of its filling! That's no longer a taco. That's a tall salad on an edible floppy plate.

T-Rex: Please don't deliver your degenerate cases of food unto me and watch as I'm forced, LIVE and IN PUBLIC, to devise a way to reasonably consume it.
T-Rex: *sigh*
T-Rex: The burger, the taco, AND MINE OWN BODY have natural limits which must be respected!!

could the ultimate experience of flesh TRULY be made manifest before me? forsooth, by mine own actions?? qwantz.com/index.php?co...

T-Rex: People are like "oh, shower beers! You gotta try a beer in the shower! SHOWER BEERS!!"

T-Rex: Not everyone is like that, but those who are seem to be trying to make up for everyone else!

T-Rex: So I've taken them at their word. I have partaken of a SHOWER BEER, Dromiceiomimus.
Dromiceiomimus: And? How was it?
T-Rex: It was a gateway drug!
Dromiceiomimus: Oh no!

T-Rex: Not to more shower BEERS - but to other shower FOODSTUFFS!
Utahraptor: Oh no!

T-Rex: No, "oh YES!". Utahraptor: SHOWER FRIES.
Utahraptor: Sounds soggy. And awful.
T-Rex: Shower soup?
Utahraptor: Diluted and awful.
T-Rex: SHOWER ICE CREAM SANDWICH.

Off panel: ...the water would aid in cleanup - plus the contrast between cold in your mouth and warm on your body would only heighten enjoyment??
Off panel: I need to go experience this right now, lest I perish before the ultimate experience of flesh is made manifest before me??
