this has been on my mind: i used to think the good guys outnumbered the bad guys. as i have grown i came to see the reality is that there are also fearful/inactive guys, those who see themselves as not bad, but won't take action when it is needed. it saddens me how few men of character there are.

artists, quote with your art with some shadows...
inkwash illustration by DW (Dærick) Gröss for Edge Of Midnight TTRP, 2006.

image is of a woman in a dark room with striking, film-noir inspired shadows.  she dominates the foreground, a strong light source from her hand as she uses some form of magic or energy from her fingers to try and start up an old-timey flashlight.  her hair and clothing suggests this is sometime in the 1940s.

i started up volume 2 of my #Trumpy satire strip as a means to cope with the cruelty and stupidity that we could see coming in the early days of this second term. it's not working. he has inundated us with such a torrent of ongoing stupidity that i can't keep up. tidbits like this👇 just set me off

watching the most recent @kurzgesagt.org video, i'm left thinking of my poor Krell. after a million years of shining sanity, they could hardly have understood what power was destroying them... Kurzgesagt's youtube video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW_j...
comic book page from Innovation Comic's adaptation of Forbidden Planet, issue #3 (1992).  Commander Adams, Dr Ostrow, and Dr Morbius discuss the implications of Krell technology and why Dr Morbius seeks to hid it from mankind, when a message comes in alerting the commander that Chief Quinn was murdered rather horrifically.  Morbius ends the page with the ominous statement "...it has started again...".

The art is all painted by hand by illustrator Dærick Gröss. Sr., capturing the look of the characters from the original 1956 movie.panel from the comic mini series Forbidden Planet based on the movie.  this panel is a closeup of Dr Morbius as he holds his hands to his head, raging at the realization that the monsters are an extension of his own id.

his voice balloons read: "kill me!  kill me!  i am guilty and now my punishment is that i cannot even save my own child!  my evil self is at that door, and i have no power to stop it!"

a brief story while i'm waiting: at the Games this weekend a spectator calls me over and thinks he's being clever asking me if there are any men throwing in the women's class (making a snide trans reference) i simply said "look, we're all wearing skirts and no one is checking what's underneath..."
