It’s one of those things that sometimes painting stuff in less realistic colours makes it look more “right”.

But We Mustn't Ruin HIS Life By me and @postcardsbybecky.bsky.social Read more cartoons! —> #Policartoon Support the cartoons! —>patreon.com/barry

Four-panel cartoon with a tiny kicker panel below.

PANEL 1. A Black delivery worker stands beside her van, holding a package. She looks downcast.

WOMAN: Everywhere I went I was terrified I’d run into **him**. I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t concentrate…
WOMAN: After I failed two classes I lost my scholarship.

PANEL 2. A girl in pink sits on a bicycle on a residential street, looking down.

GIRL: He sent the video to everyone in school. **Everyone**. I had to be homeschooled until I could get into a different school.

PANEL 3. A woman sits in an apartment armchair, holding a baby who pats her face. She looks sad.

WOMAN: It’s been ten years… My therapist says PTSD isn’t ever cured, but it’s something I can learn to manage.

PANEL 4. A hand holds a phone showing a male podcaster at a microphone.

MAN: Nobody feels worse than me about what happened — but we can’t ruin these young men’s lives!

KICKER. The podcaster speaks with Barry, the cartoonist.

BARRY: What sort of thing would “ruin their lives”?
MAN: Being expelled. Or being publicly criticized. Or made to switch dorms. Or to switch a class. Basically, anything he might notice.

If you have a mad monarch, a Caligula, then with hereditary systems, the next one has a chance of beinging better. Not guaranteed , but a chance If your whole systemic geared so that only mad monarchs have a chance to succeed, no matter what you call them, I think you are in trouble

Not all the Dwarves, not all the orcs, but almost all my metal ones (Orc chariot & mounted shaman missing), Fantasy Warriors armies out for examination Certainly there is a Dwarf Giant Cannon not there amongst the metals Should repaint rebase some of the dwarves

Many lines of plastic and metal dwarves being spied on by two goblins at a rock, banners both original and conversions, mostly spear or axe armed, a few hammers

Two lines of orcs, spears, archers, commander, hand weapons in metal and plastic

Some old work as I am looking through my Grenadier Fantasy warriors Dwarves and Orcs, two figures, mildly adapting axe from 2 H to 1 H (honest) and a couple of banners em4 plastic dwarves

5 dwarf figures, one with standard draped from crossbar, one spear and shield, one axe and shield, one with 2 handed axe, one with banner flying from axe headed banner pole

Behind them, hills occupied by more armoured dwarves
