A guy says to his mechanic "Hey Fran, my 1950's Studebaker is making a weird noise." The car sounds out "booum da hu da hmmh da hoon da ina." Fran opens the hood and says "well, there's your problem." A pleasant man with piercing, a beard and dreadlocks sits near the engine. Frank remarks "Jonathan Davis from Korn is under the hood."

Three panel comic. Panel 1: 5 million years ago - a bunch of bedbugs lounge around in a living room, looking totally bored. Panel 2: another bedbug excitedly bursts through the front door and exclaims, “someone invented beds!” Panel 3: one of the bedbugs looks over their shoulder at the other and says, “you’re joking”

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.

THE HEAVENS—Her heart breaking when she discovered the Almighty fumbling over the most basic words on the page in front of Him, country music icon and noted humanitarian Dolly Parton was reportedly troubled to discover Wednesday that God was illiterate. “I just about washed off my makeup from crying when I saw the Lord struggle to sound out my name in the Book of Life, but now I’m thinking I might’ve been called here for a reason,” said Parton, adding that it was never too late to learn to read, not even if someone existed before the creation of the universe itself.

They're going to tear down the building that formerly housed the diner where David Wells once stabbed a guy with a fork. The landmark commission was very nasty to me when I tried to make this case.
A fucked up building in my neighborhood that is being demolished after a decade of being vacant. All the windows are gone and the sky is patchy blue.

4 panel comic featuring a red guy and a yellow guy.

Panel 1: Red guy: How can you be smiling when a man has been shot dead?

Panel 2: Yellow guy: His company policies denied vital medical care to those who needed it. He profited off the death and misery of thousands of vulnerable people

Panel 3: Yellow guy produces a white sheet of paper and says: Here’s a photo of him while he was doing it

Panel 4: Yellow guy is holding a photo of a man with a huge smile on his face

Funny thing about LLMs-as-judge is, if you spend time trying to use them in legal analysis, you come right back around to one of the first things lawyers learn in law school: The way a question is framed can change everything.
Careful assessments of these interpretive uses converge on a sobering conclusion: the machine does not eliminate judgment; it relocates it. In the most thorough evaluation of LLM-assisted constitutional interpretation to date, Andrew Coan and Harry Surden found that model outputs are highly sensitive to prompt framing, to the choice among competing models, and to the stochastic variation inherent in text generation, such that the same interpretive question can yield materially different answers depending on choices the human interrogator makes.237 Interpretation by LLM therefore implicates the same theoretical disputes between formalism and realism that its proponents imagined they could bypass. The interpreter’s discretion does not disappear; it migrates into the prompt, the selection of the model, and the decision about which output to credit. Coan and Surden describe the result as a law of conservation of judgment: an LLM may perform any given task better or worse than a human, but the choice whether and how to use it is itself a normative judgment that no computational system can make on our behalf.238 The objectivity that machine interpretation appears to offer is, in this sense, a redistribution of subjectivity, moved out of the published opinion, where it is visible and reviewable, and into framing choices, where it is neither.
