So ready for a booming industry of in-game nature photographers. No interest in crime, just taking pictures of birds.

Something deep inside me told me I should draw Donkey Kong today.
A four panel comic titled "Hours, Bananas, Doors."
Donkey Kong awakens staring at himself in a mirror, then stares down at his hand as he notices a strange watch on his wrist.
Staring at his wrist, the watch turns out to be one of the numbered bracelets from 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors from the Zero Escape series. It's Junpei's bracelet. For some reason.
Peach then asks a confused Donkey Kong, "Donkey Kong? Have you ever heard of the Parallel Banana Theory?"

Somebody's job is just to do Jeff Foxworthy jokes for the niche industry that hired them for today's corporate presentation. If your To Read pile is on top of your To Read pile... you might be a book editor. If you ever wonder about the daily routine for a moth... you might be a lepidopterist.

The Muppets Take The Marvel Universe is a good comic book.
A variety of Muppets characters and Marvel Superheroes are gathering in Avengers Tower. Fozzie Bear says "Sorry, T'Challa. Did you say you're from Wocka Wockanda?!" Black Panther responds "Just... Wakanda."

This is the most “written by A.I.” copy I’ve ever read in my life. (I also enjoyed writing the alt text for THIS post)
An instagram post of two cover images from Avengers Armageddon, revealing that David Colton is the new Miracle Man. The copy below it is two paragraphs long but doesn’t say anything about the content, just generally being like “wow, people sure are talking about this topic! This topic seems to be very highly discussed at the moment. How do you feel about this topic?”

It always bothers me when video games give comic book superhero costumes unnecessary padding, but it feels particularly egregious in the case of Wolverine. The dude heals from everything and is already weighed down by a metal skeleton.

Reposting this one from the old site for no raisin.
A three-panel scene from an episode of Adventure Time in which Finn encounters a Demon Cat.

Demon Cat: Greetings, Frank the Human Boy.
Finn: How did you almost know my name?
Demon Cat: As an AI language model, I have approximate knowledge of many things.

Meta using David Bowie’s “Five Years” in a commercial about AI being good for everyone is possibly the most tone-deaf advertising choice since the Pepsi ad where Kendall Jenner stopped a protest (at the height of the Black Lives Matter movement) by handing the police officers a can of cola.

Designed for shenanigans, in the best of ways, the songs on ‘Thunder, Lightning, Strike’ are participatory, demanding you get up and “shake your derriere” and “rock this place.”
