Almost every hobby or passtime I've had my entire life - comic books, action figures, trading cards, personal computers, even *the movies* - has been consumed by a bunch of gambling addicts desperate for some new speculative market and we should make gambling illegal because it's their fucking turn

You knew this was coming

A sketch of my original character, Kring, wearing the floor-length dress in the post I have quoted. The outer fabric is velvety, trimmed with golden suns and stars. The sleeves are poofy and made from a sparkly fabric, matching the inner skirt and the front of the strapless bodice. Kring is swaying the skirt as they look romantically at their girlfriend. She isn't in the sketch physically, but there is a small speech bubble next to Kring of her with heart eyes and her fins, which she has instead of hands, clasped together). Kring's hair is braided back into two space buns with sun charms dangling down from them. They have a lip piercing, sun shaped stud earrings, and a choker with a moon charm.

"You couldn't make a Mel Brooks movie today!" Of course not, nobody would give a Jewish veteran with a controversial Black comedian co-writer, both of whom have overt anti-fascist politics in their acts, a budget to make a parody of a genre nobody watches anymore.

Here's what they don't tell you about woodpecker tongues: Some of them are barbed (pileated & downy 'peckers) to allow them to spear insects. The barbs are keratinized, so *hard*. Meaning woodpecker *threat displays* can involve poking an interloper with a barbed tongue. (📷: u/ElvisIsNotDjed)

Comic tip for artists who struggle with layouts or making each page not so same-y: be less literal about where your characters are sometimes. Become more artsy with emotions they feel or information they share, you don't need them standing in the same room/position like a scene from a movie

It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.
