Real estate agent image stating "There's nothing we haven't seen or sold before". Considering they didn't think twice about leaving Chucky in the bedroom corner on one of the property photos they uploaded, this is a most appropriate slogan.

Haven't watched this movie, but this immediately reminded me of Franquin's 1972 strip, where cartoon character Gaston Lagaffe repairs a chainsaw so well it starts by itself. Also art ;)

1972 comic strip by André Franquin. Gaston Lagaffe receives the visit of his farmer friend at the publishing house he works at. Farmer is handling a chainsaw well away from his body, says he's afraid of it since Gaston fixed it: it turns on by itself and is bound to cause an accident. The chainsaw springs to life and proceeds to cut the floor neatly around Gaston's desk on the 6th floor, and then the 5th, with scared employees jumping on the desk and sure to fall through all the way down to the ground floor and the basements.

Had to. #penguins #conservation www.penguinsinternational.org

Bloom County's one and only Opus, the eternally anxious and thoroughly idealist penguin, looking straight at you in his patented red bowtie and giving you his most innocent smile, with the words "everything's fine" written on his chest and belly. Underneath this endearing picture, his name OPUS, and the legend on a bright orange background: "most vulnerable".

I'm so confused.

Screenshot of attempted reply informs me that the post I'm replying to was marked by the author as being in French when clearly it's written in English.
