Curse my phone and its excellent camera—here's the video of the little guy from yesterday, now properly compressed for social media. I hope he had a nice evening, even if it was his last.

While out walking, I met a friend who was courting suicide by sidewalk. He had no intention of of moving, and no problem sitting on my hand for a while as he weighed being dropped off upon the nearby tree.
A big fuckin cicada.

Finally got to play frisbee this year. My favourite outdoor activity, and one of the only I’m good at. And of course I am—do you suppose *this guy* likes frisbee? 🥏🤘✨

Picked up a set of mid-century pocket binoculars today, perfect for #birding! Funny way to spell Sony, though.

I can't remember if I've ever alerted @rustyandco.bsky.social to the fact that the lovable bug himself technically makes an appearance in RS202, if you squint. #webcomics
An unlabeled bottle, perhaps of alcohol, and a hardbound first edition of Rusty & Co, published in the original sylph. For the man who has everything.

I've always provided his album art (including the above), but I like this one in particular, featuring an extremely accurate portrait of the man himself. 2018.

One of my favourite 'weird' layout decisions in RS was this 'six-axis camera' panel from the beginning of Act 2—and I'm overjoyed to announce that enough time has passed that it's time to trot it out again.
RS087, wherein Hel convinces Ro and Zyr to suit up and defend Llyri from thrall incursion, despite they are only initiates. Note panel 2's strange upside-down camera, which totally fucks.
