A TWONKS cartoon.
In the first panel, a line of portapotties with a photo booth at the end of the line. There's a fellow in the photo booth with the curtain closed an his pants down.

In the second panel there's a photo strip, as if from a photo booth. 
The first photo shows a guy with his eyes closed, maybe straining. In the second photo, the guy's expression changes to surprise. In the third photo, the guy looks at the camera. In the fourth photo, the guy has his hand over his face as he has recognized his mistake.

My weird plant is flowering again. And not just a normal flower, a "throw this out at a weird angle" flower. This is the second time in three years. It never flowered when my SIL had it. I call it "Spike" or "Ouch!".

Then they said that my drawings of tablets and cell phones don't look "realistic" enough and send me a photo of a cell phone that's basically just a black rounded rectangle with a grey dot representing the camera, and a grey box representing the screen. Everything is just rounded rectangles now.

Sometimes life needs a "skip intro" button.
A Twonks comic strip.

In the first panel, there's a group of 5 people getting ready to have a meeting and the leader of the meeting says, "Let's go round the room and introduce ourselves."

In the second panel the leader says, "Starting with you," and looking at the person sitting in the chair next to them.

In the third panel the person in the chair looks down and sees a "skip intro" button, and, with a small smile, presses it.

In the fourth panel everyone is smiling now and the leader of the meeting says, "OK, let's start the meeting."

With all the crazy schit going on in the world today, I sometimes forget that I live a literal stone's throw from the Pacific Ocean… Have a pic from yesterday when I walked almost 10km to my bro's house to cut the grass. Between walking there, walking back, and cutting the grass, over 12000 steps…

A four-panel Anakin-Padme Meme:

1st panel, Anakin says, "A judge has ordered the Trump Administration to pay companies back for the illegal tariffs collected."

2nd panel, a smiling Padme says, "And those companies are going to refund the consumers who paid those tariffs on what they bought, right?"

3rd panel, Anakin stares at Padme.

4th panel, a more serious Padme repeats, "Those companies will refund the tariffs back to consumers… right?"

A comic strip written by James Miller (jamesmarkmiller.bsky.social)

In the first panel, a young girl who is looking at a unconscious bird on the ground says, "Oracle, how can I live forever?"

In the second panel the Oracle is gently holding the bird and says, "Be difficult to forget."

In the third to sixth panels the girl says, 
"How?" 
"Should I create art?"
"Should I be famous?"
"Or powerful?"

The Oracle has been working on the bird while the girl was talking, the bird glows with magic.

In the final panel they release the bird, now flying away, and the Oracle says, "You should be kind."
