I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.

A hand drawn eight panel cartoon. First two panels are a colander sitting frowning on a shelf. Then the colander is frowning straining pasta, then three more panels of frowning sitting on a shelf. Then a big panel where it's projecting a bunch of crescent eclipse shapes and smiling with speech bubbles around saying "Wow! Look! Amazing! Beautiful!" And then one final panel where it's sitting on a shelf smiling.

The Icelandic word for computer gets translated as "number prophetess" but it's more properly rendered "number völva". A völva is a female-only type of seer named after the distaffs they carried with them as their magic wands. Odin's time as a völva is part of how we know Odin was genderfluid.

A music store that carries as many available keyboards/synths as possible. It's tough to find a place where you can try everything that's available. You need to be able to not only hear the sounds but feel how the keyboard responds and what real-time controls it has.

Saw someone say the world is a boring place because there are no elves or dragons, so I'm legally obliged to share this:

Mason: Dad, there's no real magic in the world, right?
Dad: What do you mean?
Mason: You know, like elves and stuff. People just made that up.
Dad: Oh, I don't know. I mean, what makes you think that elves are any more magical than something like a whale? Yoy know what I mean? What if I told you a story about how underneath the ocean, there was this giant sea mammal that used sonar and sang songs and it was so big that its heart was the size of a car and you could crawl through the arteries? I mean, you'd think that was pretty magical, right?

A smartphone is on an end table. It's balancing up on end, and speaking, so maybe it's animate? This is unclear.

SMARTPHONE: Hey! HEY!

The phone is speaking to PORDLEY, who is trying to practice the piano. He looks up at the phone which is addressing him on its own.

SMARTPHONE: I can't help but notice you've been holding me less. I MISS you. I miss your nimble TAPS and SWIPES.

PORDLEY: It's because you're a PORTAL to HORRORS! Nothing personal. It's just...you ARE a PORTAL. And there are SO VERY MANY horrors.

SMARTPHONE: I'm a portal to EVERYTHING. Don't you want to see GOOFS AND SPOOFS? You LOVE goofs and spoofs!

PORDLEY: I DO love goofs and spoofs.

SMARTPHONE: I've got SO MANY goofs and spoofs.

Pordley, convinced, reaches tentatively for the phone...

HORRORS ERUPT FROM THE PHONE. Of course! Of course!!!
