First panel of today's Swan Boy. Crystal is telling Cassie about how she shot a cowboy's head off. This comic ultimately DOES pass the Bechdel test even though it appears to be playing chicken with it here.

Someone told me a while back that every year they offer this to R.L. Stine and every year he politely declines so they can give it to someone who maybe needs it more than he does. If true, it really speaks to his humility as a writer and kindness as a human being. Don't know if it's true though.

I do really enjoy the league being all "we should reduce the schedule for player health." I wonder why the schedule so fucking packed to begin with. Hm, what could it be

this was inevitable as the league seeks to constantly expand playoffs and the schedule is squeezed to within an inch of its life. Fewer regular season games would also be an argument to pay players less, and playoffs are the more efficient payout of owners, so of course they'd seek to expand it

Seems like if you're going to make a national story out of Hasan Piker, who campaigned a few times with the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, saying Israel causes antisemitism, you should also make a national story out of the favorite intellectual of the US Vice President supporting Hitler.

GM: NOW I KNOW ONE OF YOU BASTARDS IS A SECRET "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE" SENT HERE TO KILL THE REST OF US.
GM: AND *WE AIN'T LEAVING THIS ROOM* UNTIL WE FIND HIM…AND KILL 'EM!

PANEL 2: Three more CREWMEN respond.

CREWMAN 3: ME TOO! I SWEAR!
CREWMAN 4: HEY, HOW DO WE KNOW *YOU* AIN'T IT?

PANEL 3: Back on the GRIZZLED MAN, who pricks his arm with knife, dripping a small amount of blood.
GM: PLEASE.
GM: HOW ABOUT THE NEW GUY. YOU'RE AWFULLY QUIET.

PANEL 4: Just to the right of CREWMAN 3, a COMPUTER MONITOR is on the table, with a pixelated emoticon smiley face on it.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a woman pushing a shopping cart into a grocery store. In the baby seat of the shopping cart is an unusual orange creature with a trunk and antennae. The security guard standing in the doorway says, “ma’am, you can’t bring that in here.” Panel 2: the woman turns around and gestures at the creature. She says, “come on… he’s not hurting anyone.” Panel 3: the security guard points matter-of-factly at a sign on the wall behind him. The sign reads in bold red letters, “NO SHNOOBS. NO EXCEPTIONS.” It features a picture of an identical orange creature, the humble shnoob.
