Tolerating the felon's behavior is very bad for our mental health. He ignores the advice of experts in their fields. He disregards the public's needs. He blames everyone except himself. He is NOT a leader. He is a child. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

It would be awesome if we had a Health Secretary that was focused on stopping the measles outbreak or funding cancer research or lowering drug costs. Instead, RFK is spending his days spreading lies about people with autism. Disgusting, disrespectful and dangerous.

Panel 1: A jester is pointing ahead of him along a woodland path, where two armed figures stand. He says "Bandits up ahead!"

Panel 2: The jester takes out a lute and, smiling, says "I'll distract them with a song" to somebody to his right.

Panel 3: The person to his right is a warrior, looking to the left back at the jester, throwing a demonstrative punch, and saying "and I'LL sneak up and knock them out!" He is also smiling. The vibes are good and they're ready to work as a team.

Panel 4: The warrior now shifts his gaze to his right and asks "What are YOU gonna do, wizard??"

Panel 5: There is a wizard covered in blood, and viscera, with parts of his cloak charred and a small fire still burning on one part. He says "I already did it!"

Game Logic - Gator Days
Panel 1

Gustopher is playing a classic game as his Dad watches. Mewbert is also supervising.

August: Crouch three times and punch the wall for a health item.

Gustopher: How did you know that?

Panel 2

August begins the explain the logic of older games. Mewbert gets bored and something is behind the couch.

August: Older games can be weird but they start making sense after you play enough.

Gustopher: Oh... Okay.

Panel 3

Mewbert falls asleep.

Gustopher: Now I'm stuck.

Panel 4

August provides some of his wisdom and Mewbert is suddenly awakened.

August: Combine the mayo with the flute and give it to the crying squid while crouching.

Gustopher: THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU?

It also turns out the crouching does nothing. August just happened to crouch a lot when he played the game and assumed that was an important element.
