Want. Need.

Peter "Skinny Pete" Johnson never dreamed he would end up mummified. But it was the warmest he'd ever been.

Oh, neato! Too bad I'm late to the party.

In tonight's game of ZSF, space cocaine golems were successfully combined with baking soda, causing them to crack apart. I call that a success.

As in I love it

The soft textures and contrasts kill me.

Oh wow!

Caza! Wowza

I love Aragones so much.

Topical. Too bad no one cares.

Those cereal Os are gonna be so soggy!

Man: Doc, I feel like I'm dying.
Doc: Well let's check you out. Do you smoke?
Man: No.
Doc: Drink?
Man: No.
Doc: Run with women?
Man: No.
Doc: Well what the hell you wanna live for anyway?

My stepdad's favorite joke. He's been dead a long time. He was 50 when we met. I was 8. Old schooler.

You're not the first person to send me this. I've been typecast!

"Yeah, looks like that maxillary right premolar needs to come out. But we can put a post in there and make a replacement. Nobody will know the difference."

Artists I Like: Kaja Foglio I don't know as much about Kaja Foglio as I would like to. Somehow I knew the name Phil, but Kaja slipped under my radar for the longest t...

Also reposting this Kaja Foglio from the Artists I Like blog series. Because Kaja is amazing!

Artists I Like: Evlyn Moreau Another entry in this spectacular series . I love a lot of artists. More than I can even count. But some of them have ambiance and beauty th...

Reposting from the Artists I Like series: the incredible Evlyn Moreau! A fave.

I watched that vid several times when it came out. Fucking amazing. I was just thinking today about it and wondered if the whole thing was still in limbo and did anyone sue his ass.

The Birth of Advertising by B. Kliban. I think he was mostly known for his CAT book and his Playboy cartoons. But he had some zingers about shitty capitalist culture too.

So did that Intellivision Amico thing ever come out or what?

Sketch of a plump warrior woman in chainmail bikini. POV is from below her, as if you're looking up. She's drawing a sword.

Fawn Rainchild is gonna totally stab the imp hiding down around her feet.

Ah, ok. That makes sense why it hasn't crossed my path (not that I can remember).

I feel you, Hulk.

I want this! I don't remember it from youth, so I guess it wasn't around here. I just had the Brian Froud one.

These look really cool. I wish I had tons of cash to just spend on nothing but comics right now

For a second, I thought it was Arnold doing Greatest American Hero, but then my brain kicked in.

If you see this, post a monster!

It all cash, in the end. Scaling up from micro level individual artists to corporate controlled projects, the money takes over and completely dominates the conversation. The board of directors aren't interested in art. They bought in to earn a big payout.

I know... I just stated the obvious. Sorry.

Spongebob with rainbow between his little hands, smiling. Good vibes. He's in a box.

Things I like today:

• People creating cool stuff.
• Discovering cool stuff.
• Sharing cool stuff.
• Rock songs with groovy riffs.
• Cold coffee with sweet cream.
• Beautiful unusual people.
• Making things.
• Hoping for a better future for everyone even in the face of horror.

Color drawing of brown cartoon woman, curvy, wild look in big eyes. Bloody sword, blood on face.

She observed her work with stoic satisfaction. Then she heard the most annoying words... "but I asked for grape jelly..."

I respect it
