The watchdog, when a friend just dropped something outside.

The stuffie? That somehow happened earlier when the robot vacuum came out.

Pennies piled on a printed map of the U.S.; a stack of pennies on right represents the KΓ‘rmΓ‘n line where space begins, 62 miles (100 km) high and one on the left represents low Earth orbit, approximately 186 miles altitude.

It is way, way lower than you would think.

Love this visualization of the KΓ‘rmΓ‘n line (where space begins) and low Earth orbit. Via @pbump’s newsletter.

Eric Alper (@EricAlper@mastodon.social) Attached: 1 image On this day in 1983, New Order released β€œBlue Monday” as a 12-inch single on Factory Records. It would go on to become the best-selling 12-inch single in history, cementing its place as one of the most influential tracks of the decade.

Transatlantic folk duo Sons of Town Hall officially release their album Of Ghosts and Gods β€” for which I did some of the design, including for the vinyl package.

The Ruth Interview Ruth Reichl has some feedback.

Still very, very on the fence about the new Gourmet, but this interview with Ruth Reichl is good fun, with some sharp observations about what we’ve lost with the decline of magazines: https://gourmetmagazine.net/ruth-reichl-interview/

In a four-panel cartoon by Richard Thompson, a giant man walks through a neighborhood:

And now, March

Panel 1 caption: March comes in on clumsy feet,
Kicks the trashcans down the street.

Man: Whoops

2: Spills some garbage on the lawn,
Blows the rest to Hellandgone.

Man: Oh man. Sorry.

3: Knocks the branches off the trees,
Gives the power lines a squeeze.

Man: Oops. Ow.

4: Then March leaves & as it's goes,
The sun comes out. Then it snows.

Man: My bad. Whoops. Sorry.

Cover of β€œThe World’s Best Typography, Typography 46”

First time in… yeesh, 12 years, I got my act together enough to track down the latest Typography annual, now published by https://www.slanted.de and available in the States from https://draw-down.com

Smells like ink and inspiration.
