a cartoon with sound effects in Japanese.  A human moved a remote to keep a cat from knocking it over.  The cat then cuddles with the human until it can get close to the new location of the remote in order to knock it to the floor.

Hibou at sea

Three panel gag strip with an owl called Hibou.
Panel one: Hibou is in a tiny little boat at sea, perfectly content and singing/mumbling 'la-di-da, la-did-da'
Panel two: Hibou put out a fishing rod. Says out loud: 'such blissful solitude'.
Panel three: Hibou catches a fish, and reels it in. The fish looks scared, with a hook in its mouth. Hibou looks angrily at the fish and says 'Leave me alone'

For the past 25 years, I've been making this gag strip with an owl called Hibou. It gets published about four times a year in Dutch underground Comix magazine Zone 5300. I still have to make my first book, but now and again, I managed to get a translation done. This is the latest one.

Also: watercolour, no retouch, apart from slight cleanup of the text.

Pictures of a brick bbq
After seeing the pit that is Kreuz Market(s) in Lockhart years ago, I've been dreaming of building something like it if the bricks ever materialized - and they did! $25 for around 900 last fall. Wanted a smoker / grill combo. Grill found online for $600 from a small manufacturerr in Argentina. I'd done very minimal masonry work, but this gave me a new level of respect and awe for brick masons.
Cooks have been predictable and delicious Holds heat like a mofo.

Photo of the author (with added agony)
AI render of a photo of me, representing the feeling when I pulled out the stent that had been keeping my left kidney from being blocked by 2 kidney stones for over 3 months. It should have been removed by a nurse, but the string on the outside end had come loose and pulling down undies partly pulled out about 8cm of the stent. The stent itself was about 25cm (10 inches) long with spirals at both ends.

Not shown - the two post-op bouts of extreme pain when drugs wore off. Now I know what a '10' on the pain scale feels like..

Kidney stones are no fun. It's now 6 weeks in the past, thankfully!

A picture of Sugar's Copper Blue on (for some ridiculous reason) ORANGE vinyl.
@nikkuneko recently posted about their recent colored vinyl record purchase: https://mltshp.com/p/1RUO6

and @jpoulos recently posted a mini-doc on Sugar's Copper Blue: https://mltshp.com/p/1RU9M

Which made me realize I didn't have that album on vinyl in my collection and I really should so ordered a copy.

And here it is.

In orange.

Rant time: If you're gonna make a colored vinyl release, PUT SOME THOUGHT INTO IT PEOPLE. Orange? WTF!? The album is named after TWO colors. COPPER. and BLUE. And the album artwork is colored in... (you guessed it!) BLUE and COPPER!

HINT HINT? Maybe, I dunno... GO WITH A BLUE OR COPPER COLORED RECORD?

GTFO with this orange.

Anyways, still a great album.

i always liked bob mould (my frame of context mostly being husker du) but i never gave any of his other stuff a very deep dive. need to go back for this band someday.

it's funny how often LPs are either "we carefully matched the wax to the album art / title / theme" or "this is what the plant had that wasn't black, deal with it". i'm sure i have plenty of both in my collection, but i can't think of any egregiously off-the-mark ones off the top of my head.

i, for one, love the off-the-wall random ones that i pull out for the first time and go "why is it pepto-bismol-vomit colored?".
