Lol, I meant to pixelate the king.
That is beyond fabulous
And your wife is fabulous as well. I do love the about section on her website.
Congratulations to her and to you as well! And don't worry about blurring the king, he's been foggy for quite a while already anyway.
YAY
That cape tho!

A picture of the most handsome brown tabby you could imagine , sitting on a green couch, looking at the camera
RIP Tonka
Tonka was a rescue we took home in May to help heal the hole we had in our hearts after our kitty passed after 19 years with us.
He apparently had a heart condition, and out of nowhere today had an aneurysm, and we had to put him down.
He was big , beautiful , and we didn’t have enough time with him.
I just thought everyone should get a chance to see how goddamn handsome he was.

What a handsome fellow! You gave him a good life, he was well-loved. RIP good kitty!
So handsome! I’m sorry you didn’t get more time with Tonka.
ufff Tonka! <3 <3 <3 so sorry for your loss
Beautiful boy!
What a beautiful boy, sorry your time with him was so short
To live in hearts that love is not to die.
what a beautiful big guy. that big, serious face reminds me of an older cat i adopted many years ago.
so sorry you lost him so soon, but bless you for giving him the stability and love for the time that you could

I'm so sorry. He looks like a big luvver.
Damn. Not fair.
That's rough. (In my case) I just keep telling myself that I made that animals life better for as long as I could.
<3
Godspeed you beefy beast. And good on you for making sure his life was packed full of love.

Resume has always been....yeah, nope. Disassociation from the past is so extreme, it also leaves the future blank. Now, as a so so Buddhist, I have done my work. As a resident of reality, not so much.

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.

haha, oh i love this. if you ever published a book of them (or any of your art) i'd be first in line.
also, hah, this one has the vibe of "i only want to live life, plant potatoes, and dream!"

@nikkuneko thank you! It might be in Dutch though!!!!
I love you, Hibou
What @BennyTheIcepick said!
I was curious and just tested it. Machine translation can read your hand drawn lettering without issues and will save us all (after it destroyed us).
The text in the three comic panels translates to "Tra-la-la, tra-la-la...", "...une si douce solitude", and "Laisse-moi tranquille !" in French.
Terrible unsolicited response: ‘The artist signature in the bottom left panel ("waa") belongs to Wayne Anderson, a noted British illustrator known for his whimsical, watercolor-styled artwork.’
You *really* need to make that book, so AI can be better trained. /s

@mare 🤬⚡️$!#% Wayne Anderson (and AI)
Wow, I love the style, and it looks fun as well. I work as a comics editor in Norway, and my company currently publish three semi-monthly humor anthologies with mostly humor strips. It would be fun to see some more if you are ever inclined to put together a pdf of some of your favorites. 25 years and 4 times a year – is that just one strip per appearance, or several?
@hassebasse can you give me some links to your anthologies? Even if they're in Norwegian? I will try and put together a PDF, but I have only translated a handful of them. I still have to put together a book, but my style has changed a little bit over the decades so it'll be an odd book :-)
Note: I don't know what can of comic box your into, but also work for a comix festival in Rotterdam (Cross Comix) that is very much into more alternative independent comic artists. Just take a look and let me know if it's interesting to connect about that as well: https://crosscomix.eu | https://www.instagram.com/crosscom...

Image shows an illustration of the Queen of Disks tarot card. The card depicts a witch astride a black goat, through a meadow of willows, nettles, and rosemary. Rather than holding up a coin or pentacle, she is holding up the full Moon. Behind them, half buried in the meadow, is the Cauldron of Cerridwen which is filled with dozens of full Moons. In the sky, behind a mountain range, is the constellation of Virgo which rules this card.

We get it; the fireplace has USB
I very much wish this was a color photo. I'll bet those walls absolutely popped.

No sweet jumps.

illustration of a boy smashing cans with a hammer captioned "It's wise to provide constructive outlet for feelings of intense anger." with the boy labelled 'ME' and the cans labeled 'THIS'
it is also wise to empty the cans first, unless you are in an easily-cleaned environment
I am small of brain and I can't figure out what fruit or vegetable commonly sold in cans contains the letters "ANE."
@1f2frfbf obviously it’s a can of BANES
@1f2frfbf Canned Habaneros? I don't think so.

I'm just being silly now.

When I came to Montreal I compacted all beverage cans by stepping on them, like I had always done in the Netherlands. Back then I drank a lot of Coke Zero while driving, so I accumulated quite a few cans. After a few months when I went to return a big bag full of compacted cans I found out that the deposit machines worked by reading the bar code (it could be a can from Ontario! The horror…) and then compressed it so it couldn’t be returned twice. So my cans were ‘stolen’ cans and I (or any can collector) would never get the deposit back, not even when processed by hand at the counter. Lesson learned. (I stopped drinking Coke Zero after a kidney stone.)
@mare Massachusetts had similar rules, to prevent those scandalous New Hampshire cans from being redeemed. Back in 90s, the local grocery store went from having a person look at them to a machine that meticulously scanned the barcode on the can. Not sure if the scanner or some anti-homeless bias (both?) demanded the cans be almost perfectly spherical to be accepted
@mare Same system as here in Scandinavia. We have cranked the deposit up to 20 / 30 cents per can/bottle, so more than 90 % of bottles and cans are recycled.
@roonie That's probably as close as we're gonna get, but the rest of those letters must be pretty bunched up on the other side of the can.
@robotmachine You're overthaneking it
@rogrtheshrubber How dare you say such a thane!

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.

edit: Poured the slab last fall..otherwise took 3 months to complete

Looks great. Did you DIY the design or follow plans?
@samh thanks! I designed the layout myself based around what I'd seen on BBQ forums and looking at how people were setting up their argentinian /gaucho grills.
DAMN, son! What’s your signature dish?
Le grille?!? What the hell is that?!?
I commented before you had a chance to type up this nice description I see. It turned out awesome and I love that you pieced it together with various bits and parts.
@MackReed Still searching for the perfect one. Def more fish dishes coming. So many possibilities.

A small humanoid machine stands in a bright green space. The humanoid is a tarnished coppery color, and has a large, lopsided metal head with bolts and seams in it. There isn't much to its face other than two round holes, one of which has a greenish glass lens in it. Its body is the size of its head. In its left hand, it is holding a mirror, which it is peering at. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
