I knew about these but it took these exact images for me to finally realize why some little sharks are called dogfish

The Emperor and my “dragonborn” idling about.

I have made this huge (around 7000 pixels in width) by accident so here be some close-ups too:

panels from Manuel by Rodrigo Muñoz Ballester, 1985

One of my favorite comics I’ve discovered in the past few years! You can learn more and look at high quality scans at Jonathan Bogart’s blog, but here are some fun facts:

  • Rodrigo was his pen name as a cartoonist. He worked more frequently as an architect and sculptor (shocker, right?)
  • Manuel was serialized in an Madrid arts magazine called La Luna de Madrid, which also featured stuff from up and coming artists like Pedro Almodóvar.
  • Magazines like this documented “la movida madrileña” in the late seventies and eighties. This was a counterculture movement that manifested as a surge of punk and queer art as Spain was transitioning to democracy. It had previously been under the fascist Franco regime for 36 years.

"I don't like the Jack Harkness test because it means it's okay to fuck Scooby Doo"

yes that's the entire damn point of the Harkness test. The Harkness Test doesn't exist to say you have to fuck Scooby Doo. The Harkness Test exists to say that it is morally/ethically fine for someone to want to fuck Scooby Doo, because Scooby Doo can give informed consent and communicate as such.

the reason you don't like it is because none of you are self-aware enough to realize how incredibly fucking puritan all of you are when it comes to fucking

Tumblr being free is humanity's greatest error.

Then pay me 20$ if you feel so strongly about it

Tumblr is a free website where I am paid $20

Hey tagger are you aware of the existence of any IRL dogs who speak fluent English and solve mysteries? Just curious.

I love this. I was just talking about the Harkness test the other day. But like, not only does it mean it's ethical for us to fuck Scooby-Doo, but it also means it's morally okay for Shaggy to fuck Scooby in universe. Though let's be real, Scooby is the top. Shaggy is a power bottom.

It is not morally okay for Shaggy to fuck Scooby Doo because Shaggy is Scooby Doo's owner.

Isn't Scooby canonically the heir to the entire fortune of a wealthy talking dog family? He grew up in like a mansion according to several continuities. Wouldn't this mean he chose to run off with penniless hippies and live as a pet because he's just a bored, freak rich boy?

It's crazy that these strikes are happening given that all the writers and actors are asking for is less than 0.3% of the revenue these studios make.

This is what gets me. The writers and actors aren’t asking for much but these CEOs are digging their heels in

It's because it sets a precedent that the CEOs are terrified to set. That they will acquiesce to worker demands if the workers are resolute enough.

Because in an ideal world for these rich fucks, the workers give up, and the CEOs win, and its reinforced in the collective public mindset that all a strike does is "disrupt the economy, deprive people of valuable products, and waste people's time". The goal is to maintain the assertion that Strikes Don't Work. I don't think they genuinely give a shit about 0.15% of their revenue. What they care about is the OPTICS.

They cannot back down, for the exact same reason that WORKERS cannot back down. Because if the workers win, it shows people just that bit more that The Poors have power and ultimately we can make the rich do what we want if we put our fucking minds to it. And that, to the rich, is bad news bears to the highest degree.

Some character designs with some…atypical color choices? I guess. I don’t know what’s going on in that area.

This is Nimona and her supervillain friend (He doesn’t have a name yet, I’m working on that). Nimona is his sidekick/squire, they’re like the Batman and Robin of slightly Medieval villains, but she’s actually way more evil than him. He does what he does to make a point, and he doesn’t really want anyone get hurt - Nimona just gets a kick out of destroying stuff.

I’m going to attempt to make a two page comic with them? We’ll see how this goes.
