Scott McCloud’s incomparable “Understanding Comics”.

I swear you can open this book to any page and it’s amazing.

(ps it’s actually a digital image of a printed copy of a drawing of a painting of a pipe)

Highly recommend scott mccloud’s “understanding comics” as an introduction to all forms of visual media, but especially educational work like scientific illustration because the man does have a handle on some of the funkier stuff that happens when a viewer tries to interpret an image.

Also reccomended: james gurney’s “light and color”. The man did Dinotopia he knows what the fuck he’s talking about.

#hc: andrew gets a bee tattoo just below the crook of his elbow where he would have cut next#if he ever had a relapse#and it’s hidden underneath the armband and he never shows like. anyone.#until he does tell her at his 35th birthday party#bc he’d ironically-but-not-really told her he never expect to live past that age in their first session

@miniwave333 SHUT UP GOD 

#wtf!!!!!!#what if on the other arm he got a key#bc bee made him realize he can live for himself#and neil made him realize he can let people in his life#oh jesus im so emo rn!!!!

YOU TOO SHUT UP!!!!!!! SHUT IT!!!!!

cannot stop thinking about how, from jean’s pov, neil is a Creature. an insane little man. jean expresses physical attraction or at least physical appreciation towards many of the characters in this book, and despite the foxes’ insistence that neil is good looking, to jean neil is always just… a weird and slightly unsettling presence. a strange and arrogant creature with no leash on him. an uncanny force of nature.

My thoughts so far about the sunshine court:

jeremy was deblondified??? and i learn this through the source material rather than memes??????

nvm my man was reblondified

i wish ads felt pain when you skipped them

Mandatory ad executive chastity cage that jabs a little exacto blade into their balls and/or labia whenever someone skips the ad they designed

It’s strange to see Andrew in extreme-minor-character mode after three books of Neil obsessing over his every move.

this guy won life

this is an L imagine being seduced by your chess opponent in a dress like that isn't the oldest play in the Conniving Vizier handbook... expect arsenic in your wine within the week

an acquaintance told me i had the subtle guardedness of someone who “learned social skills the hard way” and i’d honestly have much preferred they took out a gun and shot me

Things I’m learning about All For the Game fans: a lot of y’all didn’t grow up with a cheese drawer in your fridge and it shows

Good day to everyone but specifically that one reporter who was worried about Jean on live TV

I was walking to the gym one day and saw a bear with some trash on the street. He was on a small sun-faded plastic child's chair.

On the way back, the bear was gone, but I noticed a trail of white fluff down the street. As I walked, I realised it was the bear's innards, and I found the bear's skin torn up in an abandoned trolley.

The rest is as follows:

2. Reassembly and pet brush to de-matt

3. Eyes polished. (they were all scratched up)

4. Eyebrows

5. Nose (science blue)

6. Boots

7. Pants

8. Tunic (with a hand-embroidered emblem and some spare braid)

9. Spock

10. Spirk

BONUS: I also found this guy recently. Another project!

Now who on earth could that remind me of

 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway happy valentines day!

Spock Bear: elaborate multi-step makeover

Kirk Bear: 0 changes needed, kirk already looked like that

i was skimming over this post and had to go back and try to figure out how an actual bear got disemboweled and lost its skin in the subway while op was in the gym

i know she probably just pretended she didnt so jean would talk to her but im fucking dying at the idea no one ever actually explained the game to her. it could almost be true
