Oh good! I saw her and had a feeling she might have big fandom appeal. And her rookie looks like Vinci with gun arms XD

She’s giving 2000s deviantart fursona and I am HERE for it

Watched the first episode of Digimon Beatbreak and I’m wondering if the furries have discovered Wolvermon yet.

I get by with a little help from @danacorn.bsky.social's teenage Milo.

(... I ... didn't even try to fit the meter of the song there.)

The first two panels are a medium close shot of me and Milo. Milo is leaning against a wall corner... somewhere.

Panel 1: Me: Hey, do you remember when you were younger and you hid my clothes until I was done drawing my comic pages?
Panel 2: Milo: ... Yup.

Panel 3 pulls out to reveal that I am not wearing pants and using a comic page to hide my nether-bethers.
Me: ... You did it AGAIN, didn't you.
Milo: Just your pants this time. Now. Less EXHIBITIONISM and more WRITING.

Thank you! I remember having a hard time trying to figure out how to make it look like he was pulling his lower eyelids down

Me: “Hey Arty, what’s it called when a comic artist is bummed about not making syndicate?”

Arty: *wary noises*

Me: “Peanuts envy.” 😃😃😃

Arty:

Arty Sunspot makes an extremely sour face

Okay, the story.

We were in the pick-up line at CVS when Kismet focuses on a box, Cecil and I turn to see what she saw, and there's a beetle run across the box.

Before we can do anything, it runs INTO the hangtag hole on the box, INTO the box.

Today I watched my husband used beetle power to frighten a pharmacy.

Cecil Dewalt @lafterlight.bsky.social · 6d

It’s really subtle! There’s a mini version that has it too, but something about the regular size called to me XD

Cecil Dewalt @lafterlight.bsky.social · 6d

Today I watched Arty unintentionally terrorize the CVS pharmacy with a beetle.

It was the smiley bumbumz face hiding inside the pistil that got me.

She’s teething D:

I’m not a fan of Stranger Things but I couldn’t resist the toothy child. She is beauty, she is grace, she is the moment.

Medicare telehealth is bipartisan. It's wildly popular. But year after year, Congress has refused to permanently fund it—which could have protected it from the shutdown.

Another shutdown casualty: Medicare telehealth coverage

It's got bipartisan support—and millions of Americans need it. But Congress keeps failing to lock in telehealth funding.

I've just wrapped up the rough pass for Relic's fun little dance. My main focus was really nailing the movements and energy before diving into the clean-up phase. I was playing with a mix of animating on ones and twos.
