Some days I'd rather dig a deep hole with a spoon than sit through another slide deck training.

The comic titled “Job Training” by MadScott

Panel 1 (Day One):
The trainer cheerfully says, “And then we will break for a luxury lunch. In the afternoon we will go over some examples.”

Panel 2 (Day Two):
The same trainer, now less energetic, says, “We’re a bit short on time so let’s do a five-minute break and then four hours of deep dive.”

Panel 3 (Day Three):
He says, “Once you have sacrificed the chicken and edited the sin.conf file you can save your work and you’re done.”

Panel 4 (Day Four):
The trainer says, “I have a flight to catch, so today is all labs. If you run into problems ask each other for help or give up.”

Hello and welcome to Friday’s coffee drawing. I think the shoes might be a little wonky, but otherwise I kinda like this one.

In “Peanuts,” Snoopy first appeared as the WWI flying ace 60 years ago, on October 10, 1965. (I’d wager that, thanks to Peanuts, the Sopwith Camel is the only WWI airplane most people can name.) Here’s the debut of the flying ace and his biplane, before the many battles with the Red Baron.

I think that the animation isn't adding to the message.
It's cute, clean, and AI is HEAVILLY leaning on your art but it's only a step away from making your cartoons without you, but then we can give you a gold star and a smiley face someday.

I think I need to go reread Light in the attic soon.

Put Something In
Draw a crazy picture,
Write a nutty poem,
Sing a mumble-grumble song,
Whistle through your comb.
Do a loony-goony dance
'Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been there before.
by Shel Silverstein

Do that dance!

Federal officers are firing so much tear gas at protesters outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, that some nearby community members who aren’t even protesting are struggling to breathe when they leave their homes to run errands.

ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions

Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.

Last year's comic

Madscott @madscott.bsky.social · 3d

I hear what you're saying but cheese never belongs on fresh fruit.

A cartoon man with short curly brown hair, a goatee, and a purple shirt raises a finger as he speaks. He says, “I hear what you’re saying but... when you say them it sounds bat shit crazy.”

I like to collect heirloom bumpers and plant them in my community garden

Good morning and welcome to today’s coffee drawing. This drawing was inspired by @margreetdeheer.com and her lovely Minnie drawings.
