“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?”

I know there's a lot of controversy about the Cracker Barrel logo, so I worked up a new option that should be good with everyone... The barrel is back, but it's now guarded by Scubble, The Cracker Goblin. I also worked up a new slogan for the company!

Imagine it's 1850 and you've just been flattened by an elite cavalry officer who just yells "SOWWY" as he thunders away.

Screenshot of a tweet:

British cavalry in the 1850s consisted entirely of twinks who used UwU-speak...
[Photo of a book page] "The dash of British cavalry officers was never greater than at the opening of the Crimean campaign in the spring of 1854. These aristocratic horsemen were, in the idiom of the day, "plungers," "tremendous swells." They affected elegant boredom, yawned a great deal, spoke a jargon of their own, pronouncing "r" as "w," saying "vewwy," "howwid," and "sowwy," and interlarded sentences with loud and meaningless exclamations of "Haw, haw." Their sweeping whiskers, languid voices, tiny waists, laced in by corsets, and their large cigars were irresistible, frantically admired, and as frantically envied. Magnificently mounted, horses were their passion; they rode like the devil himself, and their confidence in their ability to defeat any enemy single-handed was com-plete. Cavalry officers were saying in London drawing-rooms that to take infantry on the campaign was superfluous; the infantry would merely be a drag on them, and had better be left at
home."

Thinking about the tut-tutting Democratic politicians who spent their two years in power warning that Supreme Court expansion was too radical an idea to even think about taking seriously. You absolute fucking rubes. You gigantic, credulous losers. I hope you are ashamed of yourselves today.

i'm going to miss taskmaster and his accidentally-adopted daughter so much 😔

ellie peering over taskmaster's shoulder: "what is that? teleporter? high tech tracker? doomsday device?" taskmaster, holding a little rectangle: "ipod."

taskmaster and ellie sitting side by side, ellie leaning against his shoulder while they share a pair of wired headphones. ellie: "so in the ancient times, you guys were just stuck to wires whenever you listened to your sad old man music?" taskmaster: "in the ancient times, we threw disrespectful little twerps off the sides of mountains."

also i fixed up the taskmaster's first internet ad comic 🙂‍↕️

taskmasters 1st internet ad comic. panel 1: tm puts his hand on dougs shoulder and says "doug my man where are we on the duckduckgo search results?" doug says ummmmm page uhhh. next: doug squints at his laptop and clicks a few times. next: dougs etes widen and he clicks frantically, clicks filling up the background. next: taskmaster stares at nothing while licks continue to fill the background. final: tm stands with his face in his hands, giant text saying BUSINESS LOSER pointing at him.tm says "doug, file for chapter 11 bankruptcy. again." doug, offscreen, says "on it, boss!"

They don't really show their affection. At least not in the point of canon I draw them in and not in standard ways. Ppl know the beginnings of the story mostly, there might be changes later, depending on how they grow as characters in my head. I'm leaving them space to breathe and grow XD

A screenshot of a question from my strawpage reading:
How does Willow show his affection towards Douglas and vice versa

The reply is a doodle of Willow with crossed arms on the left and Douglas being a bit standoffish on the right. The dialogue reads:

W: Bastard.
D: Golden Boy.
W: Asshole.
D: Spoiled Brat.
W: Just shut up.
D: Make me.

thank you @kimhu.bsky.social for letting me know he's a little robot

ant blabbing while tasky doesn't pay attention. in the next panel, ant glitches, sparks flying off him. tasky says "AGAIN?" next panel, blank-faced ant says in a robot voice "your [eric o'grady] life model decoy is overdue for routine service." tasky pinches the bridge of his nose: "im gonna go back in fuckin time and mercy Steve jobs all over again."
