Everyone remembers learning about the First Martian War in history class, right. everyone had a map in their text book that looked something like this right

(something a lil different from my usual artistic fare... never done any sorta map before so it was an interesting change of pace)

Fictionalized map of Chapter 17 of War of the Worlds- the battle between the HMS Thunder Child and a trio of martian fighting machines.

Reading the book is always more interesting when you do it with the fact that it's an allegory for british imperialism in mind. IIRC it was originally supposed to have a FAR more dire ending, until Wells' publisher had him change it to the "martians all die to terrestrial illness" thing

i almost scrapped this entire thing after realizing most of the waters off Dengie are too shallow for her to sail in, but given I didn't want things to take place too far off shore (and I'd already made the map) I elected to ignore that issue

For the record, given Thunder Child is an entirely fictional vessel, I've decided that it is the very real HMS Sans Pareil in all but name; she was guard ship at Sheerness in 1901, and ALSO a pretty good match for the book description of Thunderchild (ram prow, twin funnels, low freeboard)

All I’m saying is there is not enough post-Martian invasion fiction out there… so much you could do with that as a setting

Last September, N302PQ was in bad shape after an A350 knocked its tail off. Today, the aircraft is back in revenue service. www.flightradar24.com/EDV4750/3c9a...

it's not FOR us

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Refined youth

An anthropomorphic borzoi (Zela) dressed in fashionable attire standing in front of the viewer, glancing towards them. She's wearing a fashionable linen shirt with frills along its buttons paired with black, high rise and flared trousers. She's also wearing a golden necklace with a crimson stone pendant. Behind her a couple of city houses can be seen along with the rocky shapes of a coast, the sky above is a bright blue.
