🪬🧿Unicorns are the best!

#unicorn #joke #funny #animal #rhino #swordfish #humor #alttext

The image is a three-panel joke comparing a unicorn to other animals with horns. The top panel is a horse with a horn on its head. To the right of the horse is the word, "Unicorn". The middle panel shows a rhinoceros with a horn on its nose. To the right of the rhino are the words, "Heavy assault unicorn." The bottom panel shows a swordfish leaping out of the water. Next to it are the words, "High speed submersible unicorn."

Operation: Blackstar is here. Our second campaign dives into Delta Green horror — Mi-Go, Majestic-12, paranoia, and all the alien weirdness that comes with it. Built on years of table chemistry.

If you see this post, post a picture of your work in progress, or a picture of something blue, or a picture of a horse. I'm finding it hard to finish this so send me some encouragement. As artists, let's support each other!
