Playing the og Super Mario Bros. with my dad and sister, we were all shocked when after finally beating the first castle after many tries, the princess was in another castle. We also thought the Koopa Troopas were ducks lol.

Not-So-Daily Doodle for 10-6-25!

A totally radical illustration with a late 80's, early 90's color palette of neon pinks and greens! A babe of the most bodacious kind is the subject, and she is donned with an orange halter top and cutoff jean shorts, the very best kind of shorts! She is teetering on some roller skates, as she is not sure yet if she has mastered them, not to worry her elbow pads and her amazingly puffy pink hair will break her fall!

Panel 3 - Blue looks around as they continue walking.

Panel 4

I hadn't had time this week to do an illustration to celebrate, so hopefully I'll be able to this weekend.

Happy anniversary Peanuts. You've inspired me, given me laughs, and have gotten me through some rough times.

Josh Nickerson @joshnickerson83.bsky.social · 9d

Peanuts turned 75 years old today, and it's the the reason I became a cartoonist. It was the first comic strip I read when I was a small child, I even still have the Snoopy plush my parents gave me for my fifth birthday. It now sits among my Peanuts books on the shelf.

A plush Snoopy from the 80's. It's a bit worn, but all it needs is a little love.

A bookshelf crammed full of Peanuts books, DVDs, and various knickknacks. Of particular note, an LP of Snoopy songs by The Royal Guardsmen, a gold Woodstock my niece got me, and a pencil featuring artwork of Snoopy and Spike that I somehow still have when I got it at school back in 1988, GOD I'm old.

An #art #commission I finished recently of #Bowser and the #Koopalings from #Mario having fun in the sun! I worked hard on the colors to try to make it look really bright and cheerful.

Comm info: rachelordway.com/commissions/

Buy it as a print: ko-fi.com/s/fbc38b809d

A bright, colorfully cartoony image of Bowser and the Koopalings goofing around on the Koopa Troopa Beach stage from Mario Kart 64. Towards the middle of the image is a rope volleyball net tied between two palm trees. Larry is in midair bumping a volleyball, cheered on by his teammate Lemmy, who's balancing on his bouncy ball. Bowser Jr is also in midair, reaching out to spike the approaching volleyball, cheered on by his teammate Roy, who's pointing enthusiastic "finger guns". Bowser and Morton are cheering excitedly from the sidelines, jumping up in the air. Iggy runs across the sand past them, tauntingly holding up Ludwig's wand, as Ludwig angrily chases after him. BoomBoom and PomPom are snuggled together on the sand, shyly nuzzling their heads together and holding hands. Wendy is tanning in a beach chair beside them, lifting heart-shaped sunglasses to smirk at them.

I think copies of Kwirk just spontaneously exist in everyone's gameboy collection, regardless of if they ever actually bought it or not.
