Just out of curiosity, how do you know that Ghidorah has only one butthole? The Dorat origin story definitely opens up the possibility of three separate digestive tracts with three buttholes.

This is cool! It's like an inversion of the Bradbury story "The Fog Horn."

Lighthouse Dinosaur. Digital. 8.5x11 inches. This one's been in my head for awhile now and I finally decided to try making it happen.

Finally finished Page 19 for Tech Rush! I think I learned a valuable lesson - not every panel need a full background! 😅

Anyway, as usual, the link for the new page is below!

I love that Bsky is full of so many creatives doing such amazingly creative things. This is a project I will continue to watch with great interest.

After my last post, I decided to search #checkmymath to see if it's a thing people do. I would actually really like to have this as a resource if people who enjoy random math problems will take up the challenge.

Answer: not really, but there are some gems there.

Matthew B. Candelaria @orlandospurioso.bsky.social · 20d

At least, based on the comet's period (406 years), the math works out properly that way, whereas I can't get a true A.M. 1372 to work with the comet based on any of the major creation dates I looked at.

However, I wouldn't mind if someone would #checkmymath.

Matthew B. Candelaria @orlandospurioso.bsky.social · 20d

The comic artists seem to be using A.M. ( #AnnoMundi) not as dating directly from the creation of the universe, but rather the way we would use BC or BCE.

Although the asteroid theory wasn't formally proposed until 1980, it starts to show up in #popsci articles about the dinosaurs after the #Tunguska event in 1908.

Instead, the point of the comic is the predictable periodicity of comets.

To modern eyes, the 1861 Punch #comic seems akin to the #dinosaur #art of creatures witnessing the deadly meteorite impact that we see so often these days.

However, I think this comic predates the notion that dinosaur extinction was due to an astronomic catastrophe.

Nineteenth century representations of dinosaurs looking through telescopes at a fanciful depiction of a comet.

Good News: The Rapture actually happened today at midnight GMT.

Bad News: We're all still here.

Nobody can make the cut as long as there's this much suffering in the world. Do what you can to make this world the best place it can be, and maybe we'll make the cut next time.

Thanks to everyone who helped make the launch of my #dinosaur novel PLUG AND FEATHERS such a success.

Especially thankful to @denseblackhole.bsky.social for helping to promote it.

My novel cracked the top 100 in one of its categories. Here's a screenshot, of where I ranked among the gay erotica.
