It has been such a joy to read ALL of Ranma, to really watch her do such a long-running sitcom and keep it inventive and consistently funny AND beautifully drawn.

Like, look at these fucking wood shavings. Really treat yourself to a solid 10 count looking at these panels and letting your eyes look ONLY at the wood shavings, setting aside the character actions and the dialog and the cat on the one guy's shoulder. Just Salieri-seethe and look at those shavings.

Two panels of Ranma 1/2 where Ranma has freaked out from cats and turned all the wood around him into wood shavings.

I finally got into her work like ~5 years ago. God-tier talent, total command of the comics form, humbling and infuriating. So glad there's still so much more of her for me to read and learn from.

A very happy birthday to Rumiko Takahashi! Born on October 10, 1957 in Niigata, she is entering into her 47th year as a mangaka! Happy birthday, sensei!

it's kind of wild that a guy died a little while ago and the government swore we would reap the whirlwind and that his widow would lead a howling army of valkyries across the galaxy and then the most you heard about it since was the secretary of domestic war saying they arrested the wife of antifa

i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

I come around and around each time I see IV, but I dunno if it's an effect of the book knowledge or more that I have always taken a while to be seduced by the California shaggy dog detective story: I know I like em, each time I like em more, then a switch flips and I think of them all the time.

Truly incredible job of set design making Our Gang live in vibrant and strange and colorful places and Them Creeps living in the most life-sapping mansions of wealth-death.

I understand it is difficult to render "old man recites the Emerson quote he learned while in prison for union organizing" in a chase move, so I'll just imagine the Traverses are just offscreen with small beers as well
