✪ Jonathan H. Gray: “Professor of Halloweenery” ✪ @jongraywb.bsky.social · Mar 26

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?”

The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

Something I love that was especially precious pre-widespread internet adoption is moments where you got into some kind of important books/ movies/ music/ art in general that was otherwise unavailable from you. Like a friend who made you That One Mixtape, your random video rental one time, etc

Finally picked a title for this comic: Tower of Kobolds. I'm just happy to finally be able to draw again so this was a nice warm up.

#dnd #kobold #memes

Panel 1: [The next morning...] A red wizard looks at the table with a large sky blue egg on it. A blue kobold is peaking over the table. The Red Wizard says "I... It's an egg...". Panel 2: The red wizard is kneeling on the floor, holding the egg and yelling "Shiver!! Did you lay this egg?!" The blue kobold is panicking and says "I don't know! It was there when I woke up!"

The only way to win is by lumping and the only way to lump is by prongling.

edited screenshots from the show Game Changer. Host Sam Reich, with cow ears and cow horns, addresses the contestants saying, "Now, you all understand how the tools work?"

The contestants, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Izzy Roland, and Lou Wilson look back at him expectantly from their player podiums behind a table with 4 cow tools on it.

⚠️Now... I wanna do more plush dragons that are based off of levels from Spyro the Dragon, Riptio's Rage, and Year of the Dragon.

Imma do it to. Why? Cause Spyro is my everything.
Maybe I can do preclaims on some levels that peeps really love!

What do you think? 👀

I mean I love @stealingfromwizards.com for being a great author of wizard school magic stories and a cool creator and cosplayer in general and a really cool human but also this

Due to the actions of *other authors*, it is again necessary to reiterate that Stealing from Wizards is trans-inclusively queer friendly.

Shouldn't have to say it, but apparently we do.

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 18h

Printing presses kept their letters in cases.

Capital letters went in the upper case.
Smaller letters went in the lower case.

This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’

Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?

MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

And if you're thinking "Wow look at these guys vote against their own interests," no they didn't.

Most US farmers' interests are just NOT what people think they are.

The loudest voices in ag are millionaires who're worried about taxes more than anything else.

They're just rich. It's not that deep
