I love this series. It's the only flat earth I want to hear about.
NARROW WAY (1984)
Acrylic on Canvas - 30” x 20”
The greatest measure of my satisfaction as an illustrator comes when I produce an artwork that reflects my artistic concerns just as much as it illustrates the book. This painting is one of the best examples of that happy condition. 1/3

I don’t know who may need to hear this, but:
Not every story needs to adhere to The Hero’s Journey template, which is not, in fact, universal, and the quality/value of a story shouldn’t be judged by how successfully it follows that template.
There’s no cheat code. Sorry!

Honestly, though, begs the question... why did this even occur? Everyone involved should be fired or quit or whatever the process is. I'm not actually thankful they rescinded it so much as wanting accountability for why it even happened in the first place.
And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

While ReBoot isn't lost media by any means, the extent to which this restoration project has been going is simply INCREDIBLE.
They got the D-1 master tapes. Then the hardware to read them. Then service manuals to repair/maintain. THEN, CRITICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. And now they're ERROR CORRECTING.

I am in awe. The folks at ReBoot ReWind have done something astonishing. A remarkable feat of engineering, ingenuity and love. Check it out and give them some ReBooty love in return.

They're also working as an accountant so they can pay their bills and don't have the time to pump out piece after piece so if you want more "renaissance-level art" pay up like the Medici you think you are.
"people with renaissance-level art skills don't exist anymore" yes they do their username is something like 03748218_ and they spend all their time drawing pornography so deranged it'd kill hugh hefner a second time

Existing disability services are deeply underfunded, aggressively audited, means-tested constantly, and can be labyrinthine to even access or maintain without assistance. As someone who spent two decades as a cog in that system, concerns about fraud are overblown compared to the real existing need.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

The Turtles definitely got the munchies with Garfield so he was both their pizza and Lasagna hookup for sure and gave them a discount
Alf is a straight freak. I have no idea what he took.
