For his birthday Alfie received the greatest gift any dog can hope for: a cheap squeaky pig toy 🙂‍↕️
Comic panel; mum gives Alfie a squeaky pig, “happy birthday, Alfie!” Comic panel, three Alfie’s squeaking his new toy and one cartoonish version saying “my greatest treasure” Comic panel; Alfie squeaking his toy with pure joy. “Oh it’s quite noisy” “it’s fine, he’ll break it in a day!” Comic panel; hesitantdoodle and Iain sit on a sofa looking haggard, Alfie between them squeaking incessantly. “One week later…”

okay so do I try and embark on a brand new 24-hour comic on Saturday or use the time to plough through as many other projects as possible? 🤔

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...
Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2? Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has. Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something. Tateishi: … Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack? Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.
