Noo I just got hornswaggled by a Wonder kitchen with the same name as a world-class local restaurant
After a look at what the hell a Wonder is I know more about money-hemorrhaging VC “yes we found a way to mess up a food court business model” deceptive conglomerate practices than I ever wanted to.

Is this like how I was disappointed cybernetic crime lords don’t jump out of trucks in public in NYC to fire an infinite number of rockets at my mobile helicopter attack

“At dawn, you’ll take a new form! That of a fleshless, chattering skeleton” is such a good line

I got yelled at for saying the modern comic book reader in general has reactive and conservative tastes and couldn’t care less if artists outside of literalist house style live or die

I just absolute aced the autopsy in Disco Elysium, just aced it: a combination of pure, dumb luck; being a magpie player unaccustomed to the format with all the requisite items in possession; talking with the corpse over and over out of morbid fascination; and -desperately- seeking Kim’s approval

Me to my brain:
“so brain…”
“Yeah?”
“What are we doing right now?”
“Drawing…portraiture?”
“And that part there is-“
“It’s nothing, I perceive NOTHING.”
“Are you sure it’s not the nasal arch buddy? It’s a complex-“
:brain grabbing a spiked mace:
“brain, where did you get that!”
“PERCEIVE THIS!”

You’re right about the sawed-off quality of some contemporary illos, I always found the key to bluth character design to be shapework wholly in the service of showing characters grappling with -extreme emotions- many of which are quite uncomfortable and distressing. Just like childhood feelings!
