Straw, sticks, and stones! That's clever!

We talked about how medieval temples had colorful interiors, with almost every surface painted in bright colors, but the same was true on the exterior as well, especially on the main facade. Of course, these pigments are more difficult to preserve, for one reason or another.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

How to tie the Triple Headsail Knot:

I'm tired. We're all tired. This isn't hard to understand. You can't inflate prices of basic necessities like food and housing to ridiculous highs while keeping wages at poverty levels, then act surprised when luxury goods/services and large purchases become unattainable or payments unaffordable.

About 500 in our tiny town. Cops not on high alert like last time. Just a swing by sometimes.

A few Magats yelling from the safety of their trucks, one with a stealth-nazi iron cross on the bumper.

Lots of American flags in our crowd, none of which were disrespected of defaced with swastikas.

An adorable little #Roman figurine of a mouse playing a trumpet - because, why not?

After a day at the games, little Flavius was thrilled when his father bought him a souvenir lamp with a man being devoured alive by lions. Just like it happened in the amphitheater! Such fun. 😳 🏺

There was a 'womp' sound from the yard. I looked out the window.

Where the large pile of leaves had been, a dragon sat.

"Oi!" I called.

"The hoard was unguarded," the dragon said. "I claim it."

Every damn year. It'll leave once the leaves lose their golden hue. Meanwhile, I can't order takeaway.

In high school I learned that I could mail-order books from some publishers like ACE. Guessing which ones I'd like by the title actually gave me a more diverse reading experience that I might have otherwise had. (Still all F&SF, though.)

FYI this is your last chance to get a “Fallen into the Garden” preview zine from me in person, but they will continue to be a freebie with online store orders for the rest of October. And of course you can get the full digital version of RIGHT NOW on SBCF!! www.shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-sq4wj/p...

Nonsense from people who want it to be true.

The adorableness... it burns!
