I started a new sketchbook with the intention of picking 100 ideas randomly writing them down in a notepad and then filling up the sketchbook with as many of them as I can before I ever even ink one. It’s tough resisting the urge to start inking.

How about tacos?

A cartoon shows two skeletons lovingly holding each other, smiling with hollow eye sockets. The male skeleton wears a purple shirt, and the female skeleton wears a green dress with a pearl necklace. Text above them reads: “Neither of them would pick the restaurant… and so they died hungry but in love.”

I watched it and enjoyed it but yes.. Leto could have been replaced by any number of other actors and it wouldn't have made a big difference in the film. I would have leaned in harder to the other cast members stories either way

I'm not sure if I'm a wood chuck or a beaver.

I will always recommend a book I think will get them hooked on the genre long before I start recommending books that I like but are classics. No one should learn to drive on a model A.

It all used to seem worse. Hell isn’t what it used to be.

A startled man in a green shirt stands in a fiery, jagged landscape that looks like the underworld. He nervously asks, “Am I in... is this Hell?”
Next to him stands a red demon with horns, furred legs, and a trident, who calmly replies, “It used to be.”

I can't do slice of life comics at the moment. They would all just be of me going WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!

Some days I'd rather dig a deep hole with a spoon than sit through another slide deck training.

The comic titled “Job Training” by MadScott

Panel 1 (Day One):
The trainer cheerfully says, “And then we will break for a luxury lunch. In the afternoon we will go over some examples.”

Panel 2 (Day Two):
The same trainer, now less energetic, says, “We’re a bit short on time so let’s do a five-minute break and then four hours of deep dive.”

Panel 3 (Day Three):
He says, “Once you have sacrificed the chicken and edited the sin.conf file you can save your work and you’re done.”

Panel 4 (Day Four):
The trainer says, “I have a flight to catch, so today is all labs. If you run into problems ask each other for help or give up.”

Hello and welcome to Friday’s coffee drawing. I think the shoes might be a little wonky, but otherwise I kinda like this one.

In “Peanuts,” Snoopy first appeared as the WWI flying ace 60 years ago, on October 10, 1965. (I’d wager that, thanks to Peanuts, the Sopwith Camel is the only WWI airplane most people can name.) Here’s the debut of the flying ace and his biplane, before the many battles with the Red Baron.

I think that the animation isn't adding to the message.
It's cute, clean, and AI is HEAVILLY leaning on your art but it's only a step away from making your cartoons without you, but then we can give you a gold star and a smiley face someday.

I think I need to go reread Light in the attic soon.

Put Something In
Draw a crazy picture,
Write a nutty poem,
Sing a mumble-grumble song,
Whistle through your comb.
Do a loony-goony dance
'Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been there before.
by Shel Silverstein

Do that dance!

Federal officers are firing so much tear gas at protesters outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, that some nearby community members who aren’t even protesting are struggling to breathe when they leave their homes to run errands.

ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions

Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.
