A drawing of a black cat with a white string of gauze in its mouth, rolled on its back. The gauze is from a mummy hand all wrapped up.

Do they jump in the sink and demand it like a moron?

Orange and white Himbo cat sitting in the white porcelain sink, looking away to show how much he doesn’t want me to turn on the water. This is all a lie.
If I do not acquiesce, the violence and curse words will begin.

COMPUTERS PUT PEOPLE OUT OF WORK (Source.)

This newspaper-political-cartoon style comic from the book "A Common Sense Guide to Selection of a Computer System" shows a very mean all-in-one computer giving the boot to a hapless old man, kicking him out the door and down the stairs.

“Feathers grow a little different on some crows.” The Crow Time crow stands on a log and looks down at a smaller rounder crow with rainbow chest feathers perched on a branch. The smaller crow’s eyes sparkle in trans colors.

Please explain why you gave this score.

Hi #portfolioday ☀️

I’m a Polish illustrator & full-time 2D Game Artist. I love to create cozy art, usually celebrating nature or small moments of everyday life. I want to bring feelings of comfort to everyone and brighten their day with my work!

Gouache illustration of a black cat wearing a scarf with various geometric patterns on it. The scarf is in warm shades with some green accents.

Watercolor illustration of a bunch of colorful pumpkins, with a beige striped cat sleeping on top of them curled up into a ball, slightly resembling the round pumpkins itself.

Traditional fan art in watercolor and colored pencil. It’s an illustration showing the Pokémon Ampharos, with a little Togepi in its arms, standing among bushes full of yellow flowers. A small house, trees and electrical poles can be seen in the background, with Mt. Fuji faintly hovering over them in the distance.

Traditional drawing in mixed media of a white cat with a yellow straw hat sitting inside a blue cardboard box. It’s surrounded with other boxes full of oranges.

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

I talk about this and more on the final episode of WTF with Marc Maron. Watch now:

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”
