🎃Happy Halloween!🎃
Annual Family Halloween Card Artwork, 2025 Edition

Digital drawing depicting three people gathered around a bubbling cauldron of green witches brew and bones for a Halloween scene. From left to right: a man dressed as a black cat looking reluctant in costume choice, a woman dressed as a witch and amused with the man's discomfort, and a white dog made to look like a sabbath goat and staring longingly at the bones in the cauldron. Decorative text as the bottom wishes you a Happy Halloween.

Goddamn, that uniform is amazing.

This. One day I'll get me a full English breakfast, dammit.

That's actually the best example of that song showing up in a piece of pop culture that most people would be familiar with. Bravo. I wouldn't have thought of that. To be fair, she's absolutely right that everyone is gonna think of the Aerosmith song first, heh.

Grilled Cheese Donut from a local chain that specializes in grilled cheese and tomato soup.

Like, "Here's your final drawing
Also, some stickers because I don't feel like I put in enough time for what you paid. And a doodle of Yoshi from Mario games as a lawyer. Just because. Also, want me to detail your car next month?"

I do always get at least 25% up front, though. Usually, 50%. Some sort of investment so they we're both motivated to stick it out. If someone paid in full upfront, I'd lose my mind feeling like I couldn't deliver a worthy amount of work to match their investment.

Troy Edmisten @spoonscribbles.bsky.social · Aug 17

I agree with the post you quoted that it's weird to expect full payment up front. I've had a project or two end early because we realized we were not a good fit after the first round of sketches. I was paid for the work done but not the full project budget since I didn't stick around to finish it.

It became a sort of meme that replaced the "Just think of the rabbits, Lennie" as the dark humor way of addressing someone doing something wrong or there's a morbid joke about death. Like this COVID era version...

Yeah, wasn't much of a fan but they had an obvious homage to Of Mice and Men when there was a character that kept doing things with horrible consequences and was obviously never going to learn/get better and someone made the hard choice as George but distracted them with flowers that made them happy

Yeah, heh. Totally different experiences. Heard/read the phrase the title references maybe handful of times but the book/movies seem much more prevalent in pop culture/zeitgeist I've grown up in. I think Walking Dead might've usurped the "look at the rabbits" thing with "look at the flowers" though.

It's interesting that you've heard the term more than talk of the actual book. I don't think I've ever heard the phrase outside the context of the book and movies. And references to Lenny and George are not uncommon either. Or the "look at the rabbits" as a dark joke. There's a band too but meh.

Heh, I had the same reaction. But I also watched the full CEO series like a week ago and can't stop thinking about GoFundMe...

There are several proposed books to go, though. Some day...

Not as bad, no. But a couple of reveals happen that leave you with, "Well, what now?!"

Now hurry on through book three so you can be stuck in literary purgatory with myself, Locke, and Jean waiting for a fourth book that may never come...

I do like them, yes. Especially the second book having pirates, of course. The series reminds me of the Shades of Magic trilogy a bit. You might like that one too. First book is Darker Shade of Magic. VE Scwabb. Subtle Magic, Multiple Parallel Versions of London, charismatic rogue types, schemes etc

I'm now ever so slightly annoyed with you. I'm coming up on the end of the third book in this series, The Republic of Thieves, and learning that it's not the end of the story and there's been a planned sequel fans have been awaiting for 12 years now... This keeps happening to me!

Since it's primarily TikTok fan base thing, I doubt most of them have the attention span to make any real connections. For those few that do manage to develop real relationships and learn other languages/cultures, I agree that it's fantastic. I'm just used to the stupidity of Americans in groups...
