Let's talk about barreleye fishes in family Opisthoproctidae. Take a minute to take in the image below.

What look like 'eyes' above the tiny toothless mouth are in fact chemosensory organs equivalent to nostrils.

The EYES are the green domes INSIDE THE TRANSPARENT HEAD. And they look *up*...

Gary Larson said he had a friend whose father once met a boyfriend of hers, and told him, “You know what your problem is, Edgar? You don’t have a purpose!”

That led him to making this comic.
Edgar finds his purpose.
(we're all cool enough to not have a conversation about why I'm not buying all of my brother's food, right? let's pretend we don't have to go down that road and ask that question and make me justify my financial situation and decisions)
not long ago I bought a rotisserie chicken on my way home from work and my brother who is on SNAP said something about how he wished he could buy hot food and I felt like history's greatest monster and gave him as much as he wanted
we do understand that a person on SNAP funds only gets a set amount every month and there are tons of restrictions on what they can be spend on, right? right???
(no)
oh he's got the tree hat, he's deffo Dipper
that confusing time of year where you wonder if that guy over there is just a guy or intentionally dressed as Dipper Pines

This mf destroyed homeless' camps with his own hands.
Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times
RIP Subnautica 2, if the previous drama wasn't enough, this is the final nail in the coffin.
Krafton (PUBG, Subnautica, Tango Gameworks) says it is now an "AI first" company, with automated work, AI-centric HR, management systems, and workflows, in-game AI, and a full company-wide AI infrastructure.

A teeny painting of the Bone dog from "Nettle and Bone" by T. Kingfisher. His anatomy is looking a little uh, a little off, but I feel like that only enhances the book accuracy of him

got some really good rocks for my birthday
but I've been making comics long enough (14+ years) that expectations of any other kind of success would just crush my heart
achieve on my own is continuing to make them despite lack of support/profit/interest of others
THAT SAID, I certainly still have hopes and dreams of my stories connecting with people or being of enough value that I could have printing/website/monetary etc support,
this may be a bummer answer but I've stopped worrying about what success would even look like for me, mostly because the biggest hurdles I have in making comics are time and energy versus people who make them to keep a roof over their head, but also because the only version of success I can
Comic creators, what is success for you?

For me, it's having built an audience that empowers me to tell a long-form story. By January we'll have completed the equivalent of 35 DM issues of the White Ash Saga. Not many indie series reach those #'s. And we're just getting started.
We're not alone...

Oh hey, a reason to be hopeful: groves of American chestnut trees have once again become self-reproducing in the wild.

Turned off comments so 12 people don't show up to tell me why this is actually very sad. Be happy, you assholes.
Nearly a Century Ago, American Chestnut Trees Died Off. Now, Hikers Can Walk Among Them Again.
Efforts to restore the American chestnut comprise "one of the most epic conservation stories ever told.”
