I'm reading QC with a one-day delay (my silly brain wants the comic numbers to match the days of the week "like they used to"), but now I'm really tempted to make an exception and read today's comic right now... :D

"Box of IKEA leftovers" is the most relatable thing I've read in a while.

Ich habe 3 Browserfenster mit total 70 Tabs geschlossen!
Man gebe mir einen Keks!

... Natürlich habe ich davor noch "Bookmark All Tabs" verwendet, weil ich all die Wikipedia-Artikel über Dichter, Evolution und Schriftarten ja sicher irgendwann mal noch richtig durchlesen werde...

"The Name of the Rose", although I guess the rationalist is only annoying to other characters, not to the viewer.

Medieval scribe:
"ii" looks too much like "u", let's write "ij" instead.

Modern sign maker:
Let's put the "i" and "j" together in one box, like this!

Me, reading the sign:
SLUTERU?

So today I learned "cyclops" might not mean "circle eye" as I assumed (at least not originally).
Thank you for your interesting posts! :)

Holy... everything. Again and again I want to write "you must be a divine being", but that would be disregarding the actual work you're doing. Let me just say that from the outside, the results of your work look miraculous.

It seems so strange that these words are not related, but the graphic is very convincing. 😁

I don't know why, but reading about etymology makes my brain happy! 🤩 Even if I'll never be able to actually learn / memorize everything.

Cool additional information in the Patreon post, too!

"a slope of around 50 percent (26.6 degrees)" (source: Wikipedia 😁) is "near-vertical"?
Am I misunderstanding something?

Ich dachte gerade so "hach, der war SEXY", und jetzt frage ich mich, was ich damit überhaupt meine. Ich glaube sowas wie "meine Augen fühlen sich glitzer-herzförmig an, wenn ich die Person anschaue". 💖 😍 (Und in diesem Fall auch noch meine Ohren. 😆)

Sometimes I wonder if I'm boring because my favorite dinosaur is Triceratops... but in reality I'm boring for completely different reasons, and all dinosaurs are cool. 😀

If you have a birthday dinner outdoors around sunset, make sure you have sunglasses. My memory of my 40th birthday a few years ago consists mostly of being annoyed at the sun shining directly into my eyes.

(This is the only life advice I have. Still trying to figure out everything else.)

It's amazing how even your thumbnail sketches look like they should be in a museum. I'm always happy to see them in my timeline; thank you for posting them! ❤️

Bisschen was gezeichnet (Fineliner, ausgemalt mit Filzstiften, Original ca. 7 cm breit).

Feststellung beim Ausmalen: Es gibt keine Augenposition, aus der ich die Zeichnung scharf und gleichzeitig gross genug sehen kann.
Ist wohl Zeit für eine neue Brille... 👀

Ungefähr rotationssymmetrische mandala-ähnliche Zeichnung (Fineliner und Filzstift auf einem weissen Notizzettel). Geometrische Elemente in Gelb, Hellbraun, Dunkelbraun und Türkisblau. Blütenähnliche Elemente in Lachsrosa.

And here I was thinking the statistics regarding left-handedness were a perfect way to explain things to people who believe there are more LGBTQ* people nowadays because of "social pressures"...

I like how Trudeau used simpler language in the part of his speech directed at the so-called smart guy.
