Bundle Boy no. 1

New comic about a little guy. I wonder what happens next?

Pt 1/3

#bundleboycomic #comic #webcomic

A mysterious smoldering campfire in the woods somewhere.

Firewood and kindling lie close to the stone circle of the fizzling campfire.

Close on the kindling; several wrapped and tied up bunches of twigs and dry grass.

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.

Tim Onion @bencollins.bsky.social · 2d

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

It was the 827 fights back on twitter that put yimby on my radar years ago. So pleased to see (and help!) the pro-housing movement grow into a force since then.

I’m convinced the main reason Miyazaki films have a reputation for being “cozy” in the West is because he actually writes and animates long moments of quiet into his stories, whereas Western animated films are usually a nonstop parade of loud music, sounds, noises and neon colors.

Miyazaki: in this movie two young girls (one is a toddler) are uprooted from everything they know to start new lives near the rural hospital their mother is in; she is possibly dying of TB. Their dad works several hours away and they are largely unsupervised.

AI Bros: so homey! So comfy!

every ai bro who has reduced miyazaki to empty gentle aesthetic should no exaggeration get the judas cradle bc this man's markmaking & passion about telling WAR STORIES

I do! I give my local YIMBY group 5 bucks a month because i think more housing would be good.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

#YIMBY does not miss this. In 2021 @cayimby.bsky.social sponsored a ballot initiative to repeal Article 34, the 1950-passed amendment that blocks all new rent stabilized housing construction in the state. Repealing Article 34 continues to be a goal of the organization.

A good enough reason to spend lots of time doing art is just that it’s fun to do art

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

When I am like now, where I am like 'damn I cannot draw and all I have ever made looks like a pile of shit' I find comfort in this. Artists are so fucking cursed, man. We're so cursed. 💀

beautiful

I am here to be rude, because this is a rude technology, and it deserves a rude response.
Miyazaki said, "I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself." Scam Altman said we can surround the solar system with a Dyson Sphere to hold data centers. Miyazaki is right, and Altman is wrong.
Miyazaki tells stories that blend the ordinary and the fantastic in ways people find deeply meaningful. Altman tells lies for money.
And I'm glad they're lies. Because the makers of Al aren't damned by their failures, they're damned by their goals. They want to build a genie to grant them wishes, and their wish is that nobody ever has to make art again. They want to create a new kind of mind, so they can force it into mindless servitude. Their dream is to invent new forms of life to enslave.
