Today is Fairy Tale Friday for my 2nd Grader. We're reading the Billy Goats Gruff and as an activity the kids can finish the story themselves. I thought I'd extend the courtesy to all of you.
A comic adaptation of the three Billy goats gruff. The first panel has the troll talking. The second panel has the goat talking. The third panel is left intentionally blank for people to fill in themselves.

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis.

#iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls
Just before Christmas, I got a puppy. Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie. I'm still learning how to understand her. Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo? Do you need to do a widdle piddle? Minnie: Arf! *I just call her "little baby" most of the time. I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now. Nobody tells you about that. I got so lucky with my first puppy. Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now. Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport. I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers. I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless. The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective. I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition. ICE will pick up anybody. I know that. So I tucked my passport away. And I largely avoid leaving my house. I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too. And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized. We'll do our best to get through this. Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

Catching up with what James Gurney, the Dinotopia artist, is up to these days. Pathetic.

Cartoon-like illustration of a blue haired and bearded giant's head, with closed eyes and a smile, nestled amid a green and brown forest and purple mountains. Two houses are visible in front of the giant, while another is perched atop its head. Image from board game publisher Buried Giant Studios head and shoulders photo of a man with brown hair, swept to one side in a parting, and a brown beard. He wears a blue and white striped shirt and is wearing a grey-green rucksack. A library is visible, but blurred, in the background, as is a marble-like bust. Cole Wehrle, Root and Arcs designer and co-founder of Buried Giant Studios. Head and shoulders photo of a smiling man with short, spiky brown hair and a full brown beard, wearing a maroon button-up top. He is in front of a brick wall. Kyle Ferrin, board game artist and co-founder of Buried Giant Studios. Cartoon-like illustration of a woodland, featuring a large tree, river, shed-like building and more trees in the background. Four anthropomorphic nimals dressed in cloaks and medieval-style clothes look at each other from each corner - a mouse, bird, cat and raccoon. The word ROOT is visible in the centre of the image. Box cover for the board game Root.

I am really excited for Cole and Kyle to be branching out this way. I have nothing but admiration for the skill and craft they bring to the field. I believe this change will best serve the audience of Oath and Arcs. I am excited to see what both organizations can accomplish. Good luck Cole and Kyle.

I have an important announcement. Kyle and I are going to be leaving Leder Games to start a new venture. It has been an honor to spend the past eight years working with them. We wish them all the best of luck, and cannot wait to show you what we are working on next.

Part of this announcement is that I’m already working on a SET of Arcs expansions with @colewehrle.bsky.social Here are some pieces to speculate wildly about. #arcsboardgame #boardgames #illustration

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Fire sprinklers in movies never act like real fire sprinklers and it’s usually only used in a pretty major plot way.

Lens flare.

It's just one of those things that I used to not notice it but then once someone pointed out how it was very much A Thing for awhile whenever I see a lens flare I twitch.

It doesn't even mean it's done bad or poorly I'm just petty.
