Well, they got married at the finale of the strip, so their families are now blended.

My idea was that Milo’s overalls were always long and nobody ever knew it until Emmy inherited them and rolled the cuffs down.

Llewellyn tells a long and probably irrelevant story to the three fox children he’s somehow responsible for: Milo, Emmy, and Ozy. (Emmy is courtesy of @animatronikki.bsky.social)

I’ve been told I talk like Lilith by two different complete strangers.

I’ve always thought so.

Same.

She died, tragically, many years ago now! Her backstory is a bit sad. But she’s here now.

Dana Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror 🎃 @danacorn.bsky.social · 12h

Unless they don’t!

Dana Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror 🎃 @danacorn.bsky.social · 12h

Not so far!

Dana Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror 🎃 @danacorn.bsky.social · 12h

Sorry, my team keeps beating yours.

Dana Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror 🎃 @danacorn.bsky.social · 12h

I didn’t say I necessarily had regrets. ;)

If the Mariners are setting me up for disappointment this year, they’re sure leaving it until the last minute.

I know them!

Dana Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror 🎃 @danacorn.bsky.social · 15h

I’m sure they know each other!

it's always the beautiful dance between "no one is saying this" and some other guy saying "this!" in exactly the same thread

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

She’s my OC from RPing ghosts with @animatronikki.bsky.social

She isn’t officially a canon O&M character. But, as with Claire and other furry OCs of mine, there’s no reason she couldn’t be. And I think she’d be friends with the gang.

I was walking with a ghost
I said please, please don’t insist

Milo, with his ghost friend, the late Molly Foxley.

Two fox kids walking at night. One of them is a ghost. She looks okay with it.

I wasn’t going to volunteer that information! But I remember it well.

I drank a large number of martinis from the open bar, and you expressed admiration for my ability to do that, and then I barfed in the hotel room because I actually can’t do that.

You want to put ME in a sensitive position involving the life or death of millions? I think that’s a really bad idea.

That said, feel free to send me your best equine buttcracks and I’ll consider your proposal.

Fun fact: Dr. Rasmussen and I are friends from high school.

I think it’s funny that Angie is a public figure because she’s really really smart, and she does something really important, and I’m a public figure because I make up things about unicorn snot and draw a lot of equine buttcrack.

Angie Rasmussen @angierasmussen.bsky.social · 17h

@thewarningses.bsky.social & I talked about the CDC. So what if it's not functional? Does it matter? They screwed up the pandemic!

It matters a lot. We need the CDC for the same reason we need the Army: save American lives & defend national security

A conversation with Dr Angela Rasmussen about the CDC

The CDC is being systematically dismantled. So what? What do we need public health for anyway?
