to clarify what I mean by this: when I made the sea lion comic a decade ago, I got the sea lion image from some downstream collection of "vintage animal images". Recently I managed to discover where that image came from originally – a German naturalist book – & I have now obtained a copy.
I love stumbling across an earlier (or the original) version of some image I've encountered multiple generations and reprints later.
I found the original Sea Lion engraving in a German naturalist book. It was a research project I undertook a few months ago. A story also waiting for the right time.

the most unsettling part of the presidential Turkey Pardon is not the cheeky reminder that we, the state, have temporarily given one person power over life and death – but rather the implication that this preening, Beautiful Turkey has committed Federal Crimes

So hopefully we know about supporting small businesses etc etc. But what are some genuine good deals you know about today? I'm thinking about subscriptions you might want anyway, which happen to be discounted at the moment.

![Apronni speaks further with the little bird, who is perched on his sill.
APRONNI: You’re really THE bird! The little bird who tells people things! WOW! I hear about you all the time! This is incredible!
BIRD (setting a straw hat jauntily upon his little bird head): Yeah, well, I got fifty thousand more tidbits to tell people before 9PM, so…
APRONNI: Is it — JUST you? ALWAYS? There isn’t a little bird corps? You’re THE little bird?
BIRD: I used to have a lizard and a raccoon helping me out too, but it muddled the brand.
[CUT AWAY TO: A new man, Cuthbert, addresses his coworker]
CUTHBERT: ’Morning, Jerbert! A weird raccoon told me your daughter’s about to graduate from kindergarten!
JERBERT: You are never to talk TO or OF my family EVER AGAIN
[BACK TO SCENE]
APRONNI: Sure, I can see that.
APRONNI: But WHY do you go around telling people things? What’s your angle?
BIRD: Right now I’m just building up a dedicated user base. I’ll probably pivot to a freemium model later](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kihgsldesfdvdp7fi65m3m45/bafkreiei3yxkrq2uif26cp6l2yrnmuagbrb3opj2bxkaogxrlnmxlcalye@jpeg)

The last time I launched a Kickstarter campaign, in 2019, the thing to expect was a bunch of soliciting DMs from marketing agencies and so on. Now they don't come through KS, they come via email. Par for the course.
But a special wag-o-the-finger to the ones claiming to be FROM Kickstarter!

I've had the honor of not only playtesting Bolted, but also watching the absolute care to detail @davidmalki.com has put into this project via WIP. It's INCREDIBLE. So much fun to play – @makinaro.com & I laughed A LOT! I just backed it and you should too! 🥳🙌 www.kickstarter.com/projects/mal...
