it happened. about a week or two ago, i threw away a length of velcro that had been sitting in a utility drawer taking up space for years. i was just now trouble-shooting a project for tomorrow and realized that one thing that would be perfect for this project’s success would be… a length of velcro.

Lucky duck

Comic illustration of Boyd Batkowsky, a batboy, standing hunched over while his mental illness rests standing on his shoulders. It is an old-timey devilish creature wearing a top hat and monocle, a leopard print caveman suit, and he has Popeye arms. Batboy considers himself lucky that his mental illness predates the advent of smart phones, social media, and online sports gambling.
