People knew how to write headlines, once upon a time.

Tell children today that, they won't believe you.

Newspaper website headline: "Blind bisexual goose named Thomas who spent six years in a love triangle with two swans and helped raise 68 babies dies at the ripe old age of 40."

Hello #PortfolioDay

I'm Philip Rice / Spearhafoc. I do a pulp pastiche webcomic called The Apex Society, done in a variety of styles.

Comic book page in a style reminiscent of Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon. Closeup of a purple skinned man. A froglike humanoid alien sits on a throne surround by his consorts (of the same species). A Flash Gordon-like hero with red hair poses triumphantly as an Asian woman holds onto him and an old Asian man fiddles with a device behind him. Characters mounted on wolf-horse hybrids approach a scifi city of spires.

Cartoony comic book page. A dark skinned man looks at his own reflection in a hand-held piece of shattered glass. A Gordon approaches him from behind.

He's turned to stone as a Popeye-like character punches another Gordon and a man throws a grenade.

An explosion goes off and he see a gun firing at the Gordon that turned the black man to stone.

A retro-style comic book page with stylized flat colouring. Wealthy elites at a restaurant gossip about a man and his date, who they claim is a sex worker.

Manga style black and white page. Two large warriors with fox tails and elaborate haircuts harass a female fighter pilot. In the background, others of their kind battle ornithopters.

In the second panel, a flying fox-man looks down in shock to see the two warriors from the previous panel stretched out and twisted around each other. The female pilot is also shocked.

The Apex Society - Clarion Call Page 8. #art #webcomic #webcomics #comics #makecomics #scifi #sciencefiction #counterearth #creaturedesign #pulp #newspaperstrips

apexsociety.thecomicseries.com/comics/683

Retro style comics book page.

Panel 1: Richard Clayton Cold, Doctor Omega, and Southland Brown sit around a table looking at maps.

Caption: Doctor Omega's ship, the Cosmos, can travel by air, land, or under the sea. The Doctor, Richard Clayton Cold, and Southland Brown discuss which is the best route to the Amphibimen/Verdissia marchlands.

Panel 2: The Cosmos drives over grasslands. Blue ape-like warriors mounted on coyote-horses surround it.

Caption: Travel by land would take them through the lands of the Ghoulians, fierce warriors and staunch military allies of the Amphibimen.

Panel 3: The Cosmos traveling by air over a desert. Flying around it are men with pterodactyl wings. They are holding long spears with their feet and have guns mounted on their helmets.

Caption: While travel by air would inevitably lead to a confrontation with the airborne army of Pterrod.

The Pterrodans are officially neutral in the Great War due to a non-aggression pact with Rabazar, but are nevertheless tied economically to the Amphibimen. Furthermore, they would probably not take kindly to any craft emerging from the territory of Darr, their ancient enemies.

Panel 4: A hand points to a map.

Caption: Brown, ever the smuggler, suggests they use the Cosmos' submarine capabilities to travel through the Sea of Monsters and up the river to land near their destination, evading detection.

Next: Inspiration!

PHILOMENA CUNK: It was actually illegal in England for The Obese to be employed in the film business until 1983. Why do you think that was?

get the impression that the answer to "if 'AI' can never flip burgers, sew a t-shirt, pick strawberries or wipe an old person's ass, does that mean that is the critical work that defines humanity and everyone who has that kind of job deserves to be compensated extremely well?" is "also, somehow: no"

I hate that Sean Penn was so good in OBAA.

Jared Leto is so much easier to deal with for me, mentally. He's an offputting asshole with credible accusations against him that are reprehensible... AND he's painfully untalented.

since we're letting podcasters run the FBI now, I'd like to make it known to any future presidents that if you appoint me i will pronounce the "human" in "human trafficking" like Quark from DS9.

there will be no other substantial changes

thank you for your attention to this matter

I haven't tuned in to Knowledge Fight since the election, since the idea of hearing Alex Jones gloating bummed me out, but this sounds hilarious. I should jump back in.
