Artists, quote with your sketch and final!
It's still strange to me that every time I post this Octorok, the sketch ALWAYS does better than the final because people are so interested in the explanation of James Gurney's "Windmill Principle". I don't blame them, it's a really neat technique!

the jeff bezos owned washington post is the outlet responsible for making sure the primary complaint about AI was water. this may have been in part because jeff knew it was bullshit, so when amzn gets blowback they can easily prove their water footprint is small

DUCKS is one of the best graphic works of the last decade and everyone should buy it.
I can't think of what would be the best Hark A Vagrant but everyone should know Kate Beaton

Fruit Boss, our new game is now available. Simple, stackable, set collection. Easy to learn and love. Perfect for two players with rules for up to four. We also wrote and recorded a theme song, sorry.

I'd just like to point out that we spent an entire shipment of air defense interceptors' worth of money on new signs for a name change that isn't even legally the name of the DoD.
Ukraine is currently experiencing rolling blackouts from Russian strikes, btw.

Letterheads and signage alone would quickly run the bill upward of $1 billion, with a full overhaul likely rising to double that amount.
Trump’s Insane Pentagon Name-Change Likely to Cost Taxpayers $2 Billion
Changing signage and stationary alone for the Department of Defense would cost at least a billion dollars.
