I feel you, ancient Mongolian ceramic hedgehog. I feel you.
A small cartoon version of the ceramic Mongolian hedgehog shown in the quoted post. Behind him is the word AHHH in very large lettering. The caption under him says "just keep screaming".

A very good boy! 🐾🐕😍

An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest.

The Met 📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo shows a three quarter profile of an ancient Egyptian figurine of a leaping dog facing left. Carved from ivory, now a warm caramel brown colour with glossy surface. The dogs eyes are outlined in black, the ears are floppy, the mouth is slightly ajar (the inside of the mouth is painted red - not sen in my photo). The front and back legs are outstretched as if running at full speed. A lever under the dog’s chest opens and closes the mouth so that the dog looks as if it’s barking. Dimensions: L 18.2 cm × H 6.1 cm × W 3.6 cm. Dated to Late Dynasty I8, I400-I350 BC, reign of Amenhotep III who was Tutankhamun’s grandfather. The dog is mounted on a thin metal rod in a display case. In the background in the same display case is a ‘galloping’ brown horse, which is the handle of an ancient Egyptian fly whisk or light whip.

Life update:
GMA passed away in her sleep a week before Halloween… 1 day before her 99th bday.

Unlike GPa passing in 2020– we had family over to say goodbye.

We’ve adjusting to our new normal. We’re able to go out as a family, Hubs and I can leave the house at the same time.

My most strongly held comics opinion (I hesitate to say "opinion," because it's a fact): lettering should be the first finished thing done, not the last. Done after (or along with) roughs and finalized before pencils. Pencils and inking should be done AROUND the lettering.

This is how we approach our comic. Sanders & I write the dialog without panel direction. I (as the artist & letterer) decide how it’s presented.
schweizercomics.bsky.social Chris Schweizer @schweizercomics.bsky.social · 15d
I have a plot outline, but dialogue I either write as I thumbnail, or I write dialogue ahead of time without panel specification, but allow myself to alter it if doing so feels more right on the page. Either because of pacing, or sometimes (rarely) because of the shape the text creates.

Cover of I JUST CAME FROM HELL. It shows a pregnant Jes holding her belly in front of a negative tree. A pair of bloody hands reach out to grab her. Page 1 Five Panels 1 - EXT. Wide shot. The entrance to Cebe’s Hand, a wild swampland in the Florida Panhandle. While not as wild as being inside Cebe’s Hand will be. There is still tons of foliage and greenery around. A deer drinks from a nearby bed of water. An alligator lies in wait. JES (Off-Panel): June 6th, 2017. JES (OP): Lisa Leung arrived in Devil’s Garden, Florida with her now deceased fiancé, Jonathan Johnson, to visit his estranged parents, William & Mary, also now deceased. 2 - The Alligator slowly and quietly swims up towards the deer, who unknowingly continues to drink. JES (OP): What was supposed to be a day of reconciliation transformed into a night of horrors. 3 - Suddenly, the deer jerks its head up from drinking. SFX: shf shf JES (OP) A night where only Lisa would survive. 4 - …and darts away before the Alligator can strike. JES (OP): Supposedly, a church fire would claim 33 souls that night. Their bodies have never been found. JES (OP): But that doesn’t explain what happened next. 5 - Lisa, the noise that alerted the deer, walks down a dirt road, naked and bloodsoaked. JES (OP): The following morning, as the sun’s light broke over the horizon… JES (OP): …Lisa was seen stumbling, naked and bloodsoaked, down an old dirt road that leads from Cebe’s Hand, a tangled web of swampland that stretches across the Florida panhandle. Page 2 Seven Panels 1 - Sheridan Porter, a white man in his late 50s with leather tan skin, drives a middle of the road pick up truck. Not new, but not a beater either. It’s well maintained despite its age. He had a quizzical look on his face as he tries to make sense of this figure he sees ahead. JES (OP): Sheridan Porter, a Good Samaritan, who happened to be driving to his favorite fishing spot, was the first to find her. 2 - Wide shot of the truck pulling over as it nears Lisa. JES (OP): When he noticed the state Lisa was in, he pulled to the side of the road to help. 3 - Sheridan exits his truck as Lisa passes him by. JES (OP): As Sheridan approached, he could hear her talking to herself. LISA (to herself): I don’t know. I don’t know. I took a leap of faith… 4 - Sheridan approaches Lisa who does not notice him at all. JES (OP): If this all wasn’t strange enough, Lisa didn’t even notice him. JES (OP): It was like she was somewhere else. Lost in her own mind. LISA (to herself): This isn’t right. It shouldn’t be possible, but you’re still here. 5 - Lisa collapses into Sherdian’s arms. JES (OP): Sheridan stopped her and asked for her name and she immediately collapsed in his arms. SHERIDAN: Ma’am, are you okay? What happened to you? 6 - She weakly looks up at him. We can see both of them in this panel. JES (OP): She looked at him, finally realizing where she was, and quietly uttered a single sentence. 7 - Extreme close-up on Lisa’s exhausted, bloodsoaked face. JES (OP): M-my name is Lisa Johnson, and… Page 3 Splash The burned down ruins of The Sacred Heart Church from EAT MY FLESH, DRINK MY BLOOD. Near the back of the ruins, where the altar would be. We see the tree in the image above. Dead and without leaves. Its branches rise above the ruins lifted like hands/arms reaching for the sun. The title logo displayed over it. I JUST CAME FROM HELL
