I think the greatest movie that we'll never get to see is: shadowy black ops agents repeatedly attempting to murder Clark Kent, because he's breaking a huge story about tech-adjacent, governmental corruption, and repeatedly (ludicrously) failing, because they have no idea he's Superman

Become ungovernable
SUV marked for Canton (MA) Animal Control parked in a driveway. A large tabby housecat with a collar is hanging on the rear passenger door and peering in suspiciously at the inside of the cabin.

Picard perspective tip: Neither the sun, the moon, the stars, nor any asteroids revolve around you. You are a dust mote with ideas.

It's mushroom season again, so here's a guide to the different mushroom types that I made last year. If you're new to mushrooms and curious about the NSFW one, look up stinkhorns. I'm sorry/you're welcome.
A comic titled "Types of mushrooms" with 12 mushroom species. A wrinkly-looking morel is labeled "creepy but tasty". A brownish deadly galerina is labeled "boring but deadly". A witch's butter on a branch is labeled "jiggles if you poke it". A large puffball is labeled "egg". A creepy red-dripping bleeding tooth fungus is labeled "deeply disconcerting". A fly agaric with a green treefrog sitting under it is labeled "frog umbrella". A black chanterelle is labeled "chalice for forbidden elixers". Three straight-stemmed entolomas are labeled "haha, nipples". A bright purple viscid violet cort is labeled "purple is nice". A birch polypore sticking out of a birch trunk is labeled "tree nose". A complex yellow-tpped coral fungus is labeled "cursed citadel where dwells a fairy queen". A Ravenel's stinkhorn is pixellated at the top for your safety, and labeled "NSFW".

pandora's box
Four panel black and white cartoon comic. In the first panel, a cartoon cat approaches an ornate box labelled "pandoras box". In the second panel, the cat opens it, unleashing dark monsters. In the third panel, the darkness dissipates and the cat steps into the box. In the final panel, the cat purrs in the box happily. In the background, the cat's owner runs away from a bunch of dark monsters while screaming. One monster has clamped onto their head.

Daily bunny no.2800 is back. He is home
A bunny plays Charleton Heston's character at the end of "Planet of the Apes". He stands on a beach in front of a ruined bunny statue of liberty: a vestige of the long-gone bunny civilization. Seeing it, he curses, throwing up his fists in frustration.

Customized sky bit [2/2]
Panel 5/7, two crows chilling by some windows, this one is shaped square, with a diamond in it's center, and is bordered by thick foliage. Panel 6/7, two crows chilling by some windows, this one is shaped like a circle, and the glass is designed to look like a moon amidst the stars. Panel 7/7, two crows chilling by some windows, this one is shaped like an arc in bright pink. The crows remark that humans are very particular about the shape and color of the sky bit they can, and that they love fun-shaped views (windows) because it makes them feel fancy. Bonus panel, the two crows marvel at a crow themed stained glass saying they get the appeal now.

Panel 1/7, two crows chilling by some windows, this one is shaped like a blue hexagon and is bordered by blue roses. Panel 2/7, two crows chilling by some windows, this one is shaped like a rectangle, has shutters, and has a flower box filled with daisies. Panel 3/7, two crows chilling by some windows, this one is shaped like a narrow rectangle, with medieval inspired stonework and lanterns. Panel 4/7, two crows chilling by some windows, this one is shaped like a really big rectangle, but the glass is split in triangle sections at the top.

A COZY BABY WITH A DIRECT SIGHTLINE INTO THE ETERNAL VASTNESS OF THE ABYSS
Guinness the black cat curls up into a cozy ball on a grey and white blanket. However, he gazes into the distance with a haunted, thousand-yard stare.

i envision a utopian future for technology, where when you launch your computer there are no more programs, no more browsers, but just 4 buttons that say "Gamble", "Goon", "AI", and "Borrow Money At An Exorbitant Interest Rate"

ALIENS (1979)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 23” x 14”

The concept here is that the aliens and the lone human-—who is an alien to the others—are posing for a group photograph, with the photographer being out of view to the right. 1/4
A group of aliens surround a bearded human as they strike a pose for a group photo. The aliens resemble Earth animals ranging from lizards, birds, and fish to more wildly imagined creatures.
