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.

News of this apparently broke a week or two ago and I missed it at the time, but this Carl Barks Studio Edition is coming from Fantagraphics next summer.
The Carl Barks Fantagraphics Studio Edition, edited by Kim Weston. The cover shows a sample preliminary sketch by Barks of Scrooge, Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

years ago, I did some art for Hollywood Records, which was part of Disney - when the AD kept ignoring my invoices, I started repeatedly faxing (that's how long ago this was) a cartoon of myself with Mickey Mouse in a choke hold, holding a gun to his head. They Fed-Exed the check the next day.

Which reminds me of my favorite aggrieved freelancer story of all time: In the late '90s, when a writer set up a tent in the lobby of Bob Guccione's Gear magazine and refused to leave until his long overdue invoice was paid. It worked! Hero!

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a one-day visit Tuesday to Spain and seized the opportunity to view Pablo Picasso’s “Guernica.”

Have you ever just wanted to unleash an entire screaming horde of winged monkeys on your D&D party?
Yep, we can help with that - in Primal Encounters: live on Kickstarter now!

Oil painting in bright pinks and dark purple/blues. The main figure is a bone-and-corset clad lady with half a shaved head, screaming and gesturing into the night. Around her hordes of small winged monkeys fly off to do her bidding.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here
