Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal
Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

I am baffled that the only trends I am years ahead of internet trends on are all explicitly water related: singing sea shanties, love of crabs, love of the song The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It's always very weird to have stuff I like come up in pop culture.

Ended up having to do a lot of driving this weekend, turned on the Steven Universe soundtrack for nostalgia. I'm amazed at how many songs I still remember now despite it being QUITE a while since I've heard them. I haven't played my ukulele since I wore my Young Greg costume...maybe I should soon.

Was happy to finally grab a copy of this - it had been out of stock most places near me and I hadn't been in a state to remember to look for it, but it ended up being in an indie geek store down in Virginia Beach.

OK so I did not get a hot-rodded exo-loader, but I did buy cybernetic fangs (and failed the install roll so they're definitely going to break and that's going to be Embarrassing) and did immediately get to bite a man to try to evade corpo capture, so I'd say this is a win so far.
I may or may not be planning on trying to ask how to hotrod an exo-loader in my Mothership game, because uhhhh I think our characters have had a pretty good run but I suspect tonight is gonna be game-ending 🫠
I do wonder though, has anyone bothered to make rules for this yet?
