Stoat Quest episode 11 (ish)
Picking up from the previous comic, the stoat (LeStoat) and the marten (Martenelli) have been buried by a bunch of "guests" after the marten role-played as a bed so well they were mistaken for a literal comfy bed. Sitting on top of them are Kieran the shrew, a skunk, Dollie the merganser, and the willow ptarmigan who warns people about werewolves. Stoat: Erm. Ok. The bed is nearing max capacity. As long as no one else- Enter a wolverine, grinning maniacally, flipping up both middle claws, and wearing a pink leopard-print speedo. Wolverine: Whattup, b**ches! I'm a wolverine! And I heard there's a f*ckn cozy-*ss bed in here! Wolverine: Make room for my big furry a*se! The wolverine gleefully leaps into the "bed," while all the "guests" stare in shock and horror at the incoming bulk. The wolverine lands ungracefully on the bed, smothering everyone. The wolverine instantly falls asleep and starts snoring loudly, with all the others buried underneath. Only the stoat and marten's front paws are seen from under the sleeping wolverine, holding each other. Stoat: You ok? Marten: Yeah. I'm kinda into this, actually. You? Stoat: Actually yeah. I'm into this, too. Marten: F yeah. Stoat: F yeah.

Stoat Quest episode 10-ish
The stoat (LeStoat) and marten (Martenelli) are in the "inn" from the previous comic, with the stoat lying in the "bed" (which is really the marten roleplaying as the bed). Stoat: Such a comfy, cozy bed. Nothing could spoil this moment. A tiny shrew in winter hat approaches. Shrew: Oi! It's cold out there! Is this inn open? Mind if I snuggle into that bed with you? A skunk approaches. Skunk: Ooo! That bed looks sweet! Can I join you? I'm a bit pungent, but some find that charming. Dollie the merganser approaches. Sea bird: Heyyy. I need a nice, warm nest to plunk down in and pop out some eggs. The willow ptarmigan from a previous comic and the Charlie Brown Christmas spoof animation approaches. Ptarmigan: I also need a safe bed! There's too many werewolves out tonight. All the guests (shrew, skunk, merganser, and ptarmigan) are flopped on top of the stoat and marten, and are sleeping peacefully. The stoat and marten peek out from under the pile. Stoat: Are... all these people still just you playing multiple roles? Marten: I'm flattered you'd think that, but no. No, that wouldn't be possible, even for me. Not yet, at least.

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

It's #blackhistorymonth . Are you supporting BLACK #indieanimation and black independent media as a whole ? There's so many black indie creators making our work because studio systems tell us there's no audience. Check out this thread for a plethora of BLACK INDIE projects .

Think of a wonderful thought 🎶
A punk alpaca flying through the night sky with stars and clouds around and maybe a little fairy or pixie nearby. Alpaca: Maybe he'll watch the Bad Bunny halftime show and get so mad his moldy orange head will explode like a gremlin in the microwave! Made with gouache, watercolor, pen, and color pencils.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Sequel to last week's pic where Twy stole all the pillows and cushions. (also they probably mean the pillow world from that episode of AT)
A mysterious ceremony with occult symbols drawn on the floor. The cult members, including the punk alpaca, the wizard desert rain frog, and five strange-looking snails (one with a cone-shaped shell and robe, one with symbols painted on shell, one with melting candle on shell, and one with extra tentacles emerging from shell opening) are gathered around the circle. Alpaca: Twyla's being broody. We'll have to build our gateway to the pillow dimension another night. Made with pen, pencil, watercolor, and gouache.

Stoat Quest episode 9-ish.
Part 1 of the comic. The stoat (LeStoat) and marten (Martenelli) are wandering the snowy wasteland. The marten is still a wizard. Stoat: Questing has left me weary. I need to rest. Marten Wizard: There's an inn up ahead. Wait here while I go check with the innkeep. Panel 2: Marten Wizard: (Off screen) Ok you can come talk to the innkeep. Part 2: The stoat approaches the "inn." It's just a tree stump. The innkeep looks suspiciously like the same marten but now dressed as an innkeep with whiskers combed into a handlebar mustache. Stoat: Erm... hi. Marten Innkeep: Hello, weary traveler. I suppose you're looking for a comfy bed. Wait here. I'll go prepare our comfiest, coziest, sexiest bed. Part 3 of the comic: The marten innkeep calls to the stoat from off screen. "Ok, the bed is ready. Come on in." The stoat sees the bed. It's a big furry brown lump that looks familiar. The stoat flops onto the "bed." Stoat: "Ah, yes! This is the comfiest bed I've ever flopped on!" Part 4 of comic: The stoat is curled up happily on the "bed." The bed (marten): *sniff* That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.
