The good people of Balmer have seen @#$% you wouldn't believe over the decades. They are not going to back down or roll over when evil comes to their city.

I took film classes from a Czech guy who was like, when I was in my country I make movie about cat who wears sunglasses and he shows people true feelings. And years later I saw it and it kicks ass. It's called the cat who wore sunglasses.

A Far Side cartoon showing a man in a helmet, captioned: “Donning his new canine decoder, Professor Schwartzman becomes the first human being on earth to hear what barking dogs are actually saying.” Speech bubbles from the dogs indicate that they are all yelling “Hey! Hey! Hey!”

his ultimate foe

---------------------
bonus comics:
patreon.com/nhoj
4 panel comic P1: a simplified version of Spider-man, and a Green Goblin-ish looking guy, with a dollar sign symbol on his chest, square off against one another. Spidey has his dukes up, while Not-Gobby looks utterly apathetic. Text at the top reads "Spider-man vs. Co$tolivin" P2: We are now looking over the shoulder of Co$tolivin, as he stares implacably at Spidey. The latter stands, legs akimbo, and points accusingly at the other, while saying "your days of villainy are OV--" P3: A dramatic Dutch angle of Co$tolivin, as three speech bubbles shoot out of his mouth toward us. They each say RENT, BILLS, and FOOD. P4: Spidey's dead body lays facedown on the ground, surrounded by a pile of speech bubbles.

Admiral's brain (represented by a turtle with a t-shirt saying "my brain") runs into the room, scaring Admiral. Brain: I'm freaking out! My life is a mess!! It's time to worry!! - Admiral: Is something wrong, or were you bored and need something to focus on? - Admiral: What's the difference?

Mature Drinks for Mature People - Gator Days
Mature Drinks for Mature People - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August and Gustopher are at a small coffee shop to get some drinks. The employee at the cash register looks like they haven't slept in a couple days. They probably haven't. I hope they're okay. August: One medium mocha and a small hot cocoa with extra whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles. Gustopher: WAIT! Panel 2 Gustopher has grown much more mature and sophisticated in this past year. He is becoming a man of fine taste and wishes for only the most sophisticated of drinks to sip on this cold autumn day. Gustopher: My tastes are maturing. I want my drink to reflect that. Panel 3 Gustopher slaps on his most adult and sophisticated looking face. He's prepared for this moment. He's ready. He's going to order his drink. Gustopher: I WANT- Panel 4 Gustopher: A hot cocoa with extra whipped cream and CHOCOLATE sprinkles. The employee has become distracted by their phone. WOW! There's a video of an absolutely very real bird flying off with an absolutely very real baby. This is clearly a video that was recorded by an actual living individual and not made by a computer. Why isn't someone doing something about all these birds flying off with babies? That's like the fiftieth video I've seen on the topic this week.

Remember: don't eat the mid tier fast food chicken, don't play the wizard game, don't shop at the hobby store run by the bad guys from Indiana Jones, and don't donate to the bigot bucket.

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season
A I age showing a typical collection bucket for the salvation army which is read with a lid holding mechanism on a tripod holder. There is a big stop/do not symbol over the hand depositing money with the words "we don't donate to the Bigot bucket" over the bottom bucket section

If you are not familiar with the story of the Crazy Castle series (including Garfield Labyrinth), I highly recommend this video. Explanation starts around 13:02.

How to Food - Gator Days
How to Food - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August has a variety of ingredients on the kitchen counter. Including "Meaty Sodium Strips", cheese, eggs, an onion, a tomato, and what one might assume is olive oil but the bottle says "All of Oil" so honestly, I don't know what it is. Gustopher is unsure what this is all about. August is wearing his "COOKING PAPA" apron. Gustopher: Are you making omelettes? August: I'm teaching you how to make them. Panel 2 Gustopher is surprised. His Dad has always taken care of the majority of cooking. The Meaty Sodium Strips are just chilling on the counter. Gustopher: Really? You always make breakfast. August: I won't always be around to make it. Panel 3 Suddenly, Gustopher is hit with an overwhelming sense of dread. He's not really registering what his dad is saying. The Meaty Sodium Strips sit menacingly on the counter. August: And learning to cook is important. First we should- Panel 4 Gustopher flings his arms in the air and yells out- Gustopher: I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE! It occurs to August that he probably could have phrased his comment about not being around to make breakfast a little better. The Meaty Sodium Strips want you to know that one strip contains five hundred times your recommended daily allotment of sodium.

Hi. It's me. I'm here to gently ask if you've been giving yourself grace? Patience? Self-care?

You've got this. You are enough, and you deserve all the good things.
