I just can't get over the fact that Queen victoria was so short that this woman is on her knees and can still reach the collar of Vicki's mourning dress.

I was on a threads post where it was pointed out that the Morton's Salt logo has had no updates since 1968. Of course, there's no real need to (if it ain't broke, don't fix it), but I Imagined a 21st century update. She'd at least be given pants.

This collage of the Morton's Salt girl shows a pretty good 20th century progression of little girls' fashion as well as popular art styles.

Please remember, everything he's doing -- tearing down the WH wing, pardoning and commuting the worst of the worst, shutting down government, posting that stupid AI vid -- is to enrage us. We can always rebuild the WH and reinstate departments. Keep grey rocking until his end.

I don't even remember the previous story that inspired this cartoon, but Trump is trying again for the Nobel Peace Prize, so it's well aged. From 2018.

Dont tell Jennifer that editorial cartoons and Art Speigelman' Maus exist. 🙄
Screenshot of an FB post by a woman named Jennifer expressing dissapointment that a comic was not comedic as she expected of the medium.

I missed #LewisBlack. I still think of his rant over video showing a Starbucks across the street from another Starbucks.

Why would a Quebecois cartoonist contribute to MAGA propaganda?

Trying to sell #AI #art at Dragon Von is a bold (and stupid) move.

Why tear up a permission slip when you could have just refused to sign in the first place?

FB memories reposted this old picture that still baffles me. I was given an "art kit" that was intended to be used together. I dont expect the averge person to be well informed on proper art supplies, but who the hell has uses watercolor on a goddamn canvas?
