Woe Is Me Stuff:

Dunno what it is today, virus or psychic damage from a crapsack world, but I'm barely functional. Even coffee failed. Shame because this past month has been an improvement.

I'll do a laundry and see how I feel from there.

I want everyone to understand this:

Musk has been forcing Grok's coders since Day One to make it as close to him in thought, belief, and in action as possible.

If Grok is okay with CSAM it means Musk is okay with CSAM.

Grok needs to be unplugged. Musk needs to be plugged.
Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

I sometimes think about doing something like this but I know it will be a lot of me going, "I don't know what that is," and "Ew. I don't wanna draw that crap."

I'd do badly on Patreon.
You know what...
New year seems like a good time to do one of these again.

Give me your best suggestions!

About Canada:

The answer to Paris' question is that 95% of Canada's news organizations are owned by American corporations with close ties to the Republican Party, or Canadian corporations with close ties to American corporations with close ties to the Republican Party.
also like, why is this in the irish times? why haven’t we seen comprehensive reports like this in canadian media?

it’s like she was sanctioned then they all moved on to the next trump story of the week like lemmings
It is to Canada's shame we have not spoken out or supported a Canadian judge being sanctioned by the US

Her life is frozen. She cannot use credit cards, travel, move money, or access email. This is not sustainable

This why I'm considering switching over to a wool houppelande for the winter.

Just to get ahead of the trends.

Inks done. Next is scanning and some Krita time. Large black fills and the many corrections will be done digitally.

Still going back and forth about this format. Trying to balance phone-friendly with not-shit is hard.

In theory it gets posted by the end of the month.

* Flint knapping

* Hunt a mammoth

* Avoid Ea Nasir's poor quality copper
It's 2026.

Things many American school kids probably don't know how to do:

* Dial a rotary telephone

* Tell time from an analog clock

* Read or write cursive

* Decipher Roman numerals

* Navigate with a paper map or use a compass

* Balance a checkbook

(Please add more below)

Since I did this last year and I need to kill a bit of time right now...

I watched less YouTube in 2025 because both their ads (app and TV are unwatchable now) and their AI slop (insulting shit) went off the scale last year. But these four channels remain.

For now.

Inking Music - Nervous Breakdown by Fu-Schnickens

This is my type of hip hop: Funky loops, boombap drums, and lyrical gymnastics. The baseline on "Breakdown"? That's the sort of bassline that makes you go to a music store and buy a bass.

A gold nugget from the golden era.

Hrm. There are more wiggles in my lines than before. Yeah, yeah, "Use a ruler," but even the lines that don't need straight edges wobble.

Getting old I guess.

Part of me wants to go full Jules Feiffer, lean into the wobble, and toss out all attempts at depicting some sort of reality.

I didn't see any much-deserved smiting happening yesterday.

Sorry gods, my atheism remains intact.
Dear God(s)

I know you don't exist because you would have smote the fuck out of a LOT of world leaders and billionaires already.

But if you DO decide to reveal yourself and start throwing thunderbolts on the last day of 2025 I will consider renouncing my atheism. Thank you.

In Dog's name, Amen.

This is good for an afternoon's work. I had to stop before completing the second page because I was getting fumble-fingered and missing lines and smearing wet ink.

Nothing so bad I need to scrap the page and start over, thankfully. Just a bit of extra work in Krita is all.

I think a good a noble project would be to track down the ID of the gutter racist(s) posting the gutter racism and making it so they can't go to restaurants anymore.
you genuinely have to wonder if the governments of the future only get more online from here on

i would prefer government officials not post gutter racism

It was Much Music up here in Canada and it followed much the same trajectory as MTV. Including spin off music channels for now aging Gen Xers.

It was openly stated the changes were because "Ren & Stimpy and Pop Up Video brings in far more viewers."

I would like to announce that I'm moving to South Korea in early 2002. Wish me luck for this thing I did decades ago.
MTV is officially ending all of its music channels.

In honor of that, what's your favorite music video?

This seems like a good batch.

The 4B pencils are on both sides of the pages since I did corrections on the light table by flipping them. I'll be erasing the extra lines that make things confusing and then taping them to Deleter A4 comic paper.

Then back on the light table for inking.

=Laughs in Linux=

For real tho: There's little left that Windows can do that Linux can't these days.

(rhetorical "You") might have to roll up your sleeves if something isn't working straight out of the box, but if that's enough to keep you on Windows 11 then you're the architect of your own pain.

The guy was acting like Marjorie Taylor Greene was Vegeta doing a face-turn instead being Majinbuu looking for another person to eat.

Okay, I need a boot in the ass.

Give me one of these ಠ_ಠ if I don't show you some inked comic pages by Friday afternoon, AST.
