My name is Brian, an artist who goes by the handle of Burky! I am a Dublin illustrator based in Belfast, N Ireland. I like to work on characters based on pop culture and other niche interests.
As a guy who happens to be very much a walking hot water bottle temp wise, I very much am enjoying this crispy, cold weather. Bliss ❄️

"Get his ass” Is so unreasonably funny to me. A huge win for the English language. Today's version of "seize him" imo

He co-wrote two classic "Treehouse of Horror" segments with Greg Daniels -- "The Devil and Homer Simpson" and "Time and Punishment".
The latter may be my favorite ToH segment. Its first 40 seconds are absurd comedy gold.
Rest in peace, Dan, and thanks for the laughs.

Dan McGrath wrote four episodes of "The Simpsons" and each one is a fuckin' banger. I never met him, but his work had a profound impact on my young (at the time) mind.
"Bart of Darkness" -- the S6 premiere -- is a personal fave. "Kippers for breakfast, Aunt Helga? Is it St. Swithin's day already?"

Bill Oakley shared this sad news on Twitter, hadn’t seen it here yet: Dan McGrath has passed away.
A fantastic writer for SNL, Simpsons, Mission Hill (he wrote many fan’s favorite episode), King of the Hill, The PJs, and Gravity Falls. Any comedy nerd of the last 40 years knows so much of his work

I made the mistake of delving into a thread about genAI over on r/Ireland.
Couldn't help but lay into someone doing the "artists are gatekeepers" shite.

Donald Trump, the 45th & 47th US president is paedophile and has been one for decades. An open secret that we already know. The media needs to reference this fact and attach it to every article, news report, op-ed, segment moving forward. The media omitting this is an act of complicity otherwise.
