the internet gave us a sort of low-grade telepathy, an ability to see what other people are thinking and if it has taught us anything, it is that most people are out of their goddamn minds (not you, reading this, of course, I mean those other people)

Hi everypony. We want to announce the results of The Hilton’s investigation into what caused the fire alarm at this year’s convention, what steps we’re taking to reduce the likelihood of it happening again, and what our plans are if further fire evacuations occur.

Mathematician Karl Weierstrass was born #OTD, Halloween, in 1815. 🧪 🎃
The fools at The Academy all said he was mad, but in 1872 he announced that he had succeeded in creating a ~monster~. 🧵

I like how I feel wearing this. I’ve always been indifferent to myself in the mirror but this just gives me a massive grin.
It is however 100% polyester which I wouldn’t recommend for a packed gig and a circle pit.
Also no pockets. Just fucking give everyone pockets!

Thinking about the 1999 TV spot for NIN’s “The Fragile” (yes there were TV commercials for new albums back then) directed by David Carson, how magnificently artfuck it was, how much I learned from helping Carson make this. You can imagine how much this confused the late 90s mainstream alt-rock crowd

Anyone remember Claire La Mouf, the skunk character I used to draw a lot in the furry art archive days?
(Heck, remember furry art archives?)
I hadn’t drawn Claire in a while. Here she is being, as I hope the kids still say, a mood.

We lost Dragoneer yesterday. He was always enthusiastic and supportive of furry artists. He supported my comic in its early days. I was touched, and on p48 you'll find a cameo of Preyfar the hyena, his fursona at the time, present at a touching moment in the story. Rest in peace, fella.
