There's a reason being a plumber requires years of training and a liscence, Bowser...

Trivia notes:

My inspiration for comissioning this was the Dude Perfect Dad Stereotypes video. I got to the first DIY DAD section and thought: "This is Bowser, 10000%" Just with more collateral damage because Bowser.

Bowser Jr being a sassy gremlin child is always fun.

The reason he's not in the second panel is because the moment his dad mentioned Mario he knew where this was going and made a mad dash to safety. And to the best viewing point of the spectacle.

I just noticed Bowser Jr needing to stand on a stool in the first panel. Nice.

Update:

So, for those that want to know, I got it ALL out.

After some internet research and a few swipes to see if it worked, I figured it out.

First and most importantly, you need Cider Vinegar. Now this is good for you anyway and you are going to soak your whole self in it. Make sure to get a gallon or so. You can always make pickles or saurkraut with the leftovers, and it's good for cleaning as well. Make sure not to inhale or get it in your eyes. I've made pickles before, so I knew that going in.

Now we make the gook.

Start with chunky peanut butter(and yes, this is going to get messy!) and add equal parts mayo. Do Not Eat! Just kidding, unless you're pregnant, and then I'm wondering why the hell you were getting polyurethane on yourself in the first place because the fumes can't be good for little baminos. I wouldn't try this as a spa treatment while pregnant, either. Also, make sure the room is well ventilated. I wouldn't try this with bad asthma or COPD, either. Then again, the same question I asked the pregnant lady, why are you fucking around with Polyurethane?

Now the key ingredients. Add about 1/2 a bottle of this

and the entire bottle of this

Although this sounds like a lot, the castor oil is a sample sized bottle. I also keep an eye out for sales, and we have some wholesale outlets near us that lead to some good deals.

Now that you got that shit mixed, get in the tub(or some place you can clean easily) and go to town. For me, I was mostly soaked in my hair. I made sure I separated my hair by layers and up into the roots. I also parted it vertically as well as horizontally. Spread that leftover peanut butter mess everywhere. It's not going to be neat and even like a mask, but that's okay, it's chunky, family style.

Now comes the hard part. You got to let it sit. I made it about five minutes. The longer the better. The more oils you can let absorb in your skin, the better. When you can't stand it anymore, pour vinegar over everything to rinse. Use the chunks in the peanut butter to scrub, see there was a reason!, and rub as much in as you can. Then, for my skin, I rinsed with my regular body wash(Alba Botanica Hawaiian Detox Body Wash, Anti-Pollution Volcanic Clay) and my Supracor. (P.S. For super smooth skin, try using a body polish sugar scrub. Making sure that it says all four words. Otherwise, you are just dumping honey on your skin. And who would waste food like that? LOL)

For my hair I continued rinsing with a shampoo till all the shampoo was out. Then I put in some MORE conditioner,(the rest of the ORS) and let it sit while I cleaned the tub. Then I finished with a conditioning shampoo for curly hair.

Considering the amount of polyurethane in my hair? I would have considered not having to cut my hair a success. Not having to shower multiple times is also a good deal. I think the fact that my color didn't wash out is wonderful! My skin is still smooth 2 days later. I wish I could make money off this somehow...

Lesson Learned.

Never walk anywhere with an open can of polyurethane.

Also, if you do fall, aim away from your body.

Particularly your hair.

Especially if you just paid to have it done.

More especially, don't grab for a paint can in a flimsy thin plastic tray.

Bonus points: Hit head into corner shelf.

On the flip side? A nice deep color for the summer, and I'll never have to worry about stains or wrinkles! I have also scrubbed every inch of my body top to bottom three times with super strength soap. My skin is smoother than a baby's well...

However, it is still tacky.

Maybe I need a second coat? LOL

I had three construction guys and my Aunt go, "Damn, I wish I had the camera out!" I assume it was a spectacular shower of sludge. I had my eyes closed. I'm not stupid.

I was tired of looking at an ugly plastic bin on my kitchen counter holding all my pills, and got inspired by all those fake antique drug/poison jars on Etsy, so… behold, my “new” apothecary jars!

The jars themselves are actually quite old and did originally come from a pharmacy in my hometown. (I bought them secondhand as part of a lot of old pharmacy supplies, which also included unused labels and pill boxes that had the name and address of the pharmacy on them -hence how I know.)

They were in abysmal state, so I don’t feel like I ruined antique pieces or anything.

Anyway, my counter is now more Aesthetic(TM), I’m calling that a success!

Thinking about this post again and laughing at the idea of them doing this in front of Bruce, like... he does not know how to process it and terrifies him!

It falls to the other Gen Zs to explain, but Steph and Duke refuse to and Cass isn't on the internet enough to know anything except "they aren't being serious."

Damian tells him not to worry about Drake and Todd's "cringe pseudo-beef" and that does not help. Well, it doesn't help Bruce. Dick needed the laugh!

My ideal Tim and Jason dynamic is basically:

Tim: Kill yourself

Jason: Kill me yourself, bootlicker

When DIY Fixes Go Wrong: A Middle-Aged Man's Saga

Ever stared at a broken faucet like you’re about to enter the UFC ring? 😂 This one’s for all the middle-aged men out there who swear they can fix anything (spoiler: you probably can’t, but we love you for trying). Trust me, it’s relatable. 👷‍♂️

Ah, the age-old dilemma of the middle-aged man: They see something broken, their pride kicks in, and they tell you and themselves, “I can fix this.” Maybe it’s the leaky faucet, the janky lawnmower, or that ancient TV remote he refuses to let go of because it’s “still got some life left in it.” Sound familiar? Well, buckle up, because we’re diving into the hilarious reality of the DIY fix-it guy,…

Onto the next mini-project, and this time I'm prepping for Halloween! I've always wanted to learn how to make wigs, and since it's a skill I'll probably need in the future, well. No better time to start learning than now! I've successfully crimped this wig without starting any fires, so enjoy watching me figure this out while I get ready to start recording my next big project!

Adventures in Babysitting...Oops, I Mean Parenting

Welcome back to another episode of “The Unfiltered Chronicles,” where life with my boyfriend’s 6-year-old daughter is like walking through a minefield of innocence mixed with a complete lack of filters. Strap in, folks, because this ride gets bumpy. So, picture this: It’s girls’ craft day, and we’re all gathered around the table making bracelets. I’m feeling creative, so I whip up one that says,…

I'm on the verge of quitting everything. I've been crying all day. I'm tired of putting up a candid face when social media is scr*wing over trans creators or only showing my art to anti-trans suicide-baiters. Even though this has been my most productive year ever, in terms of online content, I get comments practically every day about how rarely people get to see my posts in their feed.

Since last winter's natural disaster, we haven't been able to afford groceries. We haven't had hot water since March. I've been late on student loans and car payments for months. Orders are late and I feel like I'm failing everyone.

On top of that, I'm still regularizing my situation in this country, and in that context, I just received a letter telling me that as a self-employed artist, I'm obligated to put a monthly $700 in a private retirement fund (and pay the 21 months backlog since I officially started paying taxes here). The only other options are to quit art or go back to Canada.

I've talked in the past few months about the necessity for the survival of this project to double the amount of subscribers on patreon. Each time, social media killed the reach of these posts. I'm not expecting this one to do better. However, it has never been more urgent. There needs to be about 200 new subs or I might be forced to shut it all down. I'm really scared and I wish this wasn't the only way.

You got some choices, although they are being updated more or less regularly - keeping Assigned Male Comics free and easily available on social media remains my priority : Assigned Male Comics patreon A Frog in the Bog (foraging and DIY) patreon Pastel Sexy Times (nsfw) patreon Candycore Comics patreon

I'm sure you all got so much on your plate, and you could do without the series of woes that have afflicted our family this year. Thank you for reading through this and for your constant support, even if it's just through leaving comments - it does help. It's my privilege to create these comics, and I hope to do it as long as you will allow me.
