The Enunciation.

JOKE-OGRAPHY: In this story, Jesus mentions to His followers that He's troubled by the fate He's about to endure, but instead of praying to be spared from that fate, He prays only that His Father uses it to glorify Himself.  Jesus is setting an example of ultimate humility and deference to God's plan.  God replies to Jesus, but His voice catches the crowd off-guard.  Was that really a voice in the clouds, or just thunder?  An angel, or a storm?  In this cartoon, one astute crowd-dweller asks whether they should be more afraid of a storm which threatens "elocution" (clear speech, like from an angel), or a storm which threatens "electrocution" (dangerous injury by electric shock, like from a lightning bolt).  Another even astuter crowd-dweller answers him quickly, saying that being murdered by nature's taser is way worse than well-enunciated words.

Alternatively, people who are having a good old reading sesh and don't care what pernickety authors think of them. A particular shout-out to Number 7, because she's definitely living her best life.

FATHER FLYNN MEMORIAL AT PASSAGE WEST IN CORK

Such was his reputation for curing speech impediments that the BBC producer Hywel Davis made a half-hour documentary based on his life

HE HAD A REPUTATION FOR CURING SPEECH IMPEDIMENTS It has taken me many years to establish the story behind this memorial which has 1881-1961 on the base instead of 1881-1962. Such was his reputation for curing speech impediments that the BBC producer Hywel Davis made a half-hour documentary based on his life entitled ‘It happened to me’, broadcast in June 1961. As a result, O’Flynn received…

What is the reasoned being?

I need to get all the Farryn content out of my system before college fucks me over, so here are some doodles of her (featuring my takes on Gwenna, Gorthos, and Ceithlenn of the Crooked Teeth.)

My gay tinted lenses were on the entire time I drew these, Farryn's just real pretty okay 💕 (EOM also is just an excuse to practice gore drawings) Also love that her state of being is just weird lust and feelings of doom, that, and she has a possessive streak to her. She really said that Gwenna belongs to her and not the earth, and she's so real for that

Gorthos (and Farryn to an extent) gives me Nowhere King vibes, and that influenced my take on him :p

I miss her, chat 🙏 I can't believe she got caught up in a custody war between Gorthos and Ceithlenn 😔

I found a little gem of a video on dailymotion. "Equidia chez Charlie Watts des Rolling Stones"

I think its the first time I've seen anything where Charlie and Shirley are talking to one another, at least audibly. It is wonderfully cute.

This is so lovely! I saw a version of it years ago, but it was much shorter and the quality was so poor that I never bothered to post or gif it. It’s a shame we don’t have more footage of them interacting because they’re exactly as funny and cute as one would expect. (Also, sorry about how the thumbnail looks. If you click on the video to play that header and the control buttons will disappear after a few seconds, there was just no way for me to screen capture the first bit of the video without them).

Also, I’m not a dog person, but I love the Wattses rescue dogs. Especially this girl who is so emo about her mum and dad not paying 100% attention to her.
