Commissions for an Emotional Support Dog

I have struggled with anxiety for most of my life, however I only realized it about three years ago. A year and a half ago, I was officially diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder. I also have been experiencing episodes of depression. My therapist at one point in time recommended that I get an emotional support dog to aide in coping with my disability. Due to my dad's allergy, the dog needs to be hypoallergenic, and it turns out that poodles make really good ESAs. I’ve also found that Bichon Frises, while needing a lot of grooming, seem to have a lot of the traits that I’d like in an ESA. I looked into it, and it turned out that both of these dogs are pretty expensive, especially considering how. Now that I have a job, I am ready to start saving towards one. I am still in Highschool, so it will take me a long time before I have enough money to get either a poodle or Bichon Frise. Because of this, I've decided to open commissions in order to help me reach my goal a little quicker. Even if you can't afford to get one or don't want one, I'd appreciate if you spread this around so that as many people as possible see it. 

All art will be sketched in pencil, with anything else done in Firealpaca. 

Can do:  Humans Humanoids Anthro Feral Robots Ghosts Monsters Aliens Canon characters Fan characters Original characters Gajinka or humanized versions Gore 

Won't do: Pairings** Sexual content Moles, makeup, jewelry* Hate art aimed towards any person or group Demons** Swearing Drug content Homestuck** Realism Inflation, vore, or anything along those lines 

*If your character has these, it doesn't mean I won't draw them period. I simply will not include that aspect of their design. This is because of some personal reasons, sorry! 

**Due to personal reasons 

Pencil Sketch

Lineart

Flat Color

Shading

-Bust-  (A character's head and shoulders) Pencil Sketch - $1 Lineart - $2 Flat color - $5 Shaded - $7 

-Halfbody-  (A character as seen from the waist up)  Pencil Sketch - $2  Lineart - $3  Flat Color - $7  Shaded - $10 

-Fullbody- (A character from head to toe) Pencil Sketch - $5 Lineart - $7 Flat Color - $12 Shaded - $15

-Portrait-  (Two or more characters in a scene)  Pencil Sketch - $10  Lineart - $14  Flat Color - $18  Shaded - $20  Every Extra Character - $5-$10 depending on commission type 

-Backgrounds- Single color, gradient, two to three color pattern - Free! Simple scene - $2 (Included with a portrait) Complex scene - $5 (+$3 with a portrait) 

-Other Add Ons- White outline - Free! Background silhouette - Free! Text - Free! Simple Texturing - $1 (Included with a portrait) Detailed texturing - $5 

I am also willing to draw for comics, games, and books, and do concept art! 

-Important things to note- •Part of the money must be paid up front before I will begin drawing your picture, and the rest after the final product is finished. Once full payment is received, you will be able to see your picture. This is so that I can't be cheated out of my time. •I reserve the right to refuse or refund any commission with or without reason. •Once the commission is completed you will be able to use it for whatever you like, but please do NOT repost it to your own account or claim that the art is yours! It hurts me as an artist because it takes away potential viewers. •How long it takes for me to finish the art mainly depends on the complexity of the art piece, my workload between school and my job, and my mental health status. Nagging me to finish will most likely make it harder for me to complete the commission. That being said, I will work as hard and as fast as possible to finish it and get it to you. •You can order as many commissions as you like at a time, but they will need to be paid for and delivered as a group. The more commissions in a group, the longer you will have to wait to receive them. •Other than for concept art, I cannot work from a written description of your character or of a color. I also cannot work from a photograph or a realistic 3D model. I will need a reference that is a 2D picture with easy access to the necessary colors if the commission will be colored. If possible, a separate color palette will be greatly appreciated! •Every dollar paid for commissions will go towards the dog. Once I have the dog I'll use any extra money I earn to pay for its living expenses such as food and vet visits. 

Commissions will likely remain open until I'm able to afford the dog. Shoot me a message if you're interested, and we can discuss the details! Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a lovely day!

Kevin Gallagher

Kevin is an American artist who's family is originally from Norway whom is now living and working in Berlin. I absolutely loved this lecture. it was so interesting the way Kevin talks about his practice and his love of materials. His work seem to be centred around his nationality, his families origin and his own bodies functions, in particular his digestion and the foods linked to where he lived. Kevin explained that digestive problem is something he has always struggled with, which I can believe coming from America and the way food is produced and preserved is even less regulated than British produce.

Kevin has worked with some really unconventional substances like gelatine, which he placed in cylinders with dyed in layers creating these cylindrical posable sculptures. The sculptures themselves have wire running through the middle, which both acts like an armiture and strengthens the structure but allows for manual manipulation for positioning. He then placed the sculptures in the installation space. I felt he used the space well, displaying the sculptures in varying positions giving the sculptures a familiar and figurative appearance. They also have a child like innocents about them due their bight colourful layers and resemblance to sweets. As a viewer I would definitely be drawn to wanting to touch the sculptures. I can imagine their texture to be quite malluable. 

Kevin also mentions that he was apparent highly criticised for his inability to create ‘professional’ looking sculptures with certain skill and techniques, but he felt this sculptures had an innocent DIY element to them which added to the work so he decided to embrace their crudeness. Also maybe these days that idea of art and artist needing to be skilful is now out dated order to be viable art? The sculptures also had socks attached, which gave them a sexual appearance like disembodied orifices or glory holes, as Kevin called them. 

This made me think about how we embrace imperfections as artist. The wabi sabi aspects of each individuals work makes them unique to that person. A mistake in any works created that can not entirely be replicated even when the artist try’s, it’s like unique finger print or a momentary slip of a paint brush, unique and beautiful in its inperfection. 

Kevin seems to be drawn to using every day and found objects, which I felt gave me the impression that he has a concern not just with his own body, but also with waste and the immanent climate crisis. One of the questions I asked Kevin in the Q&A was this approach of using up all the material for his carrot installation work space, not only to gave his work a sense of absence and activity, but also allowed him to justify his over accumulation of materials, especially in a world increasingly concerned with the reduction of waste. Kevin seemed to agreed that this could also be a reason as to why he was drawn to creating this work or at least something he could think about.

This use of waste material also applied to his use of left over flowers from the markets. Initially the idea came to Kevin due to his pollen allergies, which I thought was quite intriguing to intentionally work with something that gave him so much discomfort. Kevin explained that the flowers were representative of Norways abundance of left over in flower markets that were often given to passers by to avoid waste. I think this is a lovely idea. You often see this happening in movies. I always think this is such a romantic way to dispose of unsold flowers, giving a stranger a free gift of natural beauty. Flowers are just like artworks it seem pointless to grow and then pick them especially if no one is going to enjoy them. They are picked to be shared and enjoyed.

He mounted the flowers and added extra pigment onto a shopping cart and used a fan to blow the pigment onto the canvas that was placed on the wall in front, which in turn created an inverted galaxy effect or a negative painting. In a way I though it was like creating an anti matter art work, almost felt like you would expect to see a room full a dramatic paintings in an adjoining room.

Kevin also used carrots in his installations. The carrot is a national vegetable of significance in Norway. He explained that sadly the carrot is purposely manipulated and grown to be the perfectly shape and it’s distinct shade of orange. This is something that sadly happened in all mass produced mono farming in the world. Which is so sad to think that in a world were there is so much starvation exist that this sickening practice is still happening. So much perfectly nutritious produce is throw away just because of how it looks to the consumer. A consumer that has only been taught this expectation or preference through years of mass manipulation of product. This is something that desperately need to change.

To Kevin he also sees the carrots as figurative forms. I though this could also be seen as a hint about the way we treat people in western society and in the world as a whole. Our constant obsession with looks, and manipulation of nature, a drive to remove individualism, the capitalist drive to create superiority through the manipulation of nature into something more sellable for profit, creating something unrealistic and uniformed, something that lacks diversity and taste a practice driven by pure greed and control. Instead of allowing something much more beautiful and easily digestible to grow, something better for out planet allowed to grow freely from the earth, we as humans always have this need to interfere with things that need no input.

Kevin also seems drawn to preserving things, like the carrots preserved in their life system stacked in their plastic containers, which Kevin sees as model apartment blocks. In later work he then replaced the real carrots’ with clay models. Kevin said this was also for practicality and ease, but maybe also it could be seen as a strive to create something more lasting. I loved how he used corn and created sculpture too, which then transformed in stages from corn to pure pigment, all mounted on steel parallel tracks, that to me resembled train tracks almost suggestive of transportation maybe hinting at the movement of farmed products around the world. 

Kevin Also started a cafe/gallery space in Berlin called the Kantena, which Ive started following online. It become a really important space for artists in the Berlin art scene. The contents that Iv seen look really interesting I look forward to seeing what shows they have coming up next and how they will adapt during this time. 

Kevins work has made me think about using materials again. It something I have been considering again. I feel that seen as I'm currently unable to use large spaces and projectors. So concentrating on what I can do from home in these uncertain times could take my work in an unusual direction that I may not of otherwise explored had this pandemic never happened. I know that I will continue to make installation art works using video, photography and light refection, I certainly have plans and ideas to, but I would also like to start looking into creating sculptures again to see where that takes me within my practice.

If that is the situation, establishing a half day supply of food can be really just actually a fantastic place to get started. In the event that you previously possess 1 month of emergency rations set by, another step could be establishing a six month or two a year emergency food apparel. The main issue is to begin out somewhere, and also build up your supplies and soon you've constructed the ideal emergency food apparel you're able.

That Are You Feeding?

Do you've got kids at your home? Teens? Elderly or older adults? Babies will call for exclusive feeding accommodations such as formula or milk, whilst the older could possibly have some distinctive nutrient needs, too. Learn on newspaper that you are building a food source to and some unique things you want to get ready for these, or to your self. Then consider what it requires to nourish that person to get one moment.

Just how Many?

When you have written down exactly what is necessary to feed 1 man for a single day, you are going to want to multiply by the range of men and women, and also the range of days for that you are preparing.

What Do They Like To Eat?

There is absolutely no requirement to endure for a month on nothing but rice and legumes. That you never wish to stock upon three weeks worth of food your family will not touch base with a six-foot rod, simply as it was economical. It could keep you living in a pinch, however you desire to love it, even if at all possible. Thus spend the likes and think about as you intend. Do not neglect to consider food allergies, too. In a crisis situation, you'd not want to manage an allergic attack in cross contamination, thus far superior to prevent trouble foods altogether, whenever at all possible.

Types Of Emergency Rations

There are scores of methods to develop a fantastic emergency food apparel. Easy and simple, though undoubtedly not the cheapest, will be to spend money on commercially-prepared crisis rations, made available from various businesses. These kits include as individual portions, or perhaps even a month's worth of food for one individual. There are scores of alternatives to select from.

Yet another procedure, requiring just a small preparation and direction, will be to take that which you buy and use a weekly basis, and begin building a distribution that may endure. In the event that you generally utilize three cans of beans and 2 boxes of mac refrigerated cheese along with a jar of peanut butter per week, then start buying twin which, and place the excess aside for the emergency food apparel. Subsequently manage your own stock by rotating it to ensure your meal remains as fresh as you possibly can. Freshness are a substantial advantage within an longterm disaster, where you are counting upon your own emergency rations for weeks, or a long time.

When you have accumulated a couple of months supply of food, then arrange your headset and boxes with all an soonest expiration date at front and also the furthest from the trunk. Afterward, whenever you do your own food shopping, then put the fresh items at front and use out of front. This keeps your stock fresh and prepared to make use of if and when the requirement comes up.

Home canning is just another more affordable means to grow your emergency food apparel. Canning is getting to be a lost art, if you aren't knowledgeable about just how exactly to do it, then you are one of many. Canning food in glass jars necessitates just a tiny learning and attempt but can permit one to conserve yummy, homemade food for several ages. Make sure you understand that foods require pressure-cooking versus water-bathing procedures of preservation. Correctly canned goods retain most useful in cool, dark regions between 50 and 70 *F (10 - 2-1 *C) and therefore so are safe to consume years subsequent to canning.

For majority dry goods which are meant for long-term storage, wheat, legumes, rice, sugar and other dry goods might be sealed and kept at five gallon buckets with O2 absorbers to endure for thirty decades and longer. For the prepared minded, a couple pieces of corn and wheat will go a very long way toward serenity of mind.

A vacuum cleaner is a great investment for anyone serious in their emergency rations. Spicy foods in smaller amounts not just keeps them more but lets you use them only just a little at the same time, as opposed to needing to make utilize of a massive container upward fast as soon as you've opened it.

If you should be concerned about the expiry date on storebought baked products, please continue this story at heart. A steam boat called the Bertrand was hoping to hit Montana in 1865 as it sunk to the underside of this Missouri river. 100 decades after, canned goods out of this mess were regained. Back in 1974, 109 years following the collision, the food has been analyzed by chemists and found safe to consume. You ought to use decent sense when eating salty foods which have passed their expiry dates. If it appears strange, smells tastes or bad awful, do not eat it!

Signs That The Food In Your Emergency Food Kit Has Gone Bad

Evidence canned goods have become awful: the is bulging, and also so the lid has arrived unsealed. Assess for lubricant or mold bubbles from the liquid. In the event the foodstuff stands out from the jar or can whenever you start it, then there's pressure on the contents which was not there once the jar or can has been sealed. This really is an excellent sign of bacterial activity resulting in a chemical reaction. Click here Daniel Zetterholm

Comfort Foods

When you have created a fantastic base for emergency rations, then you may like to get started considering adding some relaxation foods into your store. In trying conditions, most of us turn into food to comfort, and tasty food may not be simple to find in case of a tragedy. A few matters to shop comprise:

Chocolate - roasted cocoa retains the very best, however chocolate bars more than 70 percent cocoa could keep for many months, and more if frozen. Sexy chocolate mixture includes a shelf life of several decades, and may readily be added into the turning of one's emergency food apparel. Macn' cheese - Best maintained dried by dividing the noodles and pasta, and vacuum sealing them together with O2 absorbers. If you should be focused on having the ability to cook macaroni and cheese, then it could be canned, however it's not going to have the exact identical feel as lately made. Under cooking the noodles before canning may make it be mushy. Honey - made out of natural compounds, honey could keep forever, provided that water gets close it. Store in very tidy, very dry glass jars. If it crystallizes, then you are able to return it into a liquid condition with just a tiny heat. Freeze dried fruit or dried fresh fruit may be terrific energy booster and also could keep well when kept correctly. Hard candies - store with desiccants and vacuum-sealing to supply a necessary pick up me under trying conditions. Coconut oil, notably virgin coconut oil can save for quite a long period and supply added fat for soothing recipes if butter isn't offered. Spices - should you can a location where you are needing to produce most your meal from everything you need readily available, you're going to be very thankful for several additional spices to... well... spice up things. Alcohol - Obviouslya reassuring thing, however, it also serves many purposes at a crisis scenario also it works nicely. Large alcohol content (more than 20 percent ) could continue to keep the maximum and more than 40 percent can function as a disinfectant if necessary. Tea - works nicely without lodging. To maintain it the most lightest, shop in tiny amounts by having an O2 absorber. Coffee - For people that need their cuppa to maintain up their chin, java will probably soon be an significant part the absolute most effective emergency food apparel. Roasted coffee keeps, vacuum-sealed in Mylar bags, for as many as two decades. In the event that you rotate it on your own emergency rations, then you'll have good java for a while. For prep beyond this, you could save green coffees in Mylar bags using O2 absorbersthen shake and grind them as needed. What To Choose? The way to choose what adopts the most ideal emergency food apparel? A fantastic guideline is just six weeks to a couple of food that you'll eat daily. That is readily handled through good buying and spinning. For prep beyond that time period, vacuum-sealed Mylar bags could maintain dry-goods for a long time. Many businesses and perhaps even faith-based family prep programs provide you dry-goods preserved in 10 cans which may maintain to 30 decades. Assembling an emergency food kit which may last a long period at a pinch is potential, together with preparation and forethought.

Water will likely be vital to surviving specific sorts of crisis scenarios. When planning emergency situations, 1 liter of water per man each evening is actually really just a good startingpoint. You are going to want a little extra for cooking and sanitation, too. Make certain that you have loads of water readily available, or an easy method to attain water and then sanitize it. Sanitation filtration and tablets would have been a significant component of this very ideal emergency food apparel.

Looking Ahead

For total planning, it is vital to think about of food prep throughout an urgent situation. In case the power was out for just three weeks, then how do you cook this mac'n' cheese that you took such services to put away? Even for those who own an electrical generator for crises, stoves and microwaves pull an excessive amount of power to utilize the generator for the cooking. A propane or butane camp stove with lots of fuel cells, or even perhaps a charcoal or propane grill are all fantastic alternatives to have onhand. And do not neglect to add a manual can opener on your emergency food apparel.

Where To Keep It?

Storage space might be hard, based upon your home situation. Preferably, you're going to want to set up a neatly organized chamber that is designed for storage. You'll tag your shelves, and then maintain matters well stocked and rotated. Unless you reside within this type of story book situation, you might need to find slightly bit more creative about the way you save your emergency food apparel. A whole good deal of food might also be stored, in cardboard boxes, under beds, and at the bottoms or tops of cabinets, and below the staircase. You might have to cut back unnecessary mess, to create room for unexpected emergency rations. The benefit will be well worth your time and time and effort.

Be Prepared, Not Scared

Accepting the actions required to generate the ideal emergency food apparel you can will cover off in reassurance. To be aware you have the capacity to take care for people who like, and also to be in a position to get in touch with people around you at the own time of need, will set you in a category reserved for merely a couple of. You'll sleep easy at night, knowing whatever else stays, your family is provided for.

Attack of the Giant Green Nazi Mutant Gorillas! (Amazing-Man Comics 22, May 1941)

One consistent theme of the entries in this series is caveat emptor, or "[cover, poster, ad] may not reflect the contents of [comic book, film, magazine, book, merchandise, etc.]." Not to say that deliberate deception is always practiced, but an exciting piece of artwork and/or thrilling ad copy goes a long way towards convincing a consumer to part with his/her money, and the number of times where the actual product exceeds the promise of the selling point is probably rather small (there may have been great novels published with terrible cover art, for instance, but there are exceptions to every generalisation).

Paul Gustavson's jaw-dropping cover for Amazing-Man Comics 22 doesn't depict a scene which appears in the comic itself, but (a) it's a great piece of work on its own, and (b) it does reflect, at least obliquely, the general tenor of the issue: anti-Nazi sentiments and wacky superhero antics.  No giant green Nazi mutant gorillas inside, though.

Amazing-Man Comics (for some reason, the hero's name was hyphenated on the cover--until the very last issue--but inside he was often billed as "Aman the Amazing Man" without the punctuation) was published by Comic Corporation of America, a sister/successor company to Centaur Comics (which began issuing comics in March 1938 and went out of business in 1940).  This title began with issue #5 (September 1939) and concluded with #26 (January 1942).

Although none of the comic’s supporting features are mentioned on #22's cover, some previous issues--while the cover artwork still focused on titular hero Amazing Man--did credit other characters appearing in the comic. Centaur and Comics Corporation of America are well-known for their eccentric "superheroes," including Speed Centaur (an actual centaur who solves crimes in contemporary America!) and the mystical Eye (a giant disembodied eye that punishes evil-doers). Amazing-Man #22 contains stories starring the Iron Skull (a humanoid robot), Mighty Man ("He can grow--He can shrink--He can change his features"), The Voice (whose superpower is raising or lowering his voice), and Minimidget (a 6-inch-tall superhero with his similarly diminutive girlfriend named Ritty).

These outré characters are all rather more distinctive than Amazing Man himself, a much more conventional superhero.  John Aman (which syncs up with his superhero name--if his name had been John Beman, he'd probably have been called Bemusing Man) received his powers--super-strength, flight, "many mystic powers," and the ability to turn into a "green mist"--from monks in Tibet, and battles evil, especially his nemesis The Great Question.  Created by Bill "Sub-Mariner" Everett, Amazing Man wears boots, briefs, and suspenders (well, straps that criss-cross over his chest) with an "A" amulet in the center, but (like the Sub-Mariner and a few other Golden Age superheroes) is bare-chested.  Like Superman, Amazing Man has a girlfriend (Zona) who's a crime reporter (sometimes referred to as an "ace girl crime investigator," and later Aman's "assistant," wink wink--she "thinks three times faster than most people!!"), and like Batman he eventually picks up a juvenile sidekick (Tommy, the Amazing Boy).

As noted above, the cover of Amazing-Man Comics #22 was drawn by Paul Gustavson [sometimes spelled Gustafson], a Finnish immigrant who worked for a number of comic book publishers from the late 1930s through the 1950s, Bill Everett having moved on to bigger and better things after guiding his creation through the comic's first 7 issues. The interior Amazing Man story in this issue was drawn by "Sam Decker," aka Sam Glanzman, whose work is competent but much less polished than Gustavson's cover art. [Curiously, several years later Glanzman would occasionally work on the “Human Meteor” feature for Harvey: this was another shirtless superhero who got his powers from monks in Tibet.  Glanzman's younger brother Louis was also a comic book artist in this era.] The story inside issue 22 pits Amazing Man against The Great Question, who's helping Adolf Hitler freeze the English Channel so Nazi troops can more easily invade England.

The cover scene is not substantively related to the interior story, but the two works do share three elements: Amazing Man, Nazis, and super-science.

The cover date of this issue was May 1941, which means it was probably on sale in March 1941, and was thus most likely written, drawn, and edited at least several months earlier.  But wait, you might say, the United States did not declare war on the Axis powers until after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941!  Why does this cover (and, as it develops, 4 of the 8 interior stories in this issue) have Nazi (or at least foreign, fascist) villains?

Well, even though the USA was not at war with Nazi Germany at the time Amazing Man Comics 22 was published, this doesn't mean the majority of the American people had a positive (or even a neutral) impression of the Hitlerian regime.  The Neutrality Acts affected governmental and business relations, but not popular attitudes.  Even some of the America Firsters (isolationists who wanted the USA to stay out of foreign wars) disapproved of Germany's warlike actions and internal policies, but weren't willing to go to war to stop them.

Popular culture in the USA, never especially favourable towards the Nazis, turned even more anti-fascist after World War Two broke out in 1939.  Unlike Hollywood cinema, whose anti-Nazi "propaganda" was the subject of a Senate investigation in 1941, the comic book industry did not attract undue attention despite an even greater bias in the pre-Pearl Harbor period.  One imagines that comic books were not considered influential enough to worry about. However, at least 200 comic book covers (and undoubtedly as many or more interior stories) in the 1939-1941 period can be classified as anti-fascist, with particular emphasis on anti-Nazi imagery and themes.

[If you're interested in more information about the American comic book industry's "premature fascism," I might modestly recommend this episode of my "Deconstructing Propaganda" series on YouTube.]

Amazing-Man Comics 22 has one such cover.  A few strokes of an eraser could easily have removed the swastikas from the monsters' head-bands and the Nazi officer in the lower left-hand corner could've been converted into a standard mad scientist, thus eliminating any political content and making this a standard "hero fights monsters, saves girl" cover (of which there were scads of examples).  Instead, the Comic Corporation of America decided to make an anti-fascist statement (8 of the 23 Amazing-Man Comics covers were similarly topical, some more overtly than others).  [It's possible that Paul Gustavson was the one who originally decided to make the giant green mutant gorillas into giant green Nazi mutant gorillas, but the editor--as mentioned above--could have asked for revisions to remove this allusion if it wasn't wanted.]

The cover is easily one of the best of the whole Amazing-Man Comics series.  Amazing Man leaps into action against Nazi-cop (well, his uniform is blue) and four, count 'em, 4 giant, green, hairy, fanged-and-clawed Nazi monsters (narrowly missing punching one of them in the groin), who are tearing down the walls of several city buildings. The detail Gustavson lavishes on the monsters is especially nice: these creatures aren't cartoonish or goofy looking, they're fearsome and vicious in appearance, particularly their angry faces.  While I've characterised them above as "giant green Nazi mutant gorillas" for comedic click-bait purposes. they actually don't resemble apes much, but are imaginative and colourful (green skin & fur, yellow teeth, red claws; one also has red eyes, possibly suffering from allergies since his nearest companion has white eyeballs).  The monsters are large but not Godzilla-large, which makes it more plausible that Amazing Man could put up a decent battle against them.

The third element common to both the cover and the interior story is the implied Nazi use of super science for evil purposes (this assumes the Nazis didn't create the giant green mutant gorillas with magic or find them occurring naturally in the wild).  The "Axis super-weapon" motif was repeated on comic book covers and in comic stories many times during World War Two, with the Nazis and the Japanese equally culpable (for some reason, the Italians were rarely credited with the development of such deadly devices). They don't just use regular soldiers, planes, tanks, and bombs, they employ giant aircraft, drones ("robot bombs"), missiles, reducing rays, floating forts, death drills, poison gas, "anti-invasion" tanks, human bombs, giant monsters, midget monsters, vampires, zombies, and so on.

Obviously it is against the rules of civilised warfare (an oxymoron if I ever heard one) to use giant green Nazi mutant gorillas (but not highly advanced tanks, planes or bombs) against your enemies, but that doesn't stop the sinister Axis powers. Only our freedom-loving superheroes like Aman the Amazing Man aka the Green Mist can stand up to such atrocity-level menaces.

It’s interesting that the demonisation of the Nazi enemy was in place before the United States was actively involved in World War II, and before evidence of real-life Nazi atrocities came to light.  For whatever reason, the Nazis were perceived (and thus depicted) as worse than mere war-mongers hungry for lebensraum in Europe: they were conflated with science-fictional menaces who would go to any lengths to satisfy their lust for destruction and world conquest.

The cover of Amazing-Man Comics 22 also has several other strong points. A clever little touch is the blonde damsel-in-distress, whose dress has ridden up just enough to expose part of her slip, but not to the indecent extent that we see her stocking tops. Furthermore, the cover is rather minimalist for the era, since it has no text other than the basic title, issue, date, and price, all located in the self-contained "Amazing-Man Comics" logo across the top of the cover.  Only one of the title’s previous issues (the first, #5) was as restrained, while subsequently only #23 and #24 followed this same "clean" format.  

Omitting any mention of the supporting features and any hyperbole or descriptive text about the exciting nature of the publication was not unprecedented in the comic book Golden Age, but it was relatively rare.  One might even imagine that the editor looked at Paul Gustavson's inspired artwork and said, "We can't spoil this with a text box! This is good enough to be framed! I mean, look at it—giant green mutant Nazi gorillas!!"

What do your Instagram photos say about your mental health?

Our Instagram images may say a whole lot greater about you than what you had for lunch or wherein you’re vacationing this summer season. They can also hold clues approximately whether or not you’re depressed.

New studies indicate that people with records of melancholy percentage more photos, use fewer filters, and submit extra photos that are darker and grayer in color. The findings, published this week in the magazine EPJ Data Science, suggest that Instagram and other social media websites are more tools that may be used to display screen human beings for intellectual ailments.

Previous studies have shown that how you phrase your tweets or your Facebook popularity updates might indicate whether or not or not you’re depressed. Instead of mining social media facts for words, this state-of-the-art observe looked at visual cues. Researchers at Harvard and the University of Vermont looked at greater than 43,000 images from 166 customers, 71 of whom had records of despair.

  The distinct Instagram filters utilized by “wholesome” and “depressed” customers. Chart: EPJ Data Science 2017 paper

They used system mastering to research the pix’ shades, brightness, filters, and whether or not they featured faces. Their findings: depressed users published more photos, and snap shots that tended to be “bluer, darker, and grayer.” They extensively utilized fewer Instagram filters; after they did use a clear out, they tended to choose “Inkwell,” which makes the picture black and white. Healthier customers desired the “Valencia” filter instead, which lightens the tint of pics. Depressed users have been also more likely to put up pictures with faces, however, compared to more healthy customers, the one’s pictures contained fewer faces consistent with a photo. That may be a signal that humans with melancholy “engage in smaller social settings,” the take a look at says.

The outcomes obviously don’t follow to all Instagram customers: the researchers analyzed hundreds of images, but they had been from an specially small variety of human beings. The members additionally had to meet positive standards to be covered inside the take a look at they needed to be lively on Instagram, inclined to share their complete Instagram posting records, in addition to whether they’d received a real analysis of melancholy. Users have been labeled as depressed primarily based on their responses to a fashionable clinical melancholy survey.

But the technique used in this look at “may also serve as a blueprint for powerful mental health screening in a more and more digitalized society,” the examiner concludes.
