TOYS!

the kiddos <3

pretty sure i did well making them LOOK like kids! in not great at portraying AGE in character, i think, but i think they look small so, we're good!

"look zyg if I wanted to kill you I'd have done it already can you please just trust me already we just want to be friends"

[ID: A detailed, black and white ink drawing of a scene from the short story Cry from a Far Planet, by Tom Godwin, showing a large, cat-like alien with black fur and lighter markings rearing up on their hind legs, using one paw to brush the face of a human man, who tries to move away from it, holding a scifi gun in one hand, his other arm raised to protect himself. The two are standing inside a darkened spaceship, with knobs and dials around them. End ID.]

Cry from a Far Planet, by Tom Godwin, from Amazing Science Fiction Stories September 1958.

Also available as an audiobook on Librivox's youtube channel in this collection video

The beef between me and my ultra-religious coworker is so silly to me because once again, she finds ways to throw religion into everything and again I’m being victimized by my workplace’s Question of the Day.

Today’s question: “what book do you recommend”

My answer: “The Humans by Matt Haig” (this book follows an alien as he learns about humans and what makes humanity so complex and yet beautiful. It involves a lot of math and scientific concepts while still remaining science fiction)

My coworker’s answer: “The Bible by God”

"Maybe loving someone long term is more about deciding whether to go through life unhappy alone or unhappy with someone else?"

maybe the theme of the humans is uhh. sometimes your family is the problem and the solution.

...humans are still at the point in their development where they see a strong difference between the mental and the physical within the same body. They have mental hospitals and body hospitals, as if one doesn't directly affect the other.

The Humans, by Matt Haig

I am so unbelievably fascinated by the biology of your bird monster people, I bought the story

Because it's a fascinating exploration of a fantasy culture

2. Because it explores themes of human (and inhuman) nature and desire and how finding community or partnership can be so comforting

3. I WANT TO PUT THE BIRDS UNDER A MICROSCOPE. I WANT TO STUDY THEM I STRAIGHT UP STARTED DRAWING MUSCLE DIAGRAMS FOR THEM. I WANT TO KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THEM ITS INSANE. FASCINATING CREATURES.

IN FACT I WANT TO STUDY THIS WHOLE WORLD, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT OTHER CREATURES EXIST IN IT, HOW ECOSYSTEMS FUNCTION, WHAT EVOLUTION FOR VARIOUS ANIMALS LOOKS LIKE. LIKE - THE BA'IT ARE QUADRUPEDAL AVIANS(?), ARE THERE OTHER SPECIES OF QUADRUPEDAL BIRDS?

I want to be a biologist for fantastical worlds, is it noticeable? Creatures are just so fantastic, man.

less than a week till SBCF'24, where I will be debuting a new comic!

SACRED BODIES is a story about what different people/s see as taboo, and the socio-cultural lines that delineate propriety and deviancy.

It's a 15+ rating on visuals and covers topics of intimacy, natural urges, shame and how we relate to these things and to each other. Also there's bird monster people, wow.
