Loads of people are making better points about the many problems here, but here's one more, in case no one hit it yet: Babies and toddlers will eventually ignore and tune out devices. If you want them to stay engaged, they need to see a human model engagement for them and with them.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

I know I said I was very relieved not to do any October art challenges (besides 24 hour comic day) but I kind of wish I had enough time for Linktober.

On my commute home, some guy left space for me to change lanes. But then he seemed to have changed his mind because he speed up. Then he kept pace with me, refusing to let me get ahead or behind him and started honking at me as my lane ran out. Now I'm having some kind of war flashback about it.

I'd buy one.

If anyone at Sanrio had any sort of compassion, they would make a spoof of the Lacoste polo with Big Challenges on the side just for me.

Wrong answers only. My bet: thanks for all the fish.

I don't know if it's the politics or the saturation, but I'm sick of stories about wizard societies. Can we go back to where the wizard is one person on a team where everyone has different skills? And your wizard is either really good or really bad at magic? Maybe there's a rival wizard somewhere?

I'm very tired. I don't think I gave myself enough time to recover from 24 Hour Comic Day. Go read my 24 Hour comic and make my struggle worthwhile. www.lepusstudios.com/24-hour-comi...

I'm glad I didn't try to pick up any October art challenges this year. I am still overwhelmed with regular challenges. If you're doing any October art challenges, good luck and bless you.

Videographer at work made a very mild comment that seemed to assume I had zero film experience. It was so small, yet it bothers me so much. I bet he never got to help choose wardrobe for the guy from Hellraiser.

Here it is! My finished piece for #24HourComicDay - A comic adaptation of the classic fairy tale, The Billy Goats Gruff. (disclosure: I did not follow the official event rules, as I had rough character sketches and most or the script ready in advance.) #24HourComicDay2026

Over the weekend, I pulled off another 24 hour comic for 24 Hour Comic Day. This is my fourth fairy tale adaptation.

Gonna post my 24 hour comic here shortly after noon today. Stay tuned!

Finished my 24 hour comic. I'll post it tomorrow, after I sleep a little.

It's 24 Hour Comic Day and I just made all my panel templates. Let's do this.

We used to have a special cable for connecting to cameras that was called a "firewire." What a waste to use a name that good on tech that became obsolete. We should have saved that name for USB cables or something.

Thinking about Saturday. 24 hour comic day. Shall I draw another fairy tale?

No. If that was too brief, please allow me elaborate: No. No, no, no. No. No. None. Not at all. Absolutely never.

Microsoft has filed a patent for ads that could interrupt games after boss fights, cutscenes, quests and multiplayer rounds Players would receive credits granting temporary game access, while watching an ad would award another credit to let them resume

I'm not on Tapas, but everyone who's on there should read this. I use the Toocheke theme on my comic site and I will recommend it to everyone.

Dang, now I kind of want a massive green orb. The pope is going to make massive green orbs become too popular.

If your reaction to this post is, "Wait, there are actually explanations for all these things and they're pretty well known. Back in the early 1980's..." then you might fit in well with me and my friends. Bonus points if your explanation also references the Universal Studios lawsuit or Popeye.

I’ve been hungry in the mornings, so I decided to take a pack of “Captain’s Wafers” crackers to work. Except I should be watching my carbs, so I plan to only eat a few. Minutes later, I’m holding an empty wrapper and wondering, “Is this the true curse of the ancient mariner?”
