Okay that last one was actually a fake proof of life because I had drawn it a while ago, this one is real. Sacred Field proof of life:
It's nice that the newspaper publishes people's dating profile questionnaire answers now. We need to end the loneliness epidemic somehow.
This may sound radical but "games are shit" is actually the median opinion of every Gamer.
Dark Horse Comics’ beloved Senior Editors have insisted on joining our union, DHWU! In response, Dark Horse management has threatened the Senior Editors with a demotion and severe pay cut unless they accept supervisory status and abandon their union eligibility.
imagine if the only way you would have gotten Schulz's Peanuts was if his wife worked in tech. that would've changed the themes & content of the strip for sure.
