Know it’s very unoriginal to say or do but I’ve been looking at Bill Watterson’s original art and the linework is pretty damn tasty. There is both a precision and unprecious way the strokes are done.

Silo, I love you, but if you draw out this dumb amnesia plotline for the whole season, I'm going to be so mad.
OK I'm three whiskeys and four episodes into the last season of The Bear and if they don't turn it around I might just lose it.

Gary Larson cartoon incident
_____________
In 1987 Gary Larson published a Far Side cartoon of two chimpanzees grooming, in which one discovers a blonde hair and says, "Conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?"[127] The Jane Goodall Institute called the cartoon an "atrocity" in a letter drafted by its lawyers to Larson and his syndicate. Goodall, who was in Africa at the time, later found the cartoon amusing.[128]
She went on to name it her favourite depiction of herself in pop culture.[129] Larson offered profits from sales of a shirt featuring the cartoon to the Jane Goodall Institute.[130]
Goodall wrote the preface to The Far Side Gallery 5, detailing her version of the controversy.[131] She praised Larson's creative ideas, which often compare and contrast the behaviour of humans and animals.
In 1988 Larson visited Goodall's research facility in Tanzania.[128] While there, he was attacked by a chimpanzee named Frodo.[127][132]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qdtwslusias4dnfmqydvudsq/bafkreiab4xelozcgki2mm2n3wwq5vdhbvve7v76enl6wbonavz6gjc2p7u)

‘The Good Advice Cupcake’ creator Loryn Brantz says she is “horrified and disgusted” after BuzzFeed allegedly gave her character to an AI platform without her involvement. She also called for a boycott of BuzzFeed and AI-produced animation.
"I’m sorry, Alanna. I drew one of your eyes too big and your chin too short. So this isn’t much of a caricature. More like a weird drawing of someone who vaguely looks like you. My apologies. No refunds." --- badcaricatures.com
Fellow creators: we're interviewing Jack Conte from Patreon at my work this Friday. What should we ask him?
