This headline is very bad for my compulsive book-buying and hoarding habits. Also for: The World.

first rule of the thrift/op shop is you can't go in with a plan. you have to let the universe move through you. and then, if you're lucky, you could meet the blowjob brothers

Blemmy pt 1

A four panel comic titled Blemmy: panel 1, a headless man with a face on his torso sits on a rock and says “Well, this is embarrassing.”; panel two, he puts his face in his hands and says, “I can’t find my house.”; panel three, the man is surprised to see a snail with the head of a man appear. The first says, “Snail man!”, and the snail man says, “Blemmy, when one goes on a journey, one’s home is oft behind oneself.”; the fourth panel, the man stands up and dramatically points behind himself and says, “You’re saying my house has been following me this whole time?!”

I have brought the Beach Wizard to life for #makeaterriblecomicday2026 #makeaterriblecomicday #wizard #comic #artsky

A comic page titled “Beach Wizard.” Panel 1: a child is lifting a toy mold off of his sandcastle at the beach. Panel 2: a dress shoe comes in out of frame to kick the castle, the child now looks upset. 3: a sweaty, mustachioed businessman flanked by construction workers says “Scram, kids!” 4: an army of construction workers with a wrecking ball, businessman continues “we’re demolishing this beach to build A.I. datacenters” 5: three children yell “HELP US BEACH WIZARD!” 6: the wizard is lounging on a beach chair wearing swim trunks, an open button up shirt and a crooked pointy hat decorated with moons and stars, holding a margarita in one hand and snapping the fingers of his other says “thunderspell” 7: a violent lightning bolt reduces the businessman to a charred skeleton.

#terriblecomicday

a guy in a big wizard hat to a fluffy guy with big eyes and no hat
"what do you think of my new hat?"
the fluffy guy looks over, "hm" then looks up, "hmmmm"
hat guy: "this one's bigger than the last one"
fluffy guy: "i can see that"
widescreen zoom in of fluffy guy squinting, hand over eyes to see better, "Wait... what's that way up there..."
cropped and stretched image of the hat guy from the first panel with a red circle around the point of the hat
zoomed in panel of the tip of the hat with a much smaller hat sitting on top of it
same first panel of the hat guy, but with the text from before overwritten by the fluffy guy, peering up with a pair of binoculars, "Shut up I'm trying to see something"

I hope you're all having a fine #makeaterriblecomicday

A crudely drawn comic.

Panel 1. A frog and a duck are eating burgers at a table. The frog gets up: "I'll go to the bathroom real quick." Duck: "Good luck!!"

Panel 2. The frog starts sweating. "Thank you. I'll need it."

Panel 3. The frog, with a knight helmet on, holding a sword, hesitantly enters a hallway with deadly medieval traps and a sign captioned "Toilet Dungeon".

Happy #makeaterriblecomicday! I really wanna talk about this book, OK.

Panel 1 - Frog Wizard and Gumdrop Wizard are at the bar. Frog wizard - "What you been reading lately, Gumdrop Wizard?" Gumdrop Wizard - "Well lately it's been Trollope's Barchester Towers"
Panel 2 - GW - "Mr. Slope Just pissed off all the old priests with his sermon." FW - "Damn!"
Panel 3 - GW- "And now they all wanna ban him from the pulpit!" FW - "Oh Shit!"
Panel 4 - GW - "So Slope is going around to their wies to get them on his side." FW - "Woah. Things're heating up, huh." GW - "You bet your ass."

Update: I've watched this again, it still delights me

Makks Cryski@maxtothek.bsky.social · 2mo ago

youtu.be/G02z-aw_PSM We worked with a local animator to bring this sketch about three friends suffering under terrible curses to life, and I couldn't be more pleased with it. If you like it, there's more sketches that are just as funny and weird over on Field Trip Sketch Comedy Presents!

This is maybe 10% heightened from real life

Panel 1 - Bone wizard is on the bus next to a fish wizard. The fish wizard is watching his orb. Bone wizard thinks, "Oh man, this guy next to me is watching videos without headphones"
Panel 2 - Bone wizard thinks, 'Shit I don't have mine either. Just try and ignore it."
Panel 3 - The next video starts up off-panel with, "NEXT UP ON MOST UPSETTING BEHEADINGS"Bone wizard feels ultimate resignation
Panel 4 - The video keeps going off-panel "AAA! MY HEAD! AAAAAAAAAAAA!" Bone wizard squinches his eyes shut trying to block it out but it is not working.

I've got a little post-it note doodle bestiary going

Kind of a weird little lantern guy with one eye, a big fanged mouth and little claws

it is really important to be loud about this stuff because it's typically kept very quiet to enable people to go "See? Nothing happened, it was just people being dramatic"

oh yeah, in terms of good news- I haven't seen anyone talking about this??? In short- worst case scenario of 4C warming by 2100 is no longer possible, new worst-case is 2.8C now DOES NOT MEAN we just relax- the only way we got here is through hard work- but it means THE HARD WORK IS WORKING
