Unbeknownst to many, cartooning is one of the most dangerous jobs out there.

Forget wading in sewage, or repelling off a mountain, or welding a bridge pillar underwater: try spending one day with us down in the cold, dark, joke mines... Watch us wrestle with filthy punchlines. Wash our hands from the soot and grime we've collected by tireless hours of drawing.

Dry our tears when we've given up all hope of ever seeing the sky again!

But we're happy to do it. We'd do anything for a joke.

Accidental Bird-aissance

I've got an entire scold of blue jays hanging about. I think they might be some kind of bird gang. They keep bullying other birds and each other. If I catch one of them selling bird drugs, I am going to withhold their peanuts.

[ducissatenebrarum]

Detail of a Late Gothic fresco (c. 1480) depicting a woman churning butter aided by a demon.

Executed in a naive, folk-art vernacular style characteristic of late medieval Scandinavian workshops, the work relies on bold linear contours and a minimalist palette of earth pigments (ochres and charcoal). The flat, non-perspective composition emphasizes moral narrative over realism.

Location: Tingsted Church, Falster, Denmark.
