Happy Birthday to Jesse Owens, an American hero and legend who went to Hitler’s 1936 Olympics, and showed that a black man from the United States was the real winner of the “master” race. I’ll always admire that his amazing example of shutting down the fascists and racists - a real Superman.

I sometimes lose faith in tumblr, especially when people who used to write a lot turn out to be fuckin creeps. But then there are solid dudes like Evan Dorkin that keep me coming back. @evandorkin thanks, man! You keep getting better with age, like a fine dairy product or something.

Washable Crayola marker speed sketch with the kids from Stimpy's Fart. All the feels!! All the art!! Thanks to Bob Camp and John K. and Billy West for burning this plump cat Larry Fine and scrawny rage chihuahua Peter Lorre into my core memories of SNICK and instilling an imaginary future where I could make these magical moving miracles with you guys.

A Tank Girl I thought up a while back, I imagined a post-apocalyptic summer in Australia with snow and iced up landscapes, and fuzzy boots made from the fur of the wild Grimace.
