The American Women's Volunteer Service held a rehearsal of what the householder is to do in the event of a bombing raid. Mrs. Bennett Galef, housewife, aided by Mrs. Ray A. Wetzler, left, member of the A.W.V.S., covers her windows with black curtains to black out light that might guide enemy aircraft, December 13, 1941. The windows have been taped to make them more resistant to bomb concussion.

Today’s Flickr photo with the most hits: the altar in the Fraeuenkirche, Altstadt, Dresden, Germany. 

Now restored and looking fabulous.

It was utterly destroyed in the bombing of Dresden, February 13-15th, 1945.

Oct 6 1914 in WWI

October 7 1914 #OTD Honolulu Star-Bulletin publishes this photo about how Count Zeppelin is making preparations for Zeppelin fleet to bomb England.

I believe this Airship is LZ 11 aka Viktoria Luise.

An old animation I made back in 2015. Yes, it was actually drawn on paper. I used the stop-motion setting on my 3DS to film this. No joke. I had no idea how the thing would even turn out.

Anyway, I’m sharing this because despite me having been too lazy to write or draw lately, I still wanted to give you guys some content before the year ended. I’ll try to draw more in 2018.

If anyone’s wondering why the characters are Toads, it’s because that’s what I drew back then instead of people. Was long before my furry days. Hope you guys like it.

See you all in next year,
