Hi there! Have you had any luck tracking down the latest Harta 2-page exclusive? I've been poking around myself but you always have so much cool and niche stuff on this Tumblr so I wanted to check :) (https://x.com/hari_open/status/1853641946125975833 it's described in this post. There has been a little fanart about it here and there and it stars Laios, Marcille, Falin, Kabru, and an unnamed elf.)

Hello!

I haven't come across it no, If I do I'll try to post it!

Marloweee

Marlow has Autistic Detective swag specifically in that if there are Bad Noises Bad Lights Bad Smells Bad Textures she will go rabid insane and try to hide in the dark for a while before she loses it and bites someone. On the other hand if it is quiet enough, or if it's raining, she will fall asleep ANYWHERE. She probably sleeps in her office more than she does at home. We decided Cup Noodles were invented in the 40s for the sole reason of being eaten by her. She is VERY SHORT. She is left-handed. Anika likes her hair color.

She's a fire witch. She doesn't usually share her first name and simply signs it as her initial: M. Marlow. Her birthday is May 18th. She's the youngest child of many siblings. She has tummy hurt ALL THE TIME. She loves astronomy and stargazing. Her secret literary preference is Vampire novels. She's even gay!

Bonus fun fact: She was named after Philip Marlowe of Raymond Chandler fame but spelled without the E at the end to make it more distinctive.

Hi Frank! I really enjoy your blog. Since you have a really great sense of humor, I wanted to ask you: what do you think makes a good punchline for a joke?

Thanks!

----

There's no correct answer here. I would say I have no strong sense of what makes a "good" punchline, but there is at least something I can describe, like a "nostalgebraist way" of doing it. Maybe a lot of my jokes just hit the same buttons of some weird, specific neural pattern.

I guess the biggest difference between me and, say, Dave Sim, is that I don't have a very well-defined sense of humor, I don't think? I don't "get" humor in the ordinary sense. I find it hard to articulate or describe my sense of humor. A lot of my jokes feel funny, because they're "unintentionally" charming, but there is no clear underlying structure there, or at least not anything that I've been able to isolate and describe.

That's not a bad thing necessarily -- I love humor that feels "unintentionally" charming on its own, which I think a lot of people like. Sometimes it can just be very inappropriate, though. I'd feel way funnier if I could just laugh my ass off with the audience and not have to come up with some sort of structure for it.

I don't "get" most humor at all, because I don't get why people find it amusing. This is not a very funny phenomenon, if that makes sense? I mean, my friends think a lot of these jokes are funny because they are funny, and this is just kind of an awkward failure mode, I guess?

For instance, one of the most famous parts of TNC is something like a parody of this classic Old English poem, with the idea that the protagonist wakes up one night to find an angel and a devil sitting on his shoulders, arguing over who gets to have his soul. The original poem goes:

Þat wæsþonlice hylode,

wæsþonlice wæs þyde,

þæt he wæs healde,

wæsþonlice hylode wæsþyde,

Ah so the issue here is we should be associating more studio killers songs than just Jenny, not that we should be broadening Jenny to nonfemslash things. I concur

Yeah exactly, I’m actually surprised I don’t see more of their songs being used in playlists? C’mon they are good.

It didn’t even occur me that you could interpret it it as the later option sdfahuisfd
