At first glance, these objects may look like planets, but they are actually photos of the bottoms of frying pans.

The bottoms of frying pans, folks.

Mr. Franco, that was ill-advised.

Amanda Palmer gave a TED Talk about, in part, her recent album, which was funded entirely through crowdsourcing on Kickstarter. It's an excellent talk on the relationship between artists and their fans, and on the dialogue about the ethics of piracy and major labels. In conclusion: watch it, it's great.

In February living stood still. The birds flew unwillingly and the soul chafed against the landscape as a boat chafes against the pier it lies moored to.

Twitter: The Comic is a collection of comics based on the greatest tweets of our generation. The source material is used verbatim, typos and all. Despite the seemingly random nature of the tweets, the comic has reoccurring characters and story arcs that aren’t fully understood unless experienced through a single reading. With explicit permission from the writers of each comic, Twitter: The Comic could be a pretty rad book.

I love this new trend of actresses calling reporters out on their bullshit.

Can I just, Renner’s face is the second and third frames. He’s so disappointe in the male race at that moment. And so proud of Scarlett.

Scarlett Johansen, you are badass.

Ask your female friends, if you have any, if they’ve ever walked home late at night with a key pushed through their knuckles, just in case, if they’ve ever crossed the street to avoid a stranger, just in case, if they’ve ever taken the long way home because of the weird guy on the corner, just in case. Ask them if they’ve ever made up a boyfriend to get a guy to leave them alone, if they’ve ever gotten off a train car and moved to the next because you just never know, if they’ve ever shelled out for a cab because men like you were at the bus stop. Do you really want to be that guy?

“I’m homeless, and I’m an alcoholic. But I have a dream.”

“What’s that?”

“I wanna go fishing.”

This made perfect sense while I was drawing it.
