VanVelding

I make The Beige and The Bold podcast. I talk about Star Trek (the podcast is also about Star Trek). I also write A Lair Somewhere which is weird and you're not expected to get it. Also on Bluesky & Pillowfort as VanVelding.

In my opinion, Bill Watterson deserves way more credit as one of the great paleoartists.

He did not need to go this hard, but he did, and he has my everlasting respect for that.

How could you leave out this???

Also I recall in the foreward of one of his big Calvin and Hobbes collection volumes, he wrote a bit about how his knowledge and portrayal of dinosaurs shifted over time as he wrote the comic. Watterson's early dinosaurs were very stereotypical reptilian monsters inspired by the dinosaurs he loved in his childhood:

As he continued work on the comic he researched further into modern dinosaur science of the time, which just so happened to be the height of the Dinosaur Renaissance in the 1980s and 90s. Dinosaurs were being reenvisioned as active, warm blooded, successful animals, and Watterson made an amazing effort to include accurate anatomy and scientific understanding where he absolutely could have just stuck to what he was familiar with. Instead, he created incredibly vivid and real-feeling depictions that absolutely belong alongside the works of other revolutionary palaeoartists of the 80s and 90s like Mark Hallett, Greg Paul and John Gurche.

I feel like the modern internet is getting less mileage out of this image than it could be.

You are an incredibly attractive young man and you know your business, but I have reservations about you being barefoot in so many exotic locations. I hope your shoes are just out of frame.

We're coming to Indy and Chicago for the final two stops on the tour.

Hey geeks!

We’re back, with a new book and a new Kickstarter!

We have so far ruined Science, Religion, and Love. Today, we ruin children.

The comics for the Parenting - An SMBC Collection book have been carefully selected by Zach and Kelly from the entire run of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal and polished up for print!

Many of the older strips are re-lettered and re-paneled to look their best.

Alongside the new collection, backers can also pick up our new illustrated middle grade novel starring a ferociously inactive kid who is dragged against his will into mystery and adventure - Sawyer Lee and the Quest to Just Stay Home. Officially this book is for ages 8-12, but we think it'll be funny for all readers.

Please check out our new Kickstarter here!

Thanks for all of your support over the years.

Zach

PARAMOUNT ON TREK'S 60th ANNIVERSARY:

"We're cancelling everything, go fuck yourselves."

Starfleet Academy ends with season 2

Strange New Worlds ends with season 5

There is nothing else planned😬

[vanvelding]

For some reason, an uneven slate of Trek projects was unable to make a badly-designed, johnny-come-lately streaming platform by a company that's a flailing flagship for MAGA capitulation into the new Netflix.
