Lord Hater was  originally developed as a much younger character totally seperate from the world of Wander. When I realized that he would make a perfect counterpart to Wander I aged and bulked him up but his inner soul stayed the same.

Baby sphinx trying to be like mama and waylaying travelers, but all its riddles are completely non-sensical like the ones a 1st grader would tell

I open social media. I see some Christian Girly who's just reached her first wedding anniversary, and is now dishing out sappy paragraphs-long advice about marriage. I roll my eyes so far back into my head that I see my living oozing brain matter. I close social media.

love it when characters do a sacrifice play ostensibly to save others but mostly so they don't have to face themselves

It is what it is.

JOKE-OGRAPHY:

In this Gospel story (Matthew 10:40-42), Jesus mentions how blessed people will be if they meet His disciples with hospitality instead of persecution. He says that those who receive a godly person into their home because they're godly will receive a godly reward, and even someone who gives just a cup of cold water to one of His disciples will not lose their reward.

In this cartoon, Jesus finishes His "cup of water" quote, which the brothers, James and John, take interest in. Later, the brothers (who Jesus called, "the sons of thunder"), find themselves in a pub to refresh themselves with cool drinks. When they find out the drinks are only lukewarm, they share a knowing smirk. Jesus said someone who gives them a cold drink would be blessed, which (in the cartoon) the thunderboys mistakenly take to mean that someone who gives them NOT-cold water will be DAMNED TO HELL. They request Jesus fulfill this decree when the lady fails to cool their water, and Jesus declines, since that's not actually what He was implying... just to be clear.

When asked about ice, the old lady who owns the pub mentions that the ice machine is broken. This is a subtle nod to the fact that Scotsman ice machines are notorious for constant parts failures and bad warranties. The company, Scotsman, derives its name from Scotothy Sman, a Scotsman of little note who was cursed by witches after deserting his military in the harsh winter of 1461, during a critical operation in the Mexican-Scottish War. Because of his desertion, his whole country froze to death. Some say the failure of the Scotsman ice machines is due to the witches' curse, and that all the cold that SHOULD be making ice in the Scotsman machines is actually being channeled back to their namesake, Scotothy, instead. Legends say Scotothy Sman still roams the world, forever to be haunted by the icy chill of a million broken ice machines, forever to wander and freeze just as his forsaken countrymen did.

"Assumed to not have any natural predators besides their juveniles" is a statement that's most definitely supposed to be taken as "the babies were of more edible sizes than the adults", but for one horrific second made me worry if there was somehow a species whose carnivorous youth actively hunted the herbivorous adults🥲

Me, trying to impress my date with a display of my boundless humility: I would like to order one single, solitary crumb.

Waitress taking my order: Such arrogance! Not only do you presume to boast under the guise of being humble, but your order employs the most decadent of linguistic excesses - the tautology!

My date, who until recently thought "tautology" referred to the study of tensile strengths and upon learning her mistake compensated by reading through its Wikipedia article: That would be more correctly identified as a "pleonasm".

The editor I hired to curate my posts who styles himself as a sort of scheming court advisor: My liege, this one is getting away from us. The punchline loses much of its impact when the rest of the joke is derailed by this increasingly self-indulgent meta humour. Were it up to me, your Grace, which of course it is not, I would cut the others and leave myself as the only supporting character. You need noone else, Your Majesty...

Here's the thing - if you're going to say, "sure this Media Thing isn't the greatest, but it has a Woman, ergo, therefore, it has value." you're sending the message that you will tolerate mediocrity for the sake of pandering to the ladies. Which adds fuel to the accusations that you will tolerate mediocrity for the sake of pandering to the ladies.

There's really no excuse. Awesome females leads have existed since at least the eighties. You're just being lazy and hoping that you'll get enough lady points to cover it.

i love Bill Watterson's quotes on the artistic process, especially as he puts it, in a world where kids' lives are organized to the minute.
