Perchance to dream

A storeroom with rotten theatrical decorations, a diplomatic conference in the bizarre recesses of the mind, a temple of the disquieting, a pretentious toilet on a space station, a planetarium and acid

This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.

Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”

ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m

can we have some context to this, perhaps?

Bedrock is having a mayoral election. One of the candidates is a violent war mongering asshole that riles people up against the lizard people. This reminds Fred and Barney of their time in the army.

Back then the father of said violent candidate was riling people up against the “tree people”. Fred, Barney, and other soldiers fought what they believed to be a defensive measure against the tree people. Turns out, it was actually an invasion, in order to kill off the tree people and take over their forest to build Bedrock.

That’s what Fred means when he says he and Barney participated in a genocide. They literally did.

(Extra fun fact, Barney adopted a tree person baby after the war, and his son Bamm-Bamm is the last tree person.)

There are a lot of interesting things about this post but the AK-47 shaped spear is what really got me

This is just as wild with the context

Really good comic book, way better, than the Jetsons one.

Dragons are extraordinarily good mimics, escaping human predation by disguising themselves as common airliners, some even going so far as to sport crude copies of carrier logos. This makes them difficult to track, though most sources agree that the dragon population is critically endangered.

While there has been some success with halting large-scale dragon hunting, conservationists are still concerned about a recent spate of crashes in otherwise healthy adults.

Given that dragons communicate via radio signals and that most crashes occur near military radar stations, it is theorized that the radar may be disorienting the dragons. Investigations are still ongoing.

I spent a good chunk of my weekend scrambling to finish this comic. I hope you like it. I was really trying to push myself with the colours.

You know what’s wild? This comic still gets reblogged every single day. I made it so long ago it doesn’t even feel like my own work haha. Anyways, I guess I’m glad people still like it but it’s very weird to have One Piece of Art that Doesn’t Fade.

if you remove the places most people walk around at they don’t walk very much

This reminds me of that one study on exercise that didn’t count manual labor in the workplace as exercise

I can’t believe people don’t walk very much except for the places they spend a lot of time walking at

🛏 15 minutes

A length of time 81% of people won’t sleep in a day - with the exception of sleeping in beds and the like.

Sleeping on furniture like beds and futons was not counted.

Okay I get it that this is worded in a stupid way, but it does have a point.

Most people drive to and from everywhere because nothing is at a walking distance. And it’s a serious problem with a serious effect on our health.

i’ve seen people talk about bruce accidentally calling tim jason and making it angsty and shit and don’t get me wrong i love it, but also,, that’s just what parents do tbh

ive got two sisters, i get called by their names multiple times a day. there’s no way bruce is sitting there with how every many fucking kids and not mixing up their names

you can also tell what sort of things you’re parents associate with you by what they instinctively call you. for example if you drop smth and get called your siblings name first, chances are that’s the sibling that your parents think drop things a lot

i’ve gotten yelled at for doing things my sister typically do and tbh it’s fucking hilarious to have my parents go “(siblings name)-! I MEAN LORE!” and my sibling gasping in betrayal

anyways my point is, we need to utilize this more. imagine tim or jason doing some reckless jump off a building and getting called dick. or steph arguing with tim and getting called jason. or duke bringing an animal home and getting called damian. like the opportunities are endless and the offended gasps from both children is priceless
