A comic about the spectrum of responses to stress - we talk alot about the more extreme ends of this and trauma, but the more subtle and every day responses can be harder to spot. if we can understand our own and other’s responses better, problems Are easier to confront and blaming is less likely to happen :) hope it’s helpful!!
Continuing my (accidental) Ace Attorney series with late 80’s Wright and Edgeworth! Just calling your rival your “work husband” until it sticks 😎
Many insects are so nearsighted they would actually see nothing but the lips floating out of nothingness to smooch them and then vanish
my partner and I saw you at the UFO conference and we hate your vibe
Wanted to draw them in detailed clothing too like in my zukka sketch. It’s really fun to draw tiny details like these.🍥🍅
People I met for a few moments that live in my head forever.
I like how the medical attendant is keeping a safe distance and both are masked. Good form.

Encounter: the Magdeburg Unicorn
Is this a real photo something looks off about it
This does appear to be a real photo. It is of the inside of the Kunsthistorisches Museum.
Photo is by Mark MacDougal.
However, as best I can tell that is not the real skeleton, or even a direct replica of rhe skeleton. Wikipedia has this to say:
"In the 17th century Otto von Guericke, the mayor of Magdeburg, wrote a newspaper article about the finding of some ancient animal bones in the Zeunickenberg, a Harz mountain near Quedlinburg, in which he held the opinion that the bones were the remains of a unicorn. Based on Guerickes writings Leibniz drew a fictional reconstruction of the unicorn's skeleton using the bones that had been found in the cave and published the drawing in his book Protagaea."
I think the museum replica is based on that drawing. However the museum's website is in German and I don't have the patience to investigate further.
Here is Leibniz's drawing:
So of course it's one of the worst fossil reconstructions in history. It's a model based off a drawing based off a vague description of a some bones written by a local politician who had no idea what they were.
Holy shit, it looks like someone made a Far Side comic in real life
Excuse me! This is not just a drawing by some guy – this is a drawing by LEIBNIZ, aka the inventor of calculus and the rival of Isaac Newton. He helped invent mechanical calculators! He was a major philosopher! He helped develop library science! This dude was a leading intellectual figure of his time. And he did visit the cave the bones were from himself – he didn’t just doodle up a vague idea based on a newspaper article he read.
In other words, Terrible Unicorn was cutting-edge science!
This was 'found' in a small cave we Visitenkarte a few years before.
Guess what it's called.
Yeah. Unicorn cave.
Why? I’m from Australia so I don’t know anything about this stuff
Because there should be public transit and trains. It is a ridiculously short flight that is just polluting the world unnecessarily but a lot of people don’t have a better option. There’s so many major cities in that small area that they should have train lines between them all
okay so like, I live in Baltimore. Boston is 8 hours by car away. But! There’s a direct train that goes there so I should take it and-
the train is 8 hours. Okay no big deal at least I’m not driving I can relax and-
the train ticket will run me one way between 100-300 dollars depending on when I buy it from Amtrak.
However, I can get an 80 dollar plane ticket one way on southwest, so I do that instead.
anyway it is beyond frustrating to be in the most used part of the amtrak system and still have train tickets be so goddamn cost prohibitive.
thats not a policy failure, its seven policy failures duct taped together
