Urgh. Keep an eye out for it in the garden; if its wound gets worse it'll need a vet.

So I watched "Future Drama" for the first time the other day. Bad episode is bad. On the upside, it gave me the idea for another dumb mash-up comic.

EDIT: Reuploaded because I managed to accidentally a word in the auto-generated subtitles.

This is... really something.

I don't know how something like this comes to exist on an American Football site, but I love it.

That is a thing. That thing is good. I like good things.

Also, it's Thursday, and AGDQ has raised over $600k already. I am quite impressed.

So it's easy to miss but there are actually four updates to this thing, I just read the fourth. If you reload the original URL after seeing the first, it'll take you to an index.

New series from Matt Groening. Apparently this time he's having a go at fantasy.
The cartoon will take place in the crumbling medieval kingdom of Dreamland, which is populated by hard-drinking princess Bean, her elf companion Elfo and her personal demon Luci. Along the way, Bean meets ogres, sprites, harpies, imps, trolls, walruses, and lots of human fools.
Netflix only, sadly.

Quite Interesting.

I... don't find anything that sounds sucky about this. Oh well, can I still whine pre-emptively about how it'll get cancelled four seasons in?

Also, is it just me, or is Matt Groening the latest creator of visual media slowly turning into Stephen Spielberg? (Looks-wise, at least.)

Lisa Dib? Is she the sister of this Muad fella I've been hearing about?

Good grief their hands. What monster could say no to such a cute dance partner?
