I've got another scofflaw here! That ticket clearly isn't for the SkyTrain in Vancouver, yet he boarded at some point! Also, he stole a knife from a crime scene.

Vale a man with light skin, elf ears, short facial hair and long dark hair in a half ponytail faces to the right, eyes closed, brown furrowed, wearing a shirt with a white collar under a dark jacket, the hint of a sword can be seen on his back. Facing him on the right is Tassera, a woman with tan skin, green eyes, her curly purple hair in a ponytail, wearing a dark coat and a smirk on a dark street softly lit by lantern light. bad influence page 119

A panel from the webcomic Into the Smoke. Judd, a priest dressed in vestments for Mass, bows his head and grits his teeth while praying in Latin, "DΓ³mine, exΓ‘udi oratiΓ³nem mΓ©am..." Behind him, the demon taunts, β€œHe can’t hear you.” Its black hand reaches under Judd’s purple chasuble, lifting it to reveal his alb, cincture, and stole.

⚠️ this has happened to an alarming amount of people I know. remember that when you open a random .blend file there's the risk that it'll execute unwanted code.

more details on how to prevent it/mitigate the damage in the quoted thread, as well as in this post: www.reddit.com/r/blender/co...

A panel from the webcomic Keeping Time. Stef, a guy with a gap between his front teeth in a legally distinct from the White Sox hat is looking down, not smiling but not actively frowning as he remarks, "Master of none."

Stefon Martin:
- could use an extra 3 hours of sleep
- is still bummed he never had a Zoobooks subscription as a kid
- is indifferent towards his band's new singer. so what if this guy was someone his bandmates knew in high school, is that important or something

Two panels from the webcomic Into the Smoke. Panel 1: Judd, a priest, is shown. Judd’s face is shown in profile, his eyes eyes wide with shock as a large black claw wraps around his face, holding him by the chin and neck. Behind him, a demon bares sharp red teeth and snarls, β€œSuch impure thoughts, Father.” Panel 2: Judd squeezes his eyes shut as the demon scratches its claw across his temple. The demon continues, β€œI could feast on them for days.”

A comic panel from Keeping Time. Two guys with guitars turn to look over their shoulders with expressions that read like someone saying, "dude." with a hard period and a falling intonation. Behind them, a Japanese dude with a guitar bag smiles like someone going, "Oh, sweetie."

POV you're the innocent, sleepy drummer of an unsigned indie band and the guitarist has just convinced a fourth dude you guys knew in high school to join the band. wait why are they looking at you like that, was it something you said
