There’s a sweet spot between funny and nerdy and I feel like this one missed both.

Ok so we’ve got a comic here, and it’s a scene outside the local Athens Ship Repairs shop and we can see a ship having a piece replaced, but inside the shop behind a ‘no entry’ sign you can see a second ship being built with the parts from the first ship. Anyway, in the foreground you have a ship mechanic explaining to Theseus “Mate, yeah looks like we’re gonna have to replace a few parts but don’t worry, it’ll be as ‘good as new’ in no time” And Theseus, in his cool hat is all like “AGAIN?!”

Today’s Comic: Theseus sends his ship to the local ship mechanic.

Paradoxical Islands, Vikings, Skerries, and a Whole New Thing. OUTLINED Edition no. 54 is finaly here!

Ok! A brand new, wildly chaotic edition of OUTLINED is now up! Jump on in and check it out.
(It’s free!)

I’m biased, but there’s something about the Aussie accent that just cuts through the bullshit so effortlessly.

That’s what you get when you leave ants around.

A very crudely drawn robot head on fire. He has a square head with square eyes and a rectangular mouth, and a little antenna. Around the head is the text "AI is for cunts Draw terrible art"

Might get some stickers printed

Yeah my name got cropped out of this one a loooong time ago! All good. It’s basically in the public domain at this point 😅

It’s not right v left. It’s drama queens getting high on outrage v just normal sensible people.

There’s a bell curve with the Tour de France GC: a race with two perfectly matched rivals is amazing, but at the other end, an obscenely one sided race watching a once in a generation talent completely dominating is also amazing. Anything else is a bit dull.

An entirely vibes-based guide to the 2025 Tour de France I know you're used to actual sports analysis from my content but that's tough shit.

Presenting: Everything you need to know about the Tour de France.

All takes on here are correct. Yes, I hate your favorite rider. Do not @ me.

Gonna try bbq a fish. Should be interesting.

Nah, I’m too close to it so I would have over complicated the drawing by putting in the ‘puddles’ (whirlpools left by the oar strokes!)

As an ex-rower who rowed the course twice unsuccessfully twice during qualifyers, you’ve captured the brutality of the race, although never seen a light purple boat race, but it looks perfect for the map!

Love this!

Absolute joy dealing with a heatwave in the UK. Everyone tells me that I ‘must be used to this as an Australian’ and I smile and go ‘fuck yeah mate, I love it’

But I don’t love it. It’s fucking horrible. This place wasn’t designed to be hot. It’s a fucking nightmare.

When you don’t have the intelligence, patience or diplomatic nuance to govern in a democracy, a dictatorship is the best way to hide that fact.

Ok so, what we’ve got here is a design proposal for a public bench titled “Multipurpose Anti-Fascist Street Furniture” and there’s three images: 1 of 3D drawing of the bench, and then two 2D elevation views of the bench in its different arrangements. The bench is coloured in a kind of reddish orange, and the bench has multiple spikes installed under the seating area, all facing towards the ground, while the back of the seat has a high backed structure. The first 2D drawing shows the bench in a normal seated arrangement, with two people on it reading books. The title under this is “Seating Mode, Good for reading banned books” The next 2D drawing, the bench is positioned on its end, with the high backed structure now becoming a stand for it, where it has now become a barricade, where two protesters are manning it on one side while a militarised riot policeman is attempting to attack it. The large backing design ensures that when positioned on their ends, the tipping point remains on the protester side, so that the defensive structure can not simply be pushed over. Meanwhile, protesters applying weight on the same element stop the barricade from being pulled forward. Holes along the bench surface serve to drain water during wet weather, or while in barricade mode, become a kind of medieval arrow slit. Latches and corresponding holes on each edge of the bench work together to clip multiple benches into place. These same holes and the backing elements also provide hand holds in order to move the benches, which are deliberately heavy for two reasons: 1: As an effective and immovable barricade element, and 2: Any moving and repurposing requires the teamwork of multiple people with a common goal.

Today’s design study: Multipurpose Anti-fascist Street Furniture:

The form of this whale is defining the monumentally large metal curves of a Richard Serra installation. If you’ve ever found yourself inside one of these fuckers like our little man is here, you too would be looking around going ‘wow…’ and that wow would travel around that rusted steel monoliths and jump right back at you; talking back to you with the same awe and wonderment you expressed so briefly before. This is an artist whose work has at one point literally killed someone, and so you’d be wise to escape this artwork if only you could find a way out.

Richard Serra Whale

I’ve drawn a newspaper, and it’s called ‘The Daily News’ and the headline says “ For Fuck’s Sake, What Now?!’ and there’s an article below it with a picture of a guy in a big red tie and shit hair. Actually a pretty good drawing of a newspaper to be honest, really happy with it. Its got an imperceptible beige to it and I even did some nice shadows and everything. Nailed it.

The Daily News…

(Throws scrunched up paper at bin, misses)

“I was actually I was aiming for the floor so yeah, Boom”

Signs the Frog Has Been Boiled A large pot sits in plain sight. There’s a frog in it. Every day, Leader announces his plans to boil the frog. His campaign slogan was “BOIL THAT F...

A man stirs the pot. “It’s a metaphor,” he says.

The frog is sweating.

The frog is informed that this is due to a natural variation in temperature.

“He’s clearly boiling the frog,” say the other frogs.

All books about frogs have vanished from the library.

The first horrible drawing here is titled ‘Armchair’ and is a drawing of an armchair, except instead of your traditional chair materials like timber and metal, I’ve made this chair out of literal arms, all bent at the elbows and desperately clutching onto each other in a disgusting chair-shaped arm-orgy. My favourite bit is the legs, which are all the hand ends of the arms and are kind of clutching onto the ground. To be honest, it looks pretty stable.

This next drawing is titled ‘Finger Food’ and YEAH, it’s just as you feared: It’s food made out of fingers. There’s two dishes on offer here, a kind of pea and finger soup, with the fingers sticking out of the pea soup, which is a particularly nasty shade of green. Next to that we’ve got some finger fries, which, yes, are just fingers sticking out of those cardboard fries packets. It’s all horrible. Does it look tasty though? No, it does not.

Next up, ‘Gumboots’ and YEP - it’s actually getting worse! This time we’ve got some boots but instead of being made out of rubber or leather, they’re made out of gums, and the best bit is that the teeth are all attached at the bottom which also makes the tread of the boots. I gotta be honest here… These do actually look amazing and I wish someone would make them, but only if they make a squelchy sound when you walk around in them. I’ve also done some excellent work on highlights on the gums here - they look disgustingly wet. The gum holes where you put your feet are truly horrible, just looking at them makes my insides do weird things.

And last one (Thank god for that) is ‘Toothpaste’ but in this horrendous interpretation it’s actually a paste made out of ground-up and broken teeth! The tube it’s all coming out of says “Toothpaste: 100% Real Teeth” - Anyway, I’ve drawn this really well and it kills be that one of my best drawings is also one nobody wants to look at. Anyway, I’m so sorry for all of this.

Here’s a little break from reading the horrible news!
Instead, feast your eyes on some truly horrendous things I wish I hadn’t drawn.

I cant say this enough. If you like what someone does, please repost their stuff on here. I dont specifically mean me (although its nice when it happens) but its a tiny action that can make a genuine difference for creative folk. Thank you. x

You’re absolutely right.

Better Call… the pocket.

I’m sorry.

a tv show called Breaking Bad about the worst pool player of all time somebody write that down

You just know the ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner has already been ordered.

Incredible that every mad thing Trump does in order to distract from a previous thing, then requires a new mad thing to distract from that. It’s essentially a debacle Ponzi scheme.

A lovely little street name sign for ‘Meadow Lane’ underneath this title in slightly smaller writing reads: LEADING TO NO SUCH MEADOW followed by NO THROỰGH ROAD On closer inspection, it clearly used to read ‘nonsuch’ but someone has rubbed out the second N to bring the language up to a more modern standard.

Would love to know how many lost meadow-goers got stranded on this street to require this very English street sign to be made.

Also love how it originally was ‘nonsuch’ but someone’s thought to linguistically modernise it by scratching out the second N.

I think this comes down to a fundamental scalability issue with architecture. If you keep enlarging a living space, it moves beyond a comfortable human scale, and that threshold tends to be a lot smaller than what the ego-driven rich deem to be big enough for the statement they’re trying to make.
