Actually a regular-ish human named Charles Hay. I like writing and taking photos and drawing stuff, and I can prove it.

The new iPhone is an emblem of our miserable minimalist era | Dave Schilling The barely there iPhone Air is in line with trends in tech, design and art – unsullied by thought, risk or humor

This is awesome. I too am wildly turned off by minimalism. I miss all the crazy Nokias, weird shaped consoles and general crazy daring noisiness of culture.

Absolutely love it there. Was very surreal seeing it turn up in The Witcher.

My wife and I noticed this in books and films - if someone gets or receives a gift at the start of the story, they’re gonna mega-die.

A four panel comic, drawn badly. In panel 1, an Atlantic Puffin is standing on a cliffside with flowers, overlooking the ocean. In panel 2, we've zoomed in on the puffin. In panel 3, we've zoomed in more and the puffin is saying "wow". In panel 4, we've zoomed in more and the puffin is saying "I'm the handsomest bird in the world"

A very shittily-drawn comic by yours truly.

Panel 1: A bird with a neutral expression looks vacantly at the viewer. Text reads "This - is Cool Bird."

Panel 2: The bird hasn't changed pose but now it's on a skateboard. The text reads: "He really is Very Cool."

Panel 3: The bird hasn't changed pose. He is wearing a black belt around his "waist". Text reads: "He has a black belt in karate."

Panel 4: Close up on the bird, its pupil wide. Text reads: "He contemplates the horrors."

Panel 5: Cool bird sits on an almost bare tree branch. Text reads: "Godspeed, Cool Bird."

The image is signed "Quinn" and dated "24-6-25".

The possum is still sitting in the trash. β€œHeh,” someone says from out of frame. It is a pug, who flashes a wry smile and says, β€œfor me? every day is β€˜make a terrible comic day.’” They continue to mug while the possum stares blankly from the shadows. She grabs the pug, yelling with wild eyes, β€œthen there should be no issue with your COMPULSORY PARTICIPATION, right??? Just another day at the office???”

a six panel comic titled "threat management: the complete guide". each panel is a hastily drawn white dog with large jowls detailing the steps on how to bark at things. 

panel 1: step 1: scan all known dimensions. (the dog is staring into the middle distance, eyes seemingly going in different directions, while the background is reminiscent of the space odyssey stargate scene) 

panel 2: lock in. (the dog's face is drawn in close up, biting his lip and growling)

panel 3: sound the alarm (the dog is barking, jowls flapping)

panel 4: cover the area in drool (the dog is spitting)

panel 5: refer to step 3 (the dog, head in the air, continues barking)

panel 6: ensure the people understand the urgency of the situation, then repeat step 3. (the dog is stomping, and huffing, looking toward the reader)
