This past weekend we had to say goodbye to our precious baby boy, Charlie. Our hearts are ripped to shreds. He was our entire world. And if any of y'all would like to buy some stickers/donate to help pay for insanely high expenses, it would be a big help. ko-fi.com/sweetbeansco...

13 panel comic P1: Closeup of a lit sign sticking out perpendicular from a drab brick walls, as rain pounds down. The sign has a stylised logo of two red hands clasping each other, above which are the words "JOBS-WORTH" P2: Cut to interior, as we look at three people sat beside each other. The one on the left is a badling middleaged man, the one in the middle is a bored looking young fella, and the one on the right is an angry young woman. Someone off-panel says "Alright folks! Are! We! Excited! To get employed!?" P3: we dolly back to reveal a board room interior. The three from before are sat at a large table. At the head of it is a guy with an empty smile, wearing a blue pullover and tan chinos. Behind him is a flipboard with "YOUR JOB IS YOUR WORTH" written on it. Gesturing with his left hand, the smiling man says "haha. Of course you are! You want to give back to the community, don't you?" P4: Closeup on smiling man, as he lifts a sheet of paper with a doodle of him throwing wads of cash in the air. "In front of you, you'll find a pen & paper. I want you to draw where you see yourselves in five years! See? I drew myself with lotsa money! Haha. Alright, get going! P5, 6, 7: five minutes pass on a clock P8: The smiling man says "okay, pens down! Let's see what you've drawn!" P9: Middleaged guy holds up a drawing of him smiling and says "It's me, only I'm not sad any more." JW Guy replies "haha! Not job related, but ok." P10: Young fella has a drawing of him shaking hands with an employer. "Eh, I drew meself gettin a job, like." JW replies "good! very good!" P11: Closeup og the woman's glowering face. JW asks "and what about you, Susan?" P12: Closeup of Susan's shaded eyes, which could kill. P13: Susan holds up a drawing of a grave, with a headstone which reads "RIP SUSAN." The JW guy replies "damnit, Susan"

your job is your worth

9 panel comic P1 A happy looking fellow stares out at us with a corporate-mandated smile, as he holds a red tube of Not Pringles in both hands. The mascot fella says "Delicious Tübz. Once you POP, you won't STOP!" P2: Closeup on the tube, which is clasped by the guy's right hand on its centre, while the left hand clasps the lid. P3: The left hand removes the lid with a POP! P4: --and slams it back down again P5: POP! The lid is removed P6: And back down again P7: POP! P8: Aaaaaaand back down again P9: Cloesup on the mascot's still smiling face, but a look of obvious fear in their eyes. They shakily say "h-help... me" as the popping continues ever on.

6 panel comic P1: A car with a face on its front happily speeds along a road with an audible "VROO." ON the road in front of it, we see a tiny speck. A red square highlights the speck, expanding into-- P2: --a closeup of an ant, looking up in horror P3: The car's front right wheel hits the ant with a "bonk," and-- P4: The car flips off the road, a look of shock on its face P5: With a "fwup, fwup, fwup," the car somersaults into the sky P6: We end on the car leaving the Earth's atmosphere. We see a group of frozen dead cars already floating in space.

This is what is called sequential art, also colloquially known as a "comic." It depicts a gag or narrative via art in a series of panels.

4 panel comic P1: A T-posing stickman with a very simple --and unimpressed looking-- face, staring back at us and saying "omg, you lazy BASTARD" P2: The same stickman, only now there is a grid of red lines filling their body, implying volume and depth. The stickman, still unimpressed says "PFFT. Adding volume doesn't make this any less lazy, you know." P3: The stickman now has a "realistic" muscular body. "Oh, come ON! This isn't good comed--" P4: Closeup on the stickman's "face," which is now a set of pecs where the eys should be, and a six pack where the mouth should be. The horrified stickman can only say "mmh. MMPH!"

Blind Alley No. 421

yuuuup

6 panel comic P1: Establishing shot of the exterior of a drab building, containing a job centre by the name of "JOB BOOST" P2: A balding middle aged man in a blue suit sits at a table with a sheet of paper in his hands. Looking over the paper, he says to someone off-panel, "so..o instead of "skills" you've written "skulls," and underneath that have only written "yes." P3: Cut to over the shoulder view as we look across the table to the other person, who is a skeleton. Their hands are clasped casually, as they stare back in silence. P4: Closeup on the skeleton as they reply "yes" P5: Cut back to the balding guy as he puts the sheet down on the paper and looks on with an exacerbated look on his face P6: Pinching the bridge of his nose with his left hand, the guy points away with his right hand and says "get out."

I hear they're really good at

job haunting

"detour via job centre"

I felt that in my bones.

I just checked out that thread, and what the hell at some of those replies.

I've noticed that if someone has a photo of a dog as their PFP, there is a very good chance they are exactly who you want to avoid.

Performing self-care by blocking Americans.

Urging some enterprising indie devs to replicate this look with hi-def digitized sprites.

4 panels, the first is just the waves of the ocean and some big ol’ clouds. the next three are focused on each of the new pokemon starters. Browt a little chicken looking guy is sitting on a log in a forest on the edge of a beach. Pombon a fluffy fire dog is standing proudly on some rocks while waves crash against them and lastly gecqua, a water gecko snoozes on a rock in a swampy pond area.

browt / pombon / gecqua

6 panel comic P1: A lil bean of a cat rides an electric scooter at speed P2: we cut to a set of outdoor stairs, with a metal railing P3: the cat Tony Hawks/Sonic Adventures down the railing P4: and hops off P5: We cut to a distant shot of the stairs against a cloudy sky, as the cat lands the sick trick and speeds away. A guy stands in the foreground, watching this all with obvious confusion, as he thinks "huh." P6: Closeup of the guy's worried face, as he continues thinking to himself "Shouldn't they be wearing a helmet." "thats not safe"

Sorry

hashtag relatable

I went back to their very first post, and they are immediately out the gate posting a link to a news article. No intro or anything.

My money's on bot.

Adding these to my ever increasing list of stuff I don't need but absolutely must have.

I refuse to believe someone with that username isn't either trolling or a bot.

oh my

you're all mean I'm telling my mam

Well, I've got that monotone voice at least

nope. stop that.

Stop reminding me of the ceaseless passage of time.

Who isn't calling is a competent graphic designer (the bars on the I, instead of without).

Two cheap-o black sweaters with tags, laid out on a bed.

As I get older, my dressing style is being like a cartoon character, and having one set of clothes (black sweater and jeans), so I grabbed the last of these on reduction.

The way you rendered the water is so, so good
