It's nice when your emergency instruments are little rainbows.

Weaponising whimsy since 2006.

In a new It Never Rains comic, the man whose name is not Casey is both vague and specific.

Lyre music attracts gnome witches. I thought everyone knew that.

Hurrah!

In a new It Never Rains comic, something wicked (and slightly distracted) this way comes. itneverrainscomic.com/20251013.html

Thank you!

Could AI do this? (The answer is no. When AI is asked to balance a piano on another piano, it responds, "Yes, of course! I have successfully balanced my pianos," then adds some generic banjo music.)

Trash pandas. The moose have antlers. Best not to give anyone something convenient to grab.

I spontaneously went "BOOOOOOOOOO" at this.

"Who is this strange not-famous person who is interrupting my communion with the Famous Ones? Perhaps I'll condescendingly ask them if they want to be a writer someday."

Then you wander around going, "Am I invisible? I think I may be invisible."

Yes, both of these things are pretty much the worst.

Yes, very gross indeed.

Oari is a good name for the protagonist of a secondary-world fantasy, though.

Right back at ya.

Yeah...and it's funny how I always end up feeling as if *I've* done something wrong.

I think there's a certain politeness that takes over in the face of that kind of rudeness. It's like...Famous Friend is in a social situation where they always have to be "on," and they just go from conversation to conversation without noticing HOW the transition happens. Maybe. It's just a theory.

Yes, it happens in real life. I have had people literally shove me out of the way so they can talk to a famous person. One also stepped right in front of me with his back to me, leaving me hovering awkwardly outside the conversational circle and feeling like an absolute fool. It was super fun.

Lots and lots of high notes, just because.
