Sketchbook comic. Panel 1: a disembodied voice says “I KNOW a.i. is ethically, ecologically and esthetically awful, but I just gotta say…” Lucy is reacting with a ._. Face and thinking “do ya? Do ya really GOTTA?” Panel 2: Lucy’s thought bubble reads: “do you just GOTTA recite some tired anecdote using the phrase ‘I just typed it in!’ That just amounts to you admitting that your cheapness, laziness and poor taste outweighs your unexamined ethical code?”

Sketchbook comic page 2: Panel 1: Lucy’s thought bubble reads “and, at the very least, do you GOTTA say it to ME?” She is turning away, saying “ok I’m gonna go, um, get a snack.” Panel 2: another disembodied voice is saying “Lucy! You’re an artist— whattaya think about a.i? Ya know, it may be bad, but I JUST GOTTA SAY…” Lucy is startled, dropping a chip.

Sketchbook comic page 3: Panel 1: Lucy is surrounded by speech bubbles and text, repeating the phrase “gotta say…” she looks terrified. Panel 2: she is fleeing the repeated “gotta say”s, yelling “you gotta live with yourselves, but I don’t gotta!” A note with a heart at the end reads “stop doing this I will not absolve you.”

Gotta say…

Yes!! So weird watching it now! To be honest, I'm just enjoying how utterly 90s it is!

8 panel comic P1: A puddle of what may be blood on what looks to be a pavement, rendered grey-purple by the night P2: a foot elwewring abrown shoe enters the frame and steps hard in the liquid, disturbing it-- P3: --before just as rapidly lifting output the puddle, exiting the frame, leaving ripples in its wake P4: A wide Dutch angle shot, revealing a backlit silhouetted figure running from headlights. A dark and ominous city rises skyward in the distance P5: we reveal the owner of the foot. It is a panicked and disheveled looking Jon Arbuckle. He is running forward, but looking back over his shoulder at some unseen pursuer, before-- P6: --BAM! He suddenly slams into a silhouetted figure P7: POV is now over Jon's right shoulder. Sweat beads his face as he backs away from a playoon of Judge Dredd like police. The one in front clasps an electric baton on both gloved hands. A butnjng sting of blue crackles at its pronged tip. The lead cop --all jaw and gristle-- scowls beneath a helmet shaped like a cartoon orange cat P8: skyscrapers loom and dominate the red sky. Two of them have large signs with the apathetic face of The Cat. They both have captions which read "LOVE LASAGNE" and "HATE MONDAYS"

Ha ha! Yeah, I definitely identify with Scully more now even though I want weird stuff to be real. Although I get annoyed with Scully clearly witnessing weird crap and continuing to not believe anything.

Yes!! I was very much all about Mulder when I was young but now I'm like why are they still employing him?? How come he gets to hang out in his teen boy bedroom office and investigate whatever he wants? And truly I have become a 45 year-old.

I had those too! 😆

So far it hasn't held up for me! 🤣 I watched Home with my Blockbuster pals back in about 2004 but this is the first time I've attempted all of them. I still get why I love it back in the day!

Started watching The X-Files which I haven't seen for years (and loved as a teen) and I don't remember them saying X-Files so much in each episode.

I had an alarm set for myself that said "perpetual stew."

Had an MMR booster jab this morning (because that's where we are now) and the nurse told me it might take a week for the side effects to kick in. They have kicked in now. I've drawn and rubbed out the same line in one of my comics about 20 times. Close to admitting defeat for the day.

There are tons of great books in this offer, including one of mine!

A genius STEM book from @swapnahaddow.bsky.social @jessbradley.bsky.social out Thurs: part graphic novel complete with quizzes & lots of Science experiments. How To Save Your Granny From a Runaway Train is brilliant. Thanks @farshorebooks.bsky.social

Well spotted!

Is that an original Marshmallow Man? If so I have that too!

I would have to check with JP as they're his and I have no idea!

A couple of donuts pose, framed in a dramatic spotlight, against a wall displaying a poster showing lots of other donuts, all marked as ‘DESTROYED’. It’s all a bit Donuts of Future Past.

This week in the Phoenix, it’s the EMOTIONALLY DEVASTATING (?) CONCLUSION to Destiny of the Donuts! Will the future be saved? Or will donuts be wiped out across ALL OF TIME? There is ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT! (It is: read the Phoenix. Apologies if that wasn’t clear)
