Mad Doctor Mookie

If I knew fire could actually look at me I’d be terrified. 🔥😱

A black and white drawing of a witch or sorceress looking into flames with her hands spread out before them.

#Drawtober day 23: “Fire Scryer.”
The witch gazes into the flames.
What gazes back at her?

Even its plagues were half-hearted. All self-respecting river kingdoms have vast supernatural plagues, but the best the Old Kingdom had been able to achieve in the last hundred years was the Plague of the Frog*. *It was quite a big frog, however, and got into the air ducts and kept everyone awake for weeks. ‘Pyramids’- Terry Pratchett

The Portland Frog, a person in a frog costume facing a mass of ICE agents in comvat gear.

Man, Sinfest was one of the first webcomics I ever read. Arguably helped inspire me to get into webcomics myself. Hearing what this dude has devolved in to over the years always breaks my heart. 💔

Thanks! It says “Lawns Are Over.” My mother got it for me as a birthday gift cuz I’m trying to convert my own front lawn into something useful. 😁

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

An elderly bearded man playing a large recorder-like instrument. There are strange smoke-like patterns coming out of it.

#Drawtober day 11: “Strange Woodwinds.”
The air blew strange music through the old man’s flute.
He breathed its mysteries.

A side by side picture of me before and after I got a haircut.

I don’t get haircuts very often, but when I do I track down the woman who gave me the best haircuts I’ve ever had.

Presbyterian minister David Black on CNN, who was shot with pepper balls while praying outside an ICE facility.

Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

She’s about to find out.

Sometimes whatever you’re calling doesn’t answer. 😁

A woman in the foreground adorned in robes and antlers cradles a beaded necklace with a pendant, which lies among four small stones. A deer-like creature with matching patterns on its fur, wearing similar beads, and adorned with antlers that may be incorporeal watches her in the background.

#Drawtober day 10: “Summoner.”
The horned one has answered her call, but will it answer her questions?

If you see this quote your favorite Pokémon (wrong answers only)

“A.I., I’d rather put a gun in my mouth” makes for a fantastic slogan.

If by "assaults" they mean "relentlessly mocking them," then yeah I believe that.

I just discovered that my beloved @procreate.com removed the ability to add negative values to text, like Kerning and Leading etc.

Procreate I love you to death, I truly truly do, but this screws over my comics lettering big time.

Every creator should make their own original things b/c, even if you do get somewhere with stolen art or copied jokes, etc you'll never have the skill set to make your own stuff & you'll either have to finally learn to do it on your own, or keep on stealing when you run out of ideas. Better to learn

And an effective place to haunt those connected to it… 👻

Wiegraf is the Kai Leng of Final Fantasy Tactics.

I forgot how much I hate this fucking guy.

A deer-like animal with painted fur and beads sporting antlers that are made of thin lines.

#Drawtober day 9: “Antlers Out of Time.”
When you behold the horned one, do you see its antlers between the realms?

“A.I., I’d rather put a gun in my mouth” makes for a fantastic slogan.

Nope. It’s still very deliberate in its pacing, which is good for my slow-reflexes brain. 😅

Three randomly-named units from Final Fantasy Tactics; Cicely, Gylbart, and Elewys.

In today’s blog at The Legacy of Dominic Deegan I revisit Final Fantasy Tactics and fall in love with the story all over again… except not the story in the game.

THE STARTING SCHMUCKS

lede = introductory section in journalism

bury the lede = hiding the most relevant pieces of a story within other distracting information

Allegedly, it’s spelled ‘lede’ to avoid confusion with ‘lead,’ which was the strip of metal that would separate lines of type.

I’m not a baseball fan, but I’ve lived in Massachusetts long enough that I feel this in my bones. 😄

A photo of my black cat’s back, which has become a shade of brown in direct sunlight.

Black cats are truly magical because when they lie in direct sunlight they turn brown.

A bearded old man in a wizard’s hood looking at silhouettes of towers.

#Drawtober day 8: “Wizard.”
The old mage looked out over the towers, wondering how things moved so quickly beyond his gaze.

In today’s new page of THE LEGACY OF DOMINIC DEEGAN Kaianda gets herself out of trouble but is uncertain the others were as lucky.
