Explaining that true artistry requires obsessiveness and a scientific understanding of form, cartoonist Jim Davis revealed Friday that he studied the musculature of medical cadavers in order to properly draw the character Jon in his syndicated comic strip. “Before I drew a single panel of Garfield, I spent months meticulously examining corpses so that I could make Jon as lifelike as possible,” said Davis, who estimated that he dissected over 30 bodies in his quest to understand how muscles, ligaments, and tendons work beneath the skin.

woah I’m actually done????

there’s a good lesson here notorious procrastinators should never volunteer to hand-draw 52 unique playing cards 

also they’re animated gifs right now because that’s how they’re formatted on the photoshop files and I’m not in the mood to separate them yet.

hi wip! I was wondering if there's some kind of limit on the amount of links that can be included in a single post? I've been trying to create a directory pinned post on a sideblog of mine with probably around 50 links to different tags on the blog & keep getting the incredibly vague "there was an error saving your post" message when editing.

Answer: Hello, @sydmarch!

We can confirm that the limit is 100, but we should add that mentions are also classified as links, and a lot of folks run into that number! So it’s really 100 links and/or mentions, in total.

For anyone close to the limit, we would recommend categorization. You could make a primary list per category, for example, and then make the primary list link to each category. Or, in your specific case, perhaps you could create a custom page instead of a pinned post—that might work better.

We hope that’s some help. Thanks for your question, and keep them coming!

Michael Shuhmouser (2000) by Nick Smith, the creator of Sterling Mouse. "This mouse uses Lego, Hamamatsu sensors and one of the popular Dallas micros. The most interesting feature is the front wheel. If you look carefully, you will see that the wheel has smaller wheels set around its periphery. When the mouse runs straight these little wheels spin to give low friction. The big wheel turns to give steering. When it turns the little wheels give "sideways" grip so that the steering works. The two rear wheels are driven through a differential made from Lego parts. Nick won the prize for innovation for this mouse. It was capable and solved the mazes but the power to weight ratio will always limit the performance compared to mice built from custom components." – Duncan Louttit.
