THE DYING DETECTIVE - part 3 - part 1 - part 2 - "to the last gasp he would always be the master" - there is at least one panel that made me laugh while drawing it so I hope it makes you laugh, too. It's the least I could do.

This will most likely be the last update for a few weeks - going to England on a trip (where Sherlock Holmes lives!!! omg!) - when I return it will be for a cozy early Christmas special, THE BLUE CARBUNCLE.

(This is in the Watsons sketchbook series!)

this might sound stupid but I can’t help but believe that the new wave of “birth control is actually horrible for your body, you need to get off it immediately” misinformation from influencers and the ‘natural cycle tracking’ apps suddenly being advertised is a sneaky underhanded way of causing more unplanned pregnancies that people now cannot abort. now is possibly the worst time ever to turn towards ‘natural family planning’

Online conservative guys obsessed with movie casting have spent years insisting that all that matters is that the actor looks as much like the character as possible. So you can't try to make the cast more diverse, you have to cast who looks like the character exactly. Anyway after one round of people suggesting a trans actress who looks uncannily like Zelda play Zelda in the Legend of Zelda movie they're going "well, there are more important things than looking like the character". Fellas, I'm starting to think these people just want to keep marginalized people from playing anyone

Sometimes I have to remind my dad that he’s a master furniture maker and most people do not possess encyclopedic knowledge of European and American furniture styles and the history of wood glue

Even more hilariously, this has been their logo forever. Like, over a century. Constancy of purpose, for sure.

Shout out to Sherwinn-Williams, the only paint company that advocates drowning the Earth

I can't stop watching The Day After.

In the 1983 made-for-television movie, the residents of Lawrence, KS and Kansas City go about their daily lives as nuclear tensions mount between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. A farm family prepares for a wedding, a cardiac surgeon comes to grips with his daughter moving to Boston, a missile tech plans his vacation to New Orleans.

As things begin to spiral out of control, nothing much changes except for a few people talking politics and saying 'it won't happen' or maybe "it might happen." People talk about evacuating Kansas City. Nobody leaves. Then the missiles launch, and everyone just watches.

In Los Angeles, today, June 8, 2025, the federalized National Guard is arresting protesting citizens and helping ICE agents kidnap and deport people. I sit in my living room, scanning pictures. Earlier I developed 4 rolls of film. I asked a friend yesterday if "this is the next one."

I can't stop watching The Day After.

it’s kind of wild how there are people out there that have never known financial struggles. who have always had their parents to fall back on. who never grew up wondering if they’d eat that day, or if their lights were going to get turned off. whose parents pay for their rent, or bought their homes or brand new luxury cars with cash. who have never known, or will never know, the anxiety of whether or not they can afford to eat; to go to the doctor; to see the dentist; to breathe; to live. who have always known the comfort of financial stability, and will always know it.

and yet—these people who have never once felt the soul-sucking dread of seeing that negative balance in their bank account—who have had most things handed to them—will insist that if you are poor, you aren’t working enough, or hard enough. that don’t understand how easy it is—heartbreakingly fucking easy—to be on the cusp of homelessness or complete and total loss.

and it just really makes me angry.

im starting to think that treating nazi germany as a unique and incomparable evil rather than as an extention of the western european colonial project that happened to threaten the interests of other western european powers might be bad actually

Murderbot, a construct that was built and used to do extreme violence it's entire existence : I hate talking to people but I will try to resolve this situation peacefully if I can, threats only make people panic and then they take irrational decisions. Extreme violence is sometimes unavoidable but last resort.

ART, a peaceful research transportation : I love talking to people because I can threaten them with extreme violence right off the bat and it makes them do what I want (ads more totally-not-weapons to it's research equipment)
