Went to Catcade, a rescue/shelter for cats where you can pet cats and play arcade games (and adopt cats). This fella figured it all out by finding the one place where he wouldn't be bothered. They removed the 1-way door for the prizes, so she just did as he pleased.



I don't know much about cats, but this seems like a really good way to get your crane toys covered in cat piss.

It's not irony that multiple things can be bad.

I liked the art in PA more before the hair became entirely absurd. It's not a groundbreaking comic but it's not bottom of the barrel or anything.

Goons love to go on about how poo poo tastes bad, poo poo is unhygienic, nobody should ever eat poo poo, but guess what? I love eating poo poo. What now, goons? :smug:

It's "texture" to disguise the fact that he only put five minutes of effort and a couple gradient fills into drawing the location. A LOT of cartoonists find backgrounds boring, and want to focus only on drawing characters. The lazy ones never bother trying to hide it.

It's not irony, they're criticizing the person defending the stupid thing in a stupid way.

He's been doing that comic for 25 years, and like 90% of the panels are just those two dudes sitting on a couch. Why doesn't he have a stock of backgrounds he can use?

It would only take an afternoon making the vague "room" they're always in in Sketchup to have a 3D model to trace from whatever angle, and then finding a bunch of pictures of couches on google. Instead, he chose to find the actual least amount of effort he could put into his job and not lose money.

Industrialization has made a lot of people massively undervalue the time of artists/craftspeople... of course you have to be pretty dense and not think very hard about what you're actually asking someone to do.

The last minute "my girlfriend is sick" ploy is :discourse:

Well they're also a multi-million dollar corporation so :shrug:

They hit on the nerd zeitgeist at just the right time to make their comic insanely large and now they have to have business managers and poo poo.

Also they need to have those things because in the early days of their comic they inadvertently sold the complete rights to it.

With this the thing that annoys me is the customers insistence that they get the blanket from this particular person. They were quoted a price and it was a price they didn't want to pay. It is no skin off their nose to say "Thanks for teh quote, but that's more than I'm willing to pay. I guess I'll have to keep looking." There is literally no need for any of the ugliness/entitlement that follows.

The obvious solution is to agree to the $70 price, tell him it will be 4 weeks, then never do it.

There's a Twitter feed called For Exposure which is nothing but screengrabs of entitled customers screaming at artists for not working for free or for peanuts, there's thousands upon thousands of people who really are this dickish. (I'm pretty sure that crocheted blanket discussion came from that twitter feed originally)
