it's the very 2020 version of cyberpunk. instead of a giant blimp dominating the sky, it's a min wage contractor in a little box truck

Sagebrush: Feb 26, 2012; ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.

negative. it's technically VFR weather (more than 3 miles of visibility) but that doesn't make it safe. it would be pretty, but creepy and dangerous. it changes really fast too.

also i don't trust the weather report. it was saying 4 miles visibility, but that is measured with a laser sensor next to the runway, so if the smoke is hanging around at 1000 feet it could be reporting 4sm on the surface but actually like half that when you're up in the air.

shit wizard dad

oh nice, I had a voucher from the tee printers I use that dropped the price down to almost nothing so I took the opportunity to test a new preparation mode for designs I worked out that gets rid of any pure black in the design - I was worried it might make the final print less hard wearing as its in lots of bits rather than the solid rectangle print you get when you leave the black in the design, but it came out real nice.

I also found out what the max print size was from the store online chat, so both the front and back are 40x50cm.

(I usually like a fitted L size tee but for lockdown home slouching this is an XL)

lol the original back print poster was a tall thin shape, but as I wanted to get as big a print as possible I thought ok let's try an actual real-world and not funny meme application of photoshops 'content aware scaling' and wow without needing a single other edit if you didn't put the two side by side you would never know.

quote:

Dear Loyal, Patriot Readers,

Throughout my esteemed career, I have avoided succumbing to the use of what I consider to be the greatest gimmick in all of cartooning: color. Color is the crutch of no-talent hacks, uninspired wannabes, and artless sickos. Previously reserved for that desolate wasteland referred to with unintentional irony as �the Sunday Funnies,� color has spent the past decades seeping further into every section of our beloved newspapers, becoming a CMYK blot on journalistic integrity.

Sadly, the field of Editorial Cartooning has not been immune to this ostentatious scourge. Flim-flamming money-grubbers like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, peddling their gizmos, have brainwashed honest craftsmen into becoming rainbow-vomiting �content creators,� more dedicated to the �beeps� and �boops� of their computers than to sacred cartooning traditions and norms.

I have remained steadfast in my vow to banish not only hues, but also shades of gray from my work. My cartoons are a gift given selflessly to enlighten you to the way I see the world�in stark black-and-white terms�and drawings.

Thus, have I remained resolute�until this week. With a deadline looming and a cold whiskey sour in hand, I looked to the Heavens, as I often do, for inspiration. The vibrant, natural beauty and wonder of the skies adjacent to fire-ravaged landscapes was clearly a sign from beyond that the jubilant season of scarves and jack-�o�-lanterns was upon us.

It was then I knew I must heed the call to echo the expression of the divine in this week�s cartoon. And so, I bestow upon you glorious, life-affirming, freedom-loving ORANGE (0C 50M 100Y 0K)!

Fear not, I have not forsaken my oath, merely provided the exception that proves the rule: Cartoons with color are not worth the newsprint they�re printed on. Except this week.

God bless,
Kelly
