        it’s actually quite comfortable as long as you have the proper padding under the metal and the crotch area isn’t too big.

        Seriously, it’s no different than the various styles of plate armor worn for almost 1,900 years by greeks, romans, knights, and conquistadors…

        I am simultaneously disappointed and relieved that no artist, fan or otherwise has replied to this with “Challenge Accepted.”

        Also, luckily I couldn’t reliably draw Walky fully clothed, let alone less so, so I don’t feel the need as an artist to fill that void.

      Thank goodness for the Blue Jays, for a team owned by a major corporation they sure find ways of being cheap and losing their star players!

      At least the Leafs have “salary cap issues” as a legitimate excuse, the Blue Jays have nothing but apathy to blame.

          I don’t think it’d fit. But then again, I might be the only one who feels like Walky wanted the pajama jeans less to be a slob and more because jeans don’t have enough room.

    Seriously Walky, have you ever worn a metal bikini?

    It’d be super cold, it’d probably pinch, and it’s metal on your skin. That’s not comfy.

    • vlademir1

      June 14, 2019 at 12:31 am | #

      To be fair, you’d underpad the metal with leather or the like just as one wouldn’t wear medieval armor without a gambeson. Outside that very specific aspect regarding metal directly on one’s skin your point stands.

      • BBCC
        BBCC
        June 14, 2019 at 1:57 am | #

        In universe, it is indeed meant to be metal on skin. IRL, I’m pretty sure it was hard plastic. Regardless, it was still apparently uncomfortable as shit.

    • Yotomoe

          June 14, 2019 at 2:58 pm | #

          Lining it with leather or heavy cloth would remove the pinching aspect. Just ask Wendy Pini about chainmail bikinis…

      I have a metal bikini for a costume and all the joints are welded in a way it’s smooth. Hell yes to the cold to put on but it warms up super quick. No lining built in but made to have something under if chosen. (Cleaning products from cloth and metal don’t really play along). There are people who mix crochet and scale maile to make cool dragon stuffier. It’s just not something cleanable in a wearable setting would be my guess.

              You are right about Gennaro being killed before Arnold, but Gennaro was killed by the T-Rex when the power was killed. And he was the second person killed after the raptor handler(Jophery Brown) is killed in the opening seconds of the movie and whose death setup the whole chain of events to get the core group to the island

      Does that count as a Monkey Island reference? The “second biggest” thing was a catch phrase in Get Smart before it, and I’ve heard it in a number of things, from Garfield to Madagascar.

        Sure, it’s a fairly common joke that a lot of things have used, but Get Smart and Monkey Island are the two that used it frequently enough to have the phrase considered a catch phrase. And just based on Willis’ approximate age, Monkey Island seems more likely.

        Have done before and for the most part I did not find how the weight put pressure oh my skull comfy in some designs and the number of pins others needed were ridiculous. I tend to stay away from any hair style that requires a handful of the little black metal demons because my hair eats them.

    I feel like the Raptor is warping time and space around it and making the dorm bigger on the inside then it looks from the outside, and that’s why everyone can still move around that gargantuan thing.

    I have two questions.

    2. How long until Amber and Dina make their own TARDIS?

If you do a close read not only of the Bible but the archeology, it starts to look like the Israelites, & all but a couple of Judean kings, worshipped a goddess for pretty much the whole First Temple era. The implications of this are... far ranging-- & her name might not be what we've believed.

I will say for the umpteenth time that the Democratic establishment is terrible at understanding enthusiasm math. An energized base is crucial to winning fights-- electoral and otherwise-- because they will drag the low info folks out to vote and protest and engage. You NEED that energy.

It's not just that he and his policies are unpopular, there's a clear and demonstrated enthusiasm differential now. His base is energetically absent, ours is livid and out in the streets.

Pretty good Spider-Man figure, I don’t care what they say.
Spider-Man doing that thing you expect. It’s the butt thing. Why have I done this to myself? Is this my life? Yes.

Turns out the guy was Chuck Ayers, a nationally recognized cartoonist and creator of Crankshaft. He had a lot to say but the thing that struck me was that when he talked about whats going on now, I could see he was holding back emotion. All this still hurts him to see 55 (!!) years later.

Right now, these sweet kids have no clue how impactful this period in history will be for them, but I hope they will be proud of the time they made the best protest sign ever: The green one that says “Trump eats boogers” #NoKings
Kids and adults standing on a pedestrian bridge over the highway with protest signs that say fascists out and no Trump no ice. The best one is green and says Trump eats boogers.

We can’t make the actual event at the capitol today, so you’ll find us with the kids on University with our signs (and I might bring the megaphone too). Even if you can’t make it to the capitol - come out in your own neighborhoods, even if it’s for a few minutes. Be seen. Be heard. #nokings

At Comic-Con 2009 I was getting misgendered a fair bit and feeling anxious AF about it. Robert Downey Jr. was doing a press conf for Sherlock Holmes. I wanted to shout out a question but hated drawing attn to myself. I did it anyway. He gestured at me: "the lady in the blue shirt." I was so happy.
