        Dorothy, Joyce, Billie and the Walkertons,
        On a college fun expedition,
        Met the greatest backpack ever known,
        Dina reached in,
        And pulled forth a mighty raft,
        And took them to a land like none they’ve known!

              He’s got the comic buffer set up waaaay in advance. I dunno if it’s 9 months, but it’s a big one. I guess it helps, since he does SP basically on the fly, it seems.

PANEL 1: A man with spiky white hair and cream robes with a gold superman S on his chest, stands next to a blond woman wearing the same outfit. She holds a swaddled baby with a blue pacifier in it’s mouth. The man holds up a glowing green crystal.
MAN: Dear wife, look! My 18 months of work are done! I designed this one tiny crystal to hold ALL of Krypton’s knowledge!

PANEL 2: The man stands against a white background, still holding the green crystal.
MAN: AND! I designed it to build a “fortress of solitude” out of nothing but ice! AND! I designed it with fully autonomous holograms of us! They can answer any question!

PANEL 3: The man slaps his hand on a metal object next to him, which his wife looks on happily, holding the infant.
MAN: AND! It slots right into this interstellar starship I designed to go to Earth!
WOMAN: And you designed it with three seats, right?

PANEL 4: The man bites his lower lip, eyes wide in regret. His wife yells at him.
WOMAN: …YOU DESIGNED IT WITH THREE SEATS, RIGHT?!?

Good news for the people still circulating this post: it is now a real t-shirt you can purchase and wear to let the world know you take responsibility for the actions of fictional characters:

Normally I’d let this sort of thing just die out but an alarming amount of you have asked where you can buy this and my wife had to have an emergency surgery the day before I made this, so here is my chance to live the American Dream (selling print-on-demand shirts to pay down medical debt)

Working on a t-shirt to sell to the weird people that show up in your mentions every time you talk about enjoying something that has crime or impure thought in it.

Someone leaked the entire unreleased Micronauts animated series to archive.org All 52 episodes Yes they FULLY FINISHED a Micronauts cartoon in the early 2020s and mothballed it

tested ep1 of Micronauts, skipped to the credits so I could see every name of every crew member who put in so much work with the expectation that anybody would ever see the thing they did as part of their vocation in a creative field, working in service of what should be a reliable client & partner

admittedly, i might be arriving at a little annoyance on behalf of anyone responded to ever with "WELL it's not called SMARTING of age" because that's become a lot, i think the fork might be in that one, it's done

today in #9chickweedlane i learned that "how to lie" is not, actually, achieved by cupping the balls, despite the evidence of the entirety of the first panel, but by some other giant pile of words i guess, tl;dr
