              It was part of the pay-per-view comics for Joyce and Walky, but you had to pay twice as much as usual, and give your left kidney for this one.

Now, at night, when I attempt to sleep, I will lay awake, staring at the ceiling, wondering, agonizing over the woohoo. Where did it go? What lay hidden beyond it’s mysterious portal? I. Must. KNOW!

    When I was in elementary school, they told us that the fire alarm spit indelible blue ink when pulled. So, if it was a real fire, then the puller would be marked a hero, but if it wasn’t, then everyone would know whom to blame.

    I really wanted to test whether this was true, but I never quite pulled it, so I guess the story worked.

    I don’t think Sal pays much attention to anyone. She goes pretty much where and when she wants, usually out windows. But, Ruthless just brings out the ‘do the opposite of what I demand’ in people like Sal. Ruthless brings out the ‘where can I hide urge’ in everybody else.
    Agree with earlier poster, that hair has got to go. I like the long look. This particular style has to be Hell to get tucked into the motorcycle helmet.

      Yeah, it’s a cheesy pop tune, but maybe the incredibly tenuous connection to dinosaurs would catch her attention?

    Whatever you people do– DON’T pull the bright red, candy-like beckoning fire alarm lever of forbidden mystery. No matter how enticing and seductive it may be… just sitting there… aching, begging, pleading… oh! how it yearns to be set off so it may bring it’s song to the populace. Although doing so would be oh so fulfilling and perhaps bring you the peace and joy you’ve craved your entire lives, do NOT pull the fire alarm and release the most tantalizing wonders far beyond your imagination. This meeting is over.

they managed to get the arms and thighs to be different grays, which I wasn't sure they'd be able to do, the way the mold's set up though maybe they're just producing a lot of extra thighs and/or arms in the wrong colors and throwing those away, i dunno

Andrew bought a Transformer from @damnyouwillis.bsky.social‬ and he included magnets of the Walkyverse characters who look the most like us.
Two magnetic characters: a black-haired guy and a brown-haired girl with glasses. He included a third one that I think is the character who looks the most like Helen from my webcomic Narbonic.

HasTak colored their Megatron correctly, but it didn't match the bad memories in my brain. Here's a callout post.

Cops are overgrown children cosplaying War, with all the rest of us forced into their stupid, childish game without our consent, consuming vast funds from the public treasury and ruining lives by the hundreds of thousands.

I cannot get over these cops wearing night vision to arrest a dude on a Southwest Airlines flight in broad daylight.
