I wonder how many b-movie monsters were "IT". -came from beneath the sea (I still need to see this one) -conquered the world (there's two different versions of this one) -came from outer space (I saw this one in 3d!) -! The terror from beyond space .... I bet horror movies have a bunch more :)

back in 1947, there was a book called All-Negro Comics #1. It was the first comic by and for black folks, and thanks to the efforts of @chrisrobinson.info & crew, it's coming back from Image Comics this fall. I wrote a little bit about it. I'm very stoked. essays.iamdavidbrothers.com/2025/09/dont...

I still think it's strange Batman made up a whole team of just people with outie bellybuttons. Just a weird choice.

Thank you for your kind comments. Whoever (you?) did the sketch looks solid :) Musician cats? :)

I could see if you were a travelling school business? Like yo-yo demonstrations, that you'd need something more elaborate. But a few random visits? Seems excessive, especially as you're being reached out to first.

We are getting quite an exciting thunderstorm and heavy downpour. Where was this all summer? :)

Years ago as a parent volunteer. I had to file some paperwork for a criminal background check, but I felt that was acceptable. No fingerprints needed! I was going to be going into the school regularly. But a single classroom visit? Never needed it. I had an invitation from a teacher and was expected

I probably should have done a titty Watto instead of a butt shot. My bad.

I was out running errands but when the radio didn't get cut in with an announcement I accepted he was fine. Now I'm home and it hasn't happened yet? Fuck it. I'M DRAWING A SEXY WATTO BEFORE I GET BACK TO WORK!

Perhaps the elected felon is recently concerned about getting into Heaven because he watched Netflix "The Sandman" production and now believes Death is a strong beautiful black woman. My compliments to actress Kirby Howell-Baptiste on her performance and possibly scaring the diapers off him. :)

It's my own fault. I watched an episode of My Fat Gypsy Wedding on YT to get reference for over the top wedding gowns for a cartoon idea and now YT is shoving more at me. Hopefully doing the 'do not recommend channels' will clean up my feed.

I’m already in bed but is there a strategy for more sexy Wattos in the morning? Should I go back to my desk and quickly draw one now?

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

We keep trying to grow community in soil that has been strip mined and salted by capitalism and then blame ourselves when nothing takes root. You're not a failure, you're fighting a system designed to seperate us. keep fighting. however you can.

Maybe he's got special condiment webshooters? I mean those plastic ketchup bottles can really toss out a stream. It might have been part of his inspiration for webshooters! And webfluid can't be too expensive to make all these years. Mustard could be a major component.

I would hope most fans recognized the work as ai slop and chose to avoid it so their sales declined rapidly for the time they were selling. They will learn quickly that cons and fans talk to one another.

I was gonna say you're thinking too hard but now I'm thinking about it too :) At the minimum I'd say fart noises. At the extreme, possibly some very successful sex work?

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
