“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift

I kind of understand fashion shows with exotic outfits not meant to show off things people will actually wear but just to make a statement within an artform.
I will not now, not ever understand the wankery at car shows where automakers will design concept cars not even close to anything a human being will ever be regularly driving. Yeah, some artistic design goes into a car, but even more than fashion, the designs are constrained predominantly by engineering challenges.
It’s just: “Hey, I know we’re intentionally ruining the planet and bribing/extorting your governments to let us, but maybe one day it’ll be cloaked in the aesthetic of a shitty sci-fi utopia instead of a shitty sci-fi dystopia.”
It took me until the third panel to realize that they weren’t talking to somebody actively hanging themselves.


Tarzan definitely was, at least in the 1999 Disney film. The only female gorilla roughly his age that he was close with was Terk, and it’s clear they have a cousinly, lightheartedly standoffish relationship. The others in the tribe treat him prejudicially as an outsider.

What interest would I have in a topic
You decided to write a passionately spiteful comment about it; not my job to decide why.


“When I go to [do normal, totally uncontroversial thing]… and [nonsensical catastrophe that I made up in my head happens].”


hopefully it’s permanently impassable.
You… Didn’t read any of this or understand how any of this works, did you?
They say the only option is to wait for the ice block, called a serac, to melt – which they hope will happen within days.
Yeah, and it’s about to be 2 deep 4 him.
Yeah, that T. rex in the book is clearly about to do something terrible.


Very quick and probably wrong guess: might be Carlotta Zanettini? If nothing else, you might like her art if you like this. The EFF doesn’t credit the banner anywhere that I can tell.
Edit: My best guess is that I’m wrong and that it’s in-house.
Yeah, totally understandable!
I had my first actual small internal crisis the other day where I felt brief but real panic, like I was drowning:
The Titan submersible is less than two months from its three-year implosionversary. Time stopped feeling real. Like, no, right? Surely no?
That’s a max possible sentence, but then it’s also authoritarian hellhole Singapore that executes people for moderate-level drug crimes, so we’ll see how it plays out.
