You'd think that I like arguments given I get into so many of them but in reality I'm in the middle of a panic attack each and every time.

I don't think I've shared these on here and I was reminded this weekend that I should! Back in October 2018 I made a silly Winnipeg drawing in the Simpsons style, and the huge response I got is what allowed me to start doing art as a full-time job! I did a winter one a couple years later. #art#wpg

A drawing of Winnipeg in a Simpsons kind of style, with a bunch of landmarks like the CMHR and the Legislature building, and little inside jokes like the Garbage Hill sign, and the guy selling purses in front of the Palamino Club. Also some very community-specific references like the Bear Clan Patrol and our buses always saying SORRY. The Welcome to Winnipeg sign says "We invented pizza pops. You're welcome"
A drawing of Winnipeg in a Simpsons kind of style, but this time in winter colours and lots of snow. The references are the same as in the original version, exceot this Welcome to Winnipeg sign says "Warm up with an ice-cold slurpee"

Right to food jail!

 A social post from @Pevenly1 that shows a screenshot of a review of a recipe that says: Do NOT use vanilla in place of sherry! I just made this exactly as written and used vanilla since I didn't have sherry. It is now down the disposal. The smell alone was a huge indicator of what it would taste like. Whoever thought of vanilla with meat? Nasty. With the reply: You did. You thought of vanilla with meat, you absurd rutabaga. Go put yourself in the corner and think about what you've done, while blaming the recipe author for your own stupidity. (Recipe was for Hamburger Steak with Onions and Gravy)

Art Nouveau is when stuff looks like it was made by Elves. Art Deco is when stuff looks like it was made by Dwarves.

An Art Nouveau staircase decorated with curved patterns and soft colors, with a nature-themed background and rounded windows on the walls.

USian means American as in a person from the US if that wasn't clear.

Sometimes I'll see two USians get in a political argument on here and I just want to tell both of them to shut up, it's always the same stupid argument too.

I've always thought Space Marines were stupid, they look stupid and I've never liked them... this guy though, love 'em.

Rock Marine, cheetah print on the calves zebra print on the helmet and an electric guitar that's actually a gun.

Also wearing high heal hoof shoes and featuring a rainbow mowhawk on previously mentioned zebra print helmet, there's a lot to love.

The longer this year goes, the more I think this character is onto something...

Another secret to getting kids to read is to get them to read comics. Extremely digestible & accessible, quick reads, engaging for visual learners, and creates a buffer where kids are more open to reading abt diverse experiences that might have bored or disinterested them in another medium

The secret to getting kids reading is the same thing that worked in the nineties. Reading Rainbow. Free pizzas. Shakespeare rom-coms. A million Jane Austen adaptations. Movies where a guy gifts his beloved an enormous library. Dog who acts out the classics.
