The Realest Part Of This That Disturbed Me Was The Implication That Some Part Of Modern Airplanes Is

Third time's the charm, hopefully :D

📚Watson's Sketchbook PREORDER!📚

Hello! In response to ~unprecedented levels of demand~ for print versions of Watson's Sketchbook Volume 1, I'm doing another print run, and will be opening preorders here on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, at 9:00am PST/12:00 noon EST/5:00pm GMT.

DETAILS:

-This run is much larger than the two previous ones, but still limited, so being prompt is a good idea. Last time it sold out in 2 minutes, I do not think that will happen this time, but...early bird, etc.

-They will take a bit longer to arrive than previous orders, but should arrive for everyone by the end of January 2025, print- and shipping-gods willing. Thanks in advance for your patience, as I'm working with a small press printer and a small local distributor.

-If your address changes before the book ships, you can always send a message to the shop to update it. In general, any messages or questions about shipping should be sent there rather than by reaching out to me on here.

-I'm really hoping this run is large enough so that everyone who wants one can get it! Thank you always for your support of this ridiculous project that has consumed my life (positive) and for your support of independent art and queer art!

"She's tilting pretty sharply bitchward" would live rent free in my head forever even if it wasn't part of one of the catchiest songs I've ever heard.

I'm still in a Galavant mood, so I'm posting a thing.

If you see this and you've watched Galavant, reblog this with one line from Galavant that you still find yourself saying/singing.

Mine is:

"A new season and it's totally bitchin'."

Been trying to learn bookbinding (to mixed results) and from the looks of this I should have started simpler!

I made this zine last year to teach Japanese stab binding. It's a technique that every artist should know—with just a few tools, it's so easy to bind your own sketchbook or to make a physical version of your art/writing/etc. Download the PDF version (with bonus photos & tips!)

I miss when I would get Tumblr asks that actually said things and weren't just digital panhandling scams.

I'm glad we actually limited his powerset a bit more than that, I guess back in the 60s it wasn't as well known just how WEIRD "all the powers of earth's lizards" would be if true. Amazing Spiderman 6

I love this take! I do feel that in his defense he only picks up the gambling as a schtick AFTER becoming involved with a mystical force that can demonstrably affect chance outcomes.

I like the idea of combining the two ideas; he learned there was a way to lean on the odds and he ain't too proud to try it.

It will never cease to hurt me that his whole gimmick is gambling and luck when his father's gambling issues are (one of) the very thing(s) that delt him a shitty hand in life. For fucks sake, Jou pays his own tuition (highschool in Japan is neither required nor free. It's mentioned that he is trying hard HARD to turn things around by getting into domino high in the manga.)

I can't even blame him for trying to fix things with luck and gambling, it's all he was taught by his old man after all. Ahh talk to me about this I have so many thoughts about Jou. He deserves better.

SO psyched!

more physical copies of WATSON'S SKETCHBOOK are arriving soon! I will be opening the site for sales on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1 at 9:00am PST/12:00 noon EST/4:00pm GMT. Last time they sold out quite quickly, so I recommend setting an alarm if you want one from this batch!

Here is the link for the shop where you can find them (as well as other comics!)

WATSON'S SKETCHBOOK is a 178 page zine of sketches and comics from the Sherlock Holmes canon, which I've been posting in webcomic form on tumblr and my newsletter. Ships worldwide.

obligatory cat+books post under cut:

TOAST!

mr migraine. my me a grain

make it the hurtest of my stupid brain

normalize my 12th grade English teacher, who admitted that his favorite TV show was Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and when a male student suggested that it was because Buffy/Sarah Michelle Gellar was hot, wrinkled his face like he’d bitten into something rotten and dead, and said, “At my age (he was 53), there is nothing less sexy than a teenager. You’re all disgusting messes.” It was 1999, I was 17, and I’d grown up in conservative Christian schools and churches. In my life I’d heard heard dozens of sermons from male preachers and teachers and even some older students, whining about how hard it was to be a dude and not commit the sin of thinking sexual thoughts, and how they needed women to wear long skirts and cover their bodies to not objectify them

and my bitter, misanthropic, atheist Brit Lit teacher, who hated my class because he was obsessed with teaching Tom Sawyer but got stuck with Shakespeare and Jane Austen, was the first, and this day the last man I have ever heard articulate a rebuttal from the depths of his soul to the idea that it was normal for teenage girls to be desirable to middle aged men

Damn I needed this RN
