I think there are currently more Democrats running for President than there are pictures in this set…
D.I.R.E.
That’s “Democrats Insisting on Reparations for Everything”, the cornerstone of the “free shit good, orange man bad” platform that pretty much everyone in the clown car is running on.
Reparations for being a gay couple denied a wedding license. Reparations for getting a graduate degree in underwater genderqueer dance therapy. And that’s just Warren and Sanders this week. How long until they promise reparations for trans activists denied dates by people who don’t find them attractive?

Things no one has ever said...
“Needs more Lobo”.
What’s worse than a rap break in a Barry Manilow song, gravel in your Grape Nuts, or the feces-filled streets of San Francisco? Adding Lobo to a dramatic series about Superman’s grandfather on Krypton.
The tonal shift is jarring, and the reasoning behind it turns out to be that SyFy is developing a Lobo series, and dropped him into Krypton with all the subtlety of Mork from Ork’s appearance in Happy Days.
Seems like a terrible thing to do to a series that’s starting to figure out what it wants to be when it grows up.
"artists who know what they like to draw": Studio Zombie
Wonderduck commented that the artist responsible for my Certain Scientific Cosplay posts “certainly knows what he likes to draw”, which reminded me of one I posted two years ago, where almost every girl CCreayus draws is just C.C. in cosplay.
Here’s another, appropriately named Studio Zombie, where a bit over a third of his drawings consist of Junko and Ai from Zombieland Saga as a very cute couple:
Slower than cheesecake...
Illustrator Yuu Shirousagi seems to have mostly abandoned posting cheesecake on Pixiv, but maintains an active presence on Twitter.
I’m okay with only one pic every 18 months if it’s as interesting as this one. It definitely passes my “want to read a novel with this cover” test.
