Slingshot is a nice detail 😁

just for the record, we started with Venus, but they kept breaking them, so we switched to Mars.
Venus is toxic AF.
She’s hot, but there’s just too much pressure to make it work.
She’s got it, yeah baby she’s got it.
it’s a caustic relationship.
Never put your dick in clouds of sulfuric acid.
But… I really think I can fix her with a little terraforming.
She courted briefly with the Soviets if I recall, but even they couldn’t tame her hot heart with a cool island song
I love how the moon is just super happy for everyone involved.
You got those eagle eyes.
Not the first time I’ve been told that, actually!

Lie Bot: Saddest Thing: redux

they have this conversation across an empty breakfast table

I don’t get it
The little girl is getting kicked out by her parents because she ā€œwill never be prettyā€, which is all a girl is worth according to misogynist belief.

Yeah ok I mean that’s literally what’s happening. But is there a joke? Or something unexpected, insightful, thoughtful, humorous, something special or of any significance other than a random statement? What’s sad about it? Why a robot? Why a liebot? Is he lying?

Tbh I still don’t really get it.

Thank you, my thoughts exactly. Tragic is not exactly the same thing as sad.
The punchline is the setup. It’s an anti joke. Perhaps a bad one, even. Quite rare in this joke landscape, I can see why it needs to be preserved
Tbh, I feel like calling this ā€œsadā€ doesn’t do a good enough job of refuting the underlying misogynist belief (that a woman’s worth is her looks) that the parents have.
Liebot was this vaguely racist Slavic stereotype character that tried to make Phillip (the otter) cry on occasion. This is probably the tamest one.
Aww… They’re so sweet.

Long before I ever settled on being any sort of artist or musician, I was obsessed with robotics. Eventually I realised that just because I was good at drawi...

This was genuinely fun!
Why doesn’t Jupiter, the largest planet, not simply eat the others?
I think that’s his eventual plan, depending how much of his fluff is real bluster

O no, this is amazing, I’ve done something similar but far less cute and funny in the past:

jfml.eu/2023/03/illustration-cute-planets/

Gonna have to disagree with you about far less cute, that’s adorable.
Awww, thank you! But I love the interaction in the above one so much.

This is so lovely! I can’t read everything the dwarf planets say unfortunately but it is cute nevertheless.

I laughed at Neptune being so happy about having the strongest winds. Truly a gassy planet.

Oh, thanks for letting me know, I’ll check that type size!
If it’s of any use to you, I cannot zoom in on the website (in mobile mode), neither on the pictures, nor on the text. My guess was that this was a feature to not copy your work? On my phone, this ends up being too small to be readable. But I’ll assume you did my boy Pluto justice.
Really, that’s weird, I just tried it with Firefox on mobile (IronFox) and I can zoom. What browser are you using? I also added a link to the poster so it should open the image file (which should hopefully be zoomable?). The image itself is not very big, though, I should probably upload a bigger version … Kinda hesitant to do that since it’ll only feed the slop machines but then again it probably won’t make a difference anyway. I hate this timeline. +___+

Yay, now I can open the first image and zoom in! The lil’ heart on Pluto šŸ’œ thank you!

I was using standard firefox btw. The two other pictures that are cut outs can’t be zoomed or opened, in case you want to know!

Whoa those illustrations are awesome šŸ‘ Keep up the good work!

This just a lovely comic, so have a double up vote.
