Veggie-man… maybe with some nice salsa flaurentina?

early sunset I find them to be very close to a perfect depiction.

I think you’re on to something, there. oO

As far as I remember he was never called short in the books, right?

Two things come to mind with that-- for one, there’s sort of a trope of the ‘little old guy who’s paradoxically, extremely dangerous.’ (and Gurney was the war-master, right?) Yoda and Gollum come to mind as pop examples, but the core of that might go back to folkloric, mythic examples, such as Rumpelstiltskin, fey faeries, elves and so forth. But I’ve also seen that kind of thing before in various modern lit.

…And I kind of like it, frankly! You know, as opposed to the more common ‘look at me, I’m muscular and badass-looking’ character, which is kinda what Marvel/DC have flogged to death over many decades.

The other idea is that concept art is notorious for being experimental, and of course, intentionally so. So an artist might create half-a-dozen odd character designs to show the production-designer / director, letting the boss pick and choose elements they like best to create the final physical version of that production’s character. All very SOP and common in these cases. So you might even find a concept drawing in which Duncan is the shrimp, and Gurney, the big, imposing guy. :D

Eh, pardon the ramble. It just sort of popped out, haha.

This is from 1969:

I wouldn’t be surprised if the original joke goes back to the silent movie era.

Understood; just wanted to add on.

My point is more or less that this doesn’t have to be a closed-book situation about fish oil. Maybe it can help in some other way, and/or maybe it really can work as ‘advertised’ in conjunction with other substances. Certainly wouldn’t be the first time, if so.

Best webcomic I’ve read in a while. The intrinsic hilarity of the situation was ridiculously refreshing compared to the usual ‘straining to come up with something funny / clever.’

Most fish oil is completely ineffective:

I’ve personally noticed some powerful effects from fish oil: 1) it can act as a neotropic booster, particularly in conjunction with SRI’s and similar meds / substances, 2) it can cause me significant insomnia (no arrhythmia) if I take ~6-8 capsules.

Is that germane to this thread? Probably not, but something seems to be going on. Maybe fish oil has been studied so far on too limited a basis.

Seems like millions of redditors say just that through the many slaps in the face to users, then hang around anyway. :S

A modern Israel never would have been necessary if Jewish people hadn’t been unfairly persecuted for centuries and then genocided in WWII, a good bit of that due to bullshit literature like “PEZ,” that sought to find external scapegoats for internal, national difficulties.

Regardless of all these comments, there’s simply no good reason to start slinging shit in a post examining interpersonal conflicts within Israel. You are breaking the simple rules of this sublemmy (follow “netiquette”), and I don’t appreciate it.

I’ve seen him do a lot of variations of the central figure, but what I love about this one is/are the background color gradients. The blues, greys, yellows and browns. Really cool!

OMG, thank you for explaining that. I get kind of emotional at times, but what you said was… schön?

posts dehumanizing pro-genocide propaganda

I never did, so don’t you dare put that on me. Neither did the post.

I see you’ve learned absolutely nothing, and likely never will…

Oh, well?

I feel that’s a really good point.

For the life of me, I couldnt figure out if Chris Farley or Fatty Arbuckle… *joking, not joking

And vice-versa, only when convenient, right?

The difference is…

Why the mean-spiritedness of that? Why the need to put down other people?

Is it wrong for me to defend my friends, colleagues, and other peoples?

Me, most of my personal roots come what are known as the “Ancient Americas,” spiced-up with conquering Euros. We are now a blend, so what? It’s the new-reality; didn’t you get that memo?

Good point…

Yet, in case it matters, I tortured myself over a couple days, wondering if I should make a post like this. And yet it’s just what I’m reading. At the end of the day, I don’t feel like I should be ashamed for what I’m reading. People who don’t like that can just move along…

Blaze, you know I love you, but if everything that has to do with Israel is automatically controversial, then what is the point of snipping little aspects of our lives?

This is the point where I say: “go fluff yourselves, right?”
