I really need to get around to drawing a new profile thumbnail. Red hats really went out of style hard back in 2016.

I keep hoping they're going to come around again so I don't have to redraw it. I hate drawing.

You don't even have to put ice in there. Nobody checks that.

Has Mastodon talked about this yet?

The future we were promised.

Why don't automats still exist?

They seem like the best solution for fast food.

I keep mine turned around in the boxed set. That's its punishment. It's never been out of its box.

(PS : No, I don't have a whole shelf dedicated to that box. I just didn't want to photograph it in situ and reveal how much of a mess my storage room is.)

Someone asked NASA's Twitter account why astronauts have mirrors on their gloves.

I have a better question : Why doesn't everybody?

I enjoy reading the comments on old IndieGoGo campaigns that were incredibly obvious scams.

These people, who paid $90 each to pre-order a wrist-watch that was also an air-conditioner, are starting to realize that doing that might have been a bad idea :

Are there any left-handed game protagonists? Ever?

(Not counting sprite characters that flip hands depending on which way they're facing.)

(Robot protagonists seem to just be Boxy-Part-With-Guns on top of metal chicken-legs.)

How to design a female video game protagonist :

1) Think of a material you would not normally use to make a bikini or skin-tight jumpsuit.

2) Put her in a bikini or skin-tight jumpsuit made of that material.

3) Give her either a bow, or a weird camera.

How to design a male video game protagonist :

1) Make a list of every type of closure you can think of. Buckles, zippers, ties, cords, clasps, etc.

2) Figure out a way to put two of each of those on a single character.

3) Put something weird on his left wrist.

Someone needs to invent a k-cup for sandwiches.

You put a pod in the machine. Pull the handle. ... and somehow a sandwich comes out, fully formed.

Here is a Star Trek action figure.

Without looking it up, can you guess the character?

But finally, on the letters page, Adam Bernard asks the important question.

(Pardon the hacky edit job, the letter spanned a column break.)

I feel like maybe the artist wasn't informed about one of the most defining aspects of Data's character.

Sisko isn't the only Starfleet captain who can lay out Q with a punch!

But then, he suffers the ultimate humiliation!

Michael J. Bickley is back, and on-form as ever!

This is what I read this comics for. This is the good stuff.
