Fear is the little-death
Status Updates:
Here we are again and I am full of both filtered coffee and unfiltered sarcasm. You should all be happy that my knee is falling apart or I’d be chasing people down to tell them about the cool rock I just found. If you want a photo of my pet rock comment below.
So… updates. This has been a busy week for Grunkle Scott. I attended a most excellent 5th grade choir concert. I highly recommend you go watch young kids sing on stage before some bastard tells them to stand still. Kids know that when you are lucky enough to feel the music your head and arms just do things all on their own. Don’t try to stop this. Let weird kids be weird.
Speaking of weird kids.
Cursive
Is the problem that we can't read it or that people can't write it clearly? I’m in favor of teaching cursive but I also think we ask too much of elementary education. I’d be interested in hearing from people working in the field. My kids have been out of school for years so a lot has likely changed.
Great Plan
Are we still in charge or did the computers win? I’m getting the push at work to use AI more for things like documentation and reporting. Probably good uses but also the kinds of jobs we used to hand to the Jr. Admin so they could learn the role. Seems like we’re burning that training bridge.
Friday’s comic - End of Days
You know you wanted a road warrior car battle future. Unless you’re a water world fan and then you’re just weird. I am a sucker for a good end of society movie.

This weeks sample of sketches.

This guy might be my favorite of the week.
This guy is really fun and may also be my favorite.
I like this one but it also makes me mad because.. SERIOUSLY.. F’ THAT GUY
What I'm Reading/Doing:
I’ve been building things recently (Bookshelves, woodcarvings, boxes) and it’s put me behind on comics so I’ll be drawing some stuff on Sunday. If I remember I’ll turn on the screen capture and get a video for you guys.
Luv the apocalypse one. Like a lot of folks, I too thought the future would be like George Jetson's one - flying cars, domed cities, and work weeks where little work was actually done, yet we still got fat paychecks for it. Yet here we are, and it's more like George Grosz's one.
