Sometimes I love my hood.

The kids finally made me watch the #KangarooChronicles movie today and I‘m happy to report that German mainstream audiences now know the good gals and guys use #Tor and go to #CryptoParty|s.
Currently drawing another #silhouette-style #fairytale chapter.
I actually cheated and skipped a more complicated chapter for this easier one - lots of stress and people to take care of these days, and I worried the #comics pages would otherwise peter out entirely…

and when she sighs – somewhere in Central Park
where my immense bronze statue looms – “Oh, Clark …
Isn’t he wonderful!?!”, I stare ahead
and long to be a normal guy instead.

at eight, he’d ruin the longest railway line
by playing trains with real ones; and at nine,
release all my old enemies from jail,
and then I’d try to break his head – and fail.
So this is why, no matter where I fly,
red-cloaked, blue-hosed, across the yellow sky,
I feel no thrill in chasing thugs and thieves –
and gloomily broad-shouldered Kent retrieves
his coat and trousers from the garbage can
and tucks away the cloak of Superman;

But even if that blast of love should spare
her fragile frame – what children would she bear?
What monstrous babe, knocking the surgeon down,
would waddle out into the awestruck town?
When two years old he’d break the strongest chairs,
fall through the floor and terrorize the stairs;
at four, he’d dive into a well; at five,
explore a roaring furnace – and survive;
...

I’m young and bursting with prodigious sap,
and I’m in love like any healthy chap –
and I must throttle my dynamic heart
for marriage would be murder on my part,
an earthquake, wrecking on the night of nights
a woman’s life, some palmtrees, all the lights,
the big hotel, a smaller one next door
and half a dozen army trucks – or more.

the heavy jaw; for I shall tell you now
my fatal limitation … not the pact
between the worlds of Fantasy and Fact
which makes me shun such an attractive spot
as Berchtesgaden, say; and also not
that little business of my draft; but worse:
a tragic misadjustment and a curse.

The Man of To-morrow’s Lament
(1942)
I have to wear these glasses – otherwise,
when I caress her with my super-eyes,
her lungs and liver are too plainly seen
throbbing, like deep-sea creatures, in between
dim bones. Oh, I am sick of loitering here,
a banished trunk (like my namesake in “Lear”),
but when I switch to tights, still less I prize
my splendid torso, my tremendous thighs,
the dark-blue forelock on my narrow brow,
...
Present from a daughter to her cis-male dad on #InternationalWomensDay, cherishing the empathetic, caring, and glamorous „woman“ inside.
Just wow 😊
If Damon Lindelof had become a tile layer.

Session messenger / lewd /sexism
To all who thought that the alt-right #Session messenger is just a neutral piece of software without repercussions for your personal life, think again!
The #LokiProject just unrolled its latest feature: digital conversion therapy!
Yes, fellow fags and fairies*, just use #Session and finally become that hero-jawed, cishet, “totally alpha” bully, right out of a closeted right-winger’s wet fever dream 🤮️
Stumbled upon this #sticker motif I did ages ago for Berlin’s great comic shop #ModernGraphics.
IIRC the only requirement was: “Draw a figure that reads something”.
The lines are a bit clunky, but I still like this surreal idea of some sort of #Chaplin-esque mining bot “reading” an ancient laptop – a tip of the hat to #ModernTimes ⚙️
Please support your local comic shops in this time of crisis, especially those like MG, which always supported local artists!
Wonder Woman 1984 spoilers
Still can't get over the fact that there is absolutely *no* connection to Orwell's #1984 in #WonderWoman1984.
(Granted, she whips two CCTV cameras to shreds in the early mall scene, but she lassoes a lot of stuff before and after.)
Why would you cite such an iconic year when it could just as well have been 1983 or '87?
Mind-boggling 
Pristine winter landscape, drawn with black, white and red ink and some white acrylic snow. ❄️
The main news about #ChrisPratt heavily trending on Twitter this weekend was *not* that #Marvel #Comics revealed his #MCU signature role #Starlord to be #bisexual/#pan, nor that people were now wondering how the actor, who used to frequent an anti-LGBTQIA* church, would react.
The scandal is that #Twitter silenced these queer voices and deliberately twisted the facts to:
“Chris Pratt is trending because he had a nice birthday tribute to his lovely wifey”. 🤮
