Missing my audience in two important ways
Those of you (which is most of you, I suspect) who don’t play a certain kind of computer game will not recognize a character creation screen. This is how you build a persona in games. Maximizing your sliders is never a good idea.
And those of you not on Twitter (which is most of you, I suspect) may not recognize Emily Kohrs, the grand jury foreman from Georgia who decided to go hard for her fifteen minutes of fame. This is the grand jury that heard the proposed election interference case against Trump. No decision on indictments yet, and she’s inadvertently handing big fat wins to any potential defense.
Seriously, watch this clip and tell me this chick is all there. Foreman, huh?

It’s been a day, hasn’t it?
Man, can you imagine the world of shit that poor Pfizer ex-exec is in today? For posterity.

Police brutality
All I could think of when I saw St Greta laughing with the police before (or was it after?) her staged arrest today.
Not one of my better P’shops, but I’m kinda rusty.

Go home, Joe Biden. You’re senile.
Eh. I’m trying to kick my art muscles loose. They’re mighty damn rusty.
Good weekend, everyone!

Artist’s reconstruction
I didn’t watch the SOTU, but I watched the MSM coverage and I’m pretty sure this is exactly how it went down. (Actually, I played around with Hitler tattoos and popping the heads off baby bunnies but in the end, I wasn’t feeling it).
Actually, I’ve been very gratified at the reactions I’ve read. Not the MSM, obviously — real people. And ones not normally inclined to approve of Trump.

State of the Union 2018
I didn’t watch the SOTU. I never do. My spleen won’t take it, no matter who’s in office.
I caught the pictures of Nancy’s face, though — holy shit! Who was THAT performance supposed to appeal to?
p.s. Wow, just noticed how overcontrasty this picture is. I think my new toy needs a bit of adjustment.

Nah. Probably not.
Y’all know it’s not going to be like this, right? They’re going to break our hearts. They always do.
They’re going to release the memo, and it’s going to be a big, fluffy nothingburger and fries and all the cool kids will laugh at us. Again.
Please, events — prove me wrong!

I am now officially cooler than all y’all
Oh my god, you guys — I have wanted one of these since…since it was invented. That’s maybe 20 years ago now. It’s a monitor, but you draw directly on it.
Maybe that doesn’t sound all that keen, but it solves the big problem with computer tablet: you can look at your hand, or you can look at the monitor, but you can’t look at both at once. That makes it extremely hard to draw. Or write legibly.
As with other tablets, the main brand is Wacom and their monitor version is the Cintiq. And that sucker, in its 20″ form, is almost £2,000.
Enter the Chinese. I’ve bought a cheap knockoff — for all I know, made in the same factory as the Cintiq — for less than a quarter of the price. And it came with a snazzy glove. Well, part of one.
It came this morning. I was going to use it as a second monitor, but I’m awfully tempted to use it as my only monitor. It is Just That Good.
My main concern is going blind. No, really…I’m sitting with my nose practically pressed against the screen. And I’m loving it. My optomowotsit told me that my eyes weren’t deteriorating, they were just…stuck in the peasant lace-makers position from all the close work I do.
p.s. That is not my computer. It is not my hand. I stole them from here, and added my chicken. Because that’s the kind of thing you can do really fast WHEN YOU HAVE AN AWESOME MONITOR TABLET!!!

Now, this is getting out of hand…
The search term I used on Google images was “franken grope” — I knew that would call the one I wanted up, and it did.
If anyone needs it, I think I kept the exploitable pieces. That is, a cutout of Al that can be plastered to any tits you choose.

I wish I’d thought of this…
New Jersey graphic artist Michal Krauthamer ‘shops The Donald’s face onto various Queens of England. It works shockingly well. (I found them in this Anorak article, which includes my favorite examples).
It helps the joke that they’re good clean Photoshops, but then I would say that.
I once did a comic P’shop of Her Maj. Once. A commenter I’d never seen before (or since) turned up and posted with menace “Do not. Photoshop. The Queen.”
I’ll be honest, fam, I was skeert.
