FANASCII! PLUS, CRUEL LOVE.
Normally, I am to lazy to put up fan art, no matter how good it is. In fact, if itâs any good at all that just makes it worse. I feel threatened by the fanâs skill, and am forced to do whatever I can to suppress it. This is how we professionals maintain the thin, orange line that separates us from the rogue creatives.
But the art below is just too good not to share. Also, itâs Friday and screw it. Like Iâm going to write something on a Friday! I lean on the newsreaders for content. They are like a crutch for me, in many ways: They offer support, they smell like my armpit, and I canât wait until I donât need them anymore.
Haha! Of course I am just cruel-teasing you, friends. This is how I was raised. This is how my people show love. It might seem like a cold way to communicate, but so is Morse Code. And do you think that no one ever used Morse Code to send a love letter? Well, actually, maybe that never happened, unless I guess one telegraph operator fell in love with another telegraph operator.

And now, some tear-jerking ASCII art from Jan Jacob Mekes:
So good.
And here, this guy Drew Morgan made his own episode of the Double Fine Action Comics!
Scott was sincerely touched by your efforts, Drew. It made him quite emotional, and at the same time, quite unnecessary. Why do I pay him when youâre sending me this stuff for free? Am I right Drew? So heâs fired, youâre hired. Show up at 6am tomorrow. Plan on sleeping here the first night because youâll have a backlog of comics to catch up on. Donât touch the free coffeeâthatâs for regular employees. If you find any change in the couch, itâs mine. Oh, and from now on, your nickname is âDookie la Pud.â Man! I love hiring people!!
Coming Monday: POSSIBLY UNICORNS.
