If I click it, it picks up at a point a few minutes before the end. Even if I then watch it to the end again, it will keep showing up as incomplete in my watch history. Why should I care? I shouldn't! But I do. Because the truth MATTERS dammit! I watched that whole goddamn video, you goddamn liar!

Thing that shouldn't bother me but does: When YouTube thinks I didn't finish a video even though I did. I watch the entire video all the way to the end. Video pops up again in my recommendations or is listed on my subscriptions page and there's a red line that doesn't go all the way to the end.

MASH was full of historical inaccuracies, but Radar having an issue of THE AVENGERS a full fifteen years too early really set off my Comic Book Guy tendencies.

Mon-El and Shadow Lass from the classic Legion of Super-heroes. Watercolor. Private commission.

Shadow Lass, a beautiful girl with blue skin and black hair. She is wearing a black, bikini like costume with boots and a black cloak. Mon-El is handsome and youthful. He is wearing a red costume with dark blue boots and a blue cloak. There is a yellow sun behind them. They are happy and appear to be dancing in the sky.

Poohbear? Noooo! ... Not Poohbear? Carry on, then.

This is reminiscent of a webcomic with Pooh going crazy and murdering Christopher Robin from the early days of the Web. @opendoor-comics.com

Seriously, what the hell was that ? Just way too much dialogue, and was the whole "Wow, everyone who loves comics also loves basketball" some kind of wishcasting on the writer's part? And despite being set during Halloween the story - to the extent it existed - had nothing to do with Halloween.

Not the point, but they're all the type of idiot who thinks that the number indicates the *intensity* of the World War.

Short Box: Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees – Halloween Special

Admittedly, me ranting about a ten-page Superboy Prime story that featured two pages of action and eight pages of talking about Prime's feelings and a fictional basketball team would have been much scarier. But this was the better choice.

listen i won’t shed a single tear for kim or any of the women who work for trump, but it remains interesting that only the women in his orbit suffer consequences for being pieces of shit

Anyway, for the actual drawing part, I used this reference image from @theposearchives.bsky.social

Some of the major contenders at the time were Metallica, Queensryche, Suicidal Tendencies, Danzig, and Ozzy on his own.

There were plenty of others that I loved at 18, but since I was 15 there's really only ever been Sabbath.

Managed to do some okay flatting. (Don't ask me how long it took or how many times I said, "FUCK!" while doing it.) Time will tell if I actually bother doing the real color work and finish the picture, but it's not like any of you are waiting with bated breath anyway.
