You may have seen a video on the internet recently. As have I!
A comic strip, Vampigeon by Josh Jennings.
Panel 1:
Caption: It’s not all bad, James Somerton fans. Now that you know his formula, you can make an infinite number of his videos using only the power of your imagination
Panel 2:
[A title card, with Stock Footage of cows with color filters and the text "Moo, Britannia by James Somerton."]
Panel 3:
[YouTube Other People's Words Reader James Somerton presents a video.]
James (Encyclopedia Text): Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as mad cow disease, is an incurable and invariably fatal neurodegenerative disease of cattle. Symptoms include abnormal behavior, trouble walking, and weight loss.
Panel 4:
James (Standard Dialogue): Historians theorize that the first Mad Cow was, big surprise, straight and female. These symptoms, the abnormal behavior in particular, mimic what people with vaginas are like all the time.
Panel 5:
James (Standard Dialogue): I don't acknowledge nonbinary masc people or trans men, and, as such, their silence on the issue of Mad Cow…is deafening.
Panel 6:
James (Standard Dialogue): Once, I was walking down the street at night, when a pack of roving vaginas attacked me.
Panel 7:
James (Standard Dialogue): They brandished Mad Cow Burgers, screaming about I needed to kiss a boy in front of them.
Panel 8:
James (Standard Dialogue): I managed to get into my home, but I could still hear the scraping of their claws against the glass. Hear their sickening howls, bragging about how women don't have problems.
Panel 9:
[beat]
Panel 10:
James (Encyclopedia Text): Currently the only reliable test for Mad Cow is examination of tissues during a necropsy citation needed.

Because, yes, Passover is the story of gaining our freedom, but it's also a story of loss.

I blazed one of my husband's comics (the Zelda one I reblogged a little bit ago) in part because Zelda is all timely and shit again,
but mostly because the little "It could be like... HRNNNN...." brain straining thing has become such an important part of my mental shorthand for "my brain is working way too hard on a joke that isn't funny and I don't know how to make it stop."
And I just feel like more people could use that image as a reference point.
...
Anyway go follow @vampigeon he's very funny.

Intro
Hi! A few people have started noticing these being posted, so I thought I'd do a little explainer.
These are indeed old comic strips that used to live on their own website. Unfortunately, neither myself (the writer of WFW) nor the artist have the time or financial ability to manage a website anymore.
This is just an archival thing. There are about 380 total strips, and once they're done, they're done. This isn't, like, a revival type of deal.
If you have any questions about the strip, feel free to ask! I can't guarantee...like, the best answers, as I suffer from a neurological condition that affects, among other things, my memory. But I'll try my best!
Either way, glad people are liking the old strip. Here's where you can find us these days:
Artist: Charlie Dulac — Patreon
Writer: Josh Jennings — Vampigeon (Tumblr / Webtoons)

You know those inspirational "look at this wisdom my kid said" posts? This is indistinguishable from that.
Vampigeon, by Josh Jennings.
[A comic strip. Panel 1: a toddler, BEAR lays on a pouf on the floor, staring up at the ceiling.]
BEAR: Hmm…
[Panel 2: Angle on JOSH, the toddler's dad, who works on a tablet while talking to the kid.]
Josh: Awfully quiet over there. You pondering dep, existential truths?
[Panel 3: The Bear continues to stare at the ceiling.]
[Panel 4: Close up on the toddler.]
BEAR: (softly) pooping.

I'm not saying that this is the sport of the future…
No, really, I'm not. It's a terrible idea. Never do this.
A comic strip. Vampigeon by Josh Jennings. Panel 1: A man in a suit and turtleneck talks to others. Behind him, a baseball statium is visible out a window. MAN: Gentlemen, welcome to the opening game of…Basepoline! My incredible new sport that combines baseball with trampolines.
Panel 2: Closeup of the man. MAN: I know what you're thinking…"The Safety Concerns!" Let me assure you: this game has been meticulously designed, and there is not a single risk unaccounted for.
Panel 3: View of the baseball field. An outfielder waits to catch something. ANNOUNCER: Pop fly out ot left field. Looks like he's ready for it…
Panel 4: A trampoline flies in, hitting the outfielder. OUTFIELDER: OORF!

Did the "Do a strip in two hours from two prompts" challenge from Strip Search again. Today's prompts were "folding chair" and "rotisserie." Admittedly, the folding chair did not feature prominently in the end product, but they're there!
This is less of a Marvel-specific thing and more just…look, don't do marketing and PR work for a company unless they're paying you.
A comic strip.
Vampigeon by Josh Jennings
Panel 1: A man with Mickey Mouse ears, Mr. Marvel, looms above another man, who is currently tied to a folding chair and turned sideways.
MR. MARVEL: Comfy?
CHAIR MAN: Nah. But it's fine. A True Fan never complains!
Panel 2: The view rotates to be upright. The man and chair are tied to the spinny part of a rotisserie. Mr. Marvel walks toward his own folding chair.
MR. MARVEL: Exactly! You devote the one, precious life you have to enriching me, and I give you a tenuous connection to your lost youth.
CHAIR MAN: Pretty good deal!
Panel 3: Mr. Marvel leans in.
MR. MARVEL: Hey. Remember Spider-Man?
CHAIR MAN: Sure do!
Panel 4: Mr. Marvel lights a match and holds it in front of his face with an intense expression.
MR. MARVEL: People didn't make the things you love. We did. The Brand. Your Favorite Brand.
Panel 5: Mr. Marvel leans in again. The first under the Chair Man has started. He begins to sweat.
MR. MARVEL: Remember Paste-Pot Pete?
CHAIR MAN: Less so…
Panel 6: Angle on the Chair Man. The fire roars underneath him. He sweats, his hair and clothes beginning to catch fire.
CHAIR MAN: Um…Mr. Marvel? Not to be ungrateful, but my body is being seared? By the fire?…
Panel 7: Angle on Mr. Marvel, who turns the rotisserie spit.
MR. MARVEL: You know who else's body was covered with fire?…
Panel 8: Zoom in closer on Mr. Marvel's face.
MR. MARVEL: A little fella…by the name of…
Panel 9: Zoom in on Mr. Marvel's smiling mouth.
MR. MARVEL: The Human Torch.
Panel 10: Back on Chair Man. His face wears an expression of glee as his hair is nearly burnt off and his skin begins to melt.
CHAIR MAN: Yeeeeee!!!

Coming in just under the wire is the silly little visual novel I made for the Desert Bus for Hope 2023 Game Jam. It's...a reality dating show? But with various things that can pair with espresso? It's a silly little thing, and you might enjoy it.

What if the brand new Hogwarts Legacy game...was for Gameboy! Obviously, this is pretty early. I haven't even finished the full game :P
But! There are quests and multiple endings! Use the arrow keys or WASD to move, and J or Z to interact. Have fun!

thanks to @garbagexqueer for the tag !!
last song: I can't remember what the last song I intentionally listened to was, but the last thing I heard was Samoa Joe's entrance music.
last movie: I can't remember this either??? Wow I'm trying so hard to remember... okay I think it was My Bloody Valentine 3D. Which was NOT good. House of Wax (the Padalecki remake) was very fun though.
last show: Brooklyn 99
currently watching: the Desert Bus for Hope stream.
currently reading: uh. I have one volume left of Sex Criminals. Otherwise I'm between books at the moment. Because I have a 4-month-old.
favorite color: green, burnt orange, mustard yellow.
sweet/savory/spicy: sweet, but also sweet and spicy
coffee/tea/cocoa: coffee!
craving: community, cuddles, a warm bath, compliments about my appearance, ice cream, cooking for people I love, etc.
