Was he a serial killer? A cannibal?” Panel 4: The Grim Reaper calmly replies: “No. His bathroom floor was very slippery.”

Last week the power went out while we were drawing comics. We continued working in the dark, creating content that literally no one could see – which, based on the moody behavior of the algorithm, felt somehow familiar.

Illuminate our creative process (literally, we need to pay the electric bill) by joining our Patreon. Members get early access to comics, exclusive content, and our eternal gratitude – which admittedly has no cash value, but feels nice.

Portrait photo of lake water thinning its width and coming to a near point up against green grasses. To either side of this spit of water are large deciduous and evergreen trees that surround the reach of water on three sides. Above the trees is a bright blue sky that forms a near inverted triangle behind the trees. The water is a dark green from the reflection of the water and has tan sandy soil on two of the sides.

A Gatekeeper butterfly perched delicately on a cluster of small white flowers.

#Butterfly #Garden #Nature #Insects
#Wildlife #Photo #Photography #NaturePhotography #SilentSunday #StillerSonntag

A vibrant close-up photograph of a Gatekeeper butterfly perched on a cluster of small white flowers. The butterfly is the central subject, positioned slightly to the top right of the frame. It has rich orange-brown wings with darker brown stripes and a prominent black "eyespots" on its upper wing, characteristic of a Gatekeeper butterfly. Its body is also a light brown, and it is actively feeding on the flowers, with its proboscis likely extended into the blossoms (though not clearly visible). The flowers are small, white, and appear to be in bloom, forming dense clusters that the butterfly is interacting with. There are also some darker, possibly dried or developing flower heads visible further down the stem. The background is softly blurred, indicating a shallow depth of field, which helps the butterfly stand out. A garden setting in the UK with hints of green foliage and some sunlight dappling through, creating a bright and natural environment. It's a sunny mid July day with good illumination on the butterfly and flowers. In one corner of the image, there's the photographers name that reads "PAUL JACKSON" in white text on a dark rectangular background.
This is a striking close-up photograph featuring a Gatekeeper butterfly perched delicately on a cluster of small white flowers. The butterfly, the prominent subject of the image, is positioned slightly to the right. It displays the characteristic warm orange-brown coloration of a Gatekeeper, with distinct dark brown markings and a noticeable black "eyespots" on each forewing, often with a white pupil. Its body is also a light brown, and is feeding on the blossoms. The flowers are small and white, blooming in dense clusters that beautifully contrast with the butterfly's wings. Some darker, possibly spent or developing, flower heads are also visible on the stem. A shallow depth of field effectively blurs the background, bringing the butterfly into sharp focus. The sunlit July garden setting in the UK has soft hints of green foliage and bright, natural sunlight, in the background. In one corner of the image, there's the photographers name that reads "PAUL JACKSON" in white text on a dark rectangular background.
