Well, that was odd.

While the kid is guilty of murder I feel a whole lot of sympathy for her taking that way out of the situation.

@crenquis When I first looked at the photo I was thinking it was a parasitic lava in someone’s eye. I was deeply relieved when I finally saw the hedgehog.

Art wise the comparison to Dave Sim in his later years is about right…
12 panels of the same picture for prolonged dialog was normal.

Yeah. Looks like the Hop-Hop Family Tree might need some appendices.

Planet Rock came up in a YouTube playlist tonight; I wasn’t going to seek it out on its own (I started by listening to Egypt, Egypt so I was in the ballpark already).

This is yet another shitty thing on a shitty year.

Sadly, I’m getting used to personal icons* turning out to be like that. 2016 sucks.

*There should be a better word for this. Someone who had a presence in your life through their work. And not even because you looked for their work, but because it was just always there.

Baby Jesus statue in Canada turns heads with artist's 'shocking' restoration

---

I rather like the replacement. It’s very obviously not original, it does not obscure any extant features (the original head was lost), it was crafted with love and devotion (in more than one sense), it’s refreshingly art brut or something - a nice contrast to the rest of the statue. Reminds me of some contemporary ceramics artist whose name escapes me (NOT referring to kintsugi). Also makes me think of Chris Ofili’s much maligned-African Madonnas (the ones with porn and dung - very droll to describe, rather impressive in person).

Gives me hope for WI.
Also, WTF MN – don’t they get taught that in kindergarten?
