I'm at a :.|:; for words.

This is the funniest thing I've ever read. I would have LOVED to see that

once i beat the depression and the burnout and the anxiety and the loneliness and the exhaustion and the guilt and the awkwardness and the apathy and the low income and the chronic illness and the impatience and the vulnerability and the creative block and the capitalism and the cruelty THEN you'll see

Keeper -- a short comic about an angel meeting a robotic lighthouse keeper that doesn't know the world has already ended. Made in about 18 hours for a 24-hour 24-page* black and white comic challenge (that I arrived late to, ha.)

*the actual submission does not include the cover, which was created after the fact for this post.

This was a really great learning experience as someone who's... never really made a completed comic. I ended up really attached to the story by the end of the project (possibly due to all-nighter deliriousness lol) and ultimately am very proud of what I made.There are some things I'd still like to change, particularly text placement, but in keeping with the spirit of the challenge I've elected to leave it as is.

You have to understand that there is no agreed upon definition of an species and there will never be one unless there's some kind of biological dictatorship. We just know that species exist and they're kind of one of the pilllars of biology, there's even this rather famous book On The Origin of them, but there is no universally agreed up definition of what species are. You'll see papers doing ridiculous stuff like creating ten new species of poorly studied deer on India based on horn lenght and then you'll see frogs that are completely different in colors and size and people ask me "are they different species" and no they aren't. And if you don't believe me, see dogs. Are dogs a separate species from wolves? Haha who knows. Would they be considered different species if all we had was fossil remains. Bet on it.
