New to the Lane Collection: a canine Canadian-American bureaucrat, singing G&S.

This is me experimenting with Tweeting photos and whatnot and seeing how they show up elsewhere:

…but it’s also a very nice bit of original art from Skin Horse which I absolutely decided needed to be up on my wall because The Policeman’s Song is the best Gilbert & Sullivan ever.

Ever ever EVER.

QotD, Yes, You Really Should Be Reading The Skin Horse Webcomic Already* edition.

Shaenon Garrity, talking about her contributions to her artists’ collective’s recent anthology (called SPIRITS) that I just bought and you should, too:

In addition to the Narbonic[**] story, I also did a feature where I illustrated selections from my personal wine log.  It’s super classy, or would be if my wine log wasn’t written in Sharpie while I was drunk.  You can order SPIRITS now at the Couscous Store.

I find this entertaining because it never would have occurred to me that wine logs would be written when sober.  I mean, doesn’t that mean that you’re doing it wrong?

*Because it is well worth it.  How can you not appreciate something like this or this?  Or especially this.

**Narbonic: a now-completed webcomic. Theme: Mad Science meets True Love. Mutations ensue.

I did *not* want to see this.

Avoiding Champions Online is hard enough: being told that you can make your own steampunk metal man as a character just makes it excruciating.

PS: Because I enjoy being married and having a family, that’s why.

PPS: Skin Horse is a fun webcomic.  And it’s a Velveteen Rabbit reference, so get your mind out of the gutter.

“You *will* recognize the Genetically-Engineered Super Battle Dog as a registrable breed!”

Quote of the day, from the webcomic Skin Horse. Because being able to rant things like that to the American Kennel Club is what being a Mad Scientist is all about.

PS: Theo Gray’s Mad Science: Experiments You Can Do At Home – But Probably Shouldn’t.  For no other reason besides it having a slightly better cover than Backyard Ballistics: Build Potato Cannons, Paper Match Rockets, Cincinnati Fire Kites, Tennis Ball Mortars, and More Dynamite Devices.
