Post Your Best Stickman


LizEF

Recommended Posts

When I'm reading forum posts, a word or phrase will trigger a "literal" reaction in my brain...  For example, at some point, someone must have said something about having "a thirsty fountain pen" which triggered this:

I have several of these sorts of doodles.  I'm thinking maybe other folks do, too, and I'd love to see them.  So please, post your stick-drawings, whether in response to a word / phrase, making up your own funny, or whatever. :)

Does this qualify?

 

Attempting a PR deadlift during the weekend. I had hurt my back when I had tried the same weight in April. Scared. Anxious. Excited.

:D Perfect!  You did a really good job on his expression.

Here's another example, the result of reading "flippant" (or possibly the misspelled "flipant" - can't remember):

Not best, but latest. I was musing about The Lord of The Rings, and realized that the inscription in the One Ring must have been written with a BIC:

Done with a Montblanc Slimline with an F nib and a Kuretake red lacquer fude (brush) fountain pen in the spur of a moment.

If you are to be ephemeral, leave a good scent.

Note added: which, obviously, just comes to show how evil and ill-advised Sauron was :D

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Alternative literal interpretation, triggered by someone asking how a part of a pen feels:

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

Apparently we need to have a Zoom stickman drawing class.  Maybe we can get @Tas to teach it.  Later, @Andrew_L can do an "Advanced Stickmanery" session... :D 😇

 

Here's another - someone mentioned "carbon dating":

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
