You might need to add an "all of the above" option. ;)  Excellent drawings, BTW!

Every time I see a notification that there is something new in this topic, I start smiling. I know that there is going to be something creative, thought-provoking, clever, and fun coming when I click on the link.

:) There can't be too much light-hearted fun in the world, or too much creativity, hence this thread. Glad it's doing its job.

My favorite part of this one is the "family photo" on the wall. Hilarious!

I hadn't even noticed that until you pointed it out!
I thought the cartoon was hilarious (once I read the quote it was it was based on, that is) but had to explain it to the philistine (er, darling husband)....

But the wording of the question does not preclude selecting multiple objects shown. ;)

 

Oh, and thanks!

 

Now, back to stick figures… sorta:

The importance of ligatures

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.

I've been trying to figure out how to draw this,

 

My first thought was to draw it from the enforcer's narrative (I was thinking about the scene in the car near the very end of Mario Puzo's The Godfather), perhaps while coaching a mafioso-in-training on the selection of the instrument or technique in application; but then it'd probably get my drawing deleted as being inappropriate.

Is Kaweco mad at Moonman?

 

Aside: Lesson learnt — don't try to colour with Pennonia Zöldike, even if writing with that ink comes out a bit feint to be sufficiently legible.

You all are making my poor little stickmen look kinda pathetic, but here's another pair anyway...

This thread just gets better and better!  I was giggling at the Moonman vs. Kaweco one, and laughed out loud at the ligature one!

Well, this one does indeed. 😄  The stickman, that is, not the drawing; although it took me a while to conclude he wasn't being simultaneously hanged (given I still had ligatures on my mind) and sitting on the pointy tip of something triangular, as some form of torture!

Today, I'll practice being more minimalist in my approach. It's actually quite difficult to try to deliberately shed all the superfluous detail, but keeping the core elements recognisable!

Pens and other products aimed at men and women separately are NOT inherently bad.

:lol: Yeah, 3D room for a 2D stickman creates visual confusion. :)

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
