@alexwi Well done! :thumbup:

 

I was going to draw that topic myself, although the pelican's predicament would be different. Given the The Pelikan's Perch article mentioned the purported short supply of raw materials, I was going to have the pelican looking at a largely dried up environment with few fish left to eat, and about to eject a brick with accompanying internal grumbling.

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.

Thank you!

 

Now, to answer your comment, your artistic abilities, as we have all seen and enjoyed, are clearly sufficient to make a stick figure of such depth. Me? I'll "stick" to simpler forms.

Now that just makes me think of a poor pelikan getting a reaming from a swallow.

Nice ... can also count as one "sucky thing" from your day ... just need two more :)

:lol:  (But I'm going to count it as a good thing from my day, and not go looking for ills - they make themselves obvious enough without me trying to focus on them. :) )

I don't know which is more depressing - that I remember those, or that it took me a moment to realize I remember those... :)

I remember this one. It was posted outside a lecture hall. We had a professor of pathology who had this effect.

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

And from a thread today:

PS: That was Robert Oster Bronze, but obviously the lighting + camera turned it into some other color. :( I made no effort to correct it.  Murky greens are disliked by every digitization process I know.  (Maruman Mnemosyne paper, Kaweco Sport, f)

      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
