A Smug Dill Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 @alexwi Well done! 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. /\|e>< ---------------------------------------------------------We use our phones more than our pens..... and the world is a worse place for it. - markh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank C Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I remember this one. It was posted outside a lecture hall. We had a professor of pathology who had this effect. "One can not waste time worrying about small minds . . . If we were normal, we'd still be using free ball point pens." —Bo Bo Olson "I already own more ink than a rational person can use in a lifetime." —Waski_the_Squirrel I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

I made no effort to correct it. Murky greens are disliked by every digitization process I know. (Maruman Mnemosyne paper, Kaweco Sport, f) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
