Barefoot Gen introduction by author Keiji Nakazawa, from the 2004 English edition.
BEST FRIENDS WEAR EACH OTHER ON THEIR FEET.
HAH! When I was working on character/prop design on Arthur, the script just said that Buster showed up in his pajamas. But since it struck me that Arthur’s pajama design included bunny slippers… and his best friend was a bunny, it seemed fitting to include Aardvark slippers on Buster’s pajama design.
Apparently the storyboard artist was amused and he featured the slippers in a closeup! I was so proud!
ilove not letting cars gofirst when i cross thestreet like yesi'm have the right ofway, i'ma pedhead, a walkster, a socialburden, a slowbie, &i'm proud too . Go blowup in your little toys or whatever
adobe is actively pushing to make art styles intellectual property covered under copyright law and artists online are doing shit like this
you guys are all so fucked like you dont even understand what youre doing do you seriously think this is in your favour for the love of god hello am i alone in this world. youre leading yourself to the slaughter
Also, if your problem is AI art: Adobe is also making an ai art generator
Adobe does not want to ban AI art. They want it to only exist in the hands of wealthy copyright holders. They want art styles to be copyrighted for the same reason: so they can make money from owning other people’s work. So they can sue you for drawing something too similar to an art style they own
Adobe is not your friend. Expanding copyright law is far more dangerous for artists than AI will ever be

hey, can we talk for a second? it’s about your girlfriend. yeah, she’s great. no, yeah, I agree. It’s just that… she seems really devoted to you? Like really devoted. Almost as if you were the sole, fragile line mooring her to the shores of humanity. No, that’s not romant—ugh. Listen. Me and the girls, we’re worried you might be the last good thing to happen to her and that were some tragedy to inevitably befall you, she would tear the gods from their thrones and dye the infinite western seas wine-dark with their ichor. Do you think you could introduce her to a new hobby or something? we don’t want to have to argue over what color “wine-dark” is supposed to be
