I will be thinking about Angrypennies forever

Tumblr post from user kat: i had a dream last night that the entire world used a currency (?) called angrypennies which as the name implies are obtained by experiencing anger. the stronger and more intense your anger was, the more angrypennies you'd gain. an all-consuming rage would earn you more than a slight irritation, etc. so people were always searching for ways to fuel their anger and purposefully keeping themselves angry all the time because they wanted to earn angrypennies. unclear if angrypennies could be exchanged for goods and services, or if they were just a collectible.

anyway, as if this wasn't heavy-handed enough, at one point british comedian greg davies appeared and explained that angrypennies couldn't be worth feeling angry all the time. this was a real revelation to dream-me and i was finally able to break free of the angrypenny grind and allow myself to experience emotions other than anger.

it goes without saying that i will be using the word angrypenny as if it was part of the common vernacular instead of a term that my dreaming brain conjured up i.e. "he's all about the angrypennies" (derogatory way to refer to a guy who searches for reasons to be angry and possibly lacks introspection)

Huge appreciation to Vivian Wilson, and a happy "the dead can't be defamed" to Dropout's legal team!

Vivian Wilson on Dropout's Smartypants, saying "I'm talking about Lindsey Graham here. He's gay."

She is pointing at the camera and saying "You are keeping it as is and I am not adding an 'allegedly.'"

Really a big fan of how Leandro Fernandez is drawing Gotham right now. All that greenery is lovely, but ivy roots are bad for brickwork. She's damaging the city.

Panel from Poison Ivy issue 46. Janet and Juhi are walking through the streets of Gotham. Lots of distinctive ivy leaves are vining up the masonry of nearby buildings.

"And as he drove on, the rainclouds dragged down the sky after him, for, though he did not know it, Rob McKenna was a Rain God. All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him, and to water him."
Quote from So Long And Thanks For All The Fish, by Douglas Adams.

David Hockney! rip. dude took sensational, evocative photographs, and also drew this horse on an ipad. i can't explain what i feel when i see this. it's genuinely brilliant.

a somewhat abstract horse with big goofy teeth. looks almost fingerpainted. he's on a green hill under blue sky but there are red curtains either side - is he a pantomime horse?
