This week-long arc Peanuts arc ran when the measles vaccination was first developed and widely administered in 1967. GoComics republished it as part of their rerun strips late last year, but it could obviously stand to go around again.
Big slow claps to everyone who made a 50-year-old PSA relevant, good job everyone we’re doing GREAT
Nazi propaganda and Trump propaganda are the same thing. Republicans are too busy licking boots to say anything.

Any tips for anatomy? Or
how do you avoid same face/body syndrome?
- an artist who is being strangled by anatomy studies 🥲
Shapework before details, line of action before shapework. Don’t jump into the details unless you have sound basics first.
For what it’s worth, my shapework is very angular/blocky (diamonds, triangles and squares) as opposed to rounded.
Some things I sort do automatically/without thinking:
- Elbows at waist-level
- Top of ear aligns with top of eyes, bottom with the nose tip
- Mouth on same level as where face curves into jaw
- Side of head is flatter than it is round
- An unclothed arm looks like a chain link.
I can’t give you any secret ingredients outside of drawing a lot of varied people! Young and old! Especially old, there’s actually a lot of character to cheekbones and wrinkles a lot of newbie artists are wary of playing with.
Anatomy studies can be hell, but remember what I said about breaking the details down into shapework. Your brain will be able to comprehend shapes better than it does trying to mentally trace over an image or still life.
For same-face syndrome, break the face down into its shapes (Remember the planes of the main face, side of head and cheekbones), and play with length or width of the separate components. Different types of noses—button, flat, sharp, aquiline, etc—and different types of eyes, among others.
For same-body syndrome, I’d say the same thing, but I’d also encourage you to watch pro-wrestling. I’d actually encourage a LOT of people to watch pro-wrestling for body studies since they do have a larger variety of bodies than standard ‘combat’ sports (as wrestlers don’t necessarily have to be ‘perfect’ specimens to actually be successful in their work) and they’re almost always in dynamic movement. Pro-Wrestling is where I honed my skill in drawing buffer folk! Which you can probably tell since I lost my ability to draw bishonen a LONG time ago.
I implore you to shop second hand. If hunting for treasures in a physical location isn’t your idea of a good time, you can try these online/app based ways to buy second hand (and re-home your unwanted clothes):
Depop
Mercari
Poshmark
ThredUp
eBay
Vinted
The Real Real
There are also browser extensions like Beni that will help you find the same or similar garments on the second hand market when browsing an online retailers website.
And of course, when you do occasionally buy new, use the wealth of online information to vet a brand’s sustainability and workers rights practices.
For the last days I will only post a few references to use for practice as I am so stuffed with hand and feet tutorials for now that I feel like never drawing any of them ever again.
I hope there have been enough different ways and Tipps for everyone to find a fitting one for themselves.
good things will happen 🧿
things that are meant to be will fall into place 🧿
This nothing to do with "efficiency" and everything to do with making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.
Legolas pretty quickly gets in the habit of venting about his travelling companions in Elvish, so long as Gandalf & Aragorn aren’t in earshot they’ll never know right?
Then about a week into their journey like
Legolas: *in Elvish, for approximately the 20th time* ugh fucking hobbits, so annoying
Frodo: *also in Elvish, deadpan* yeah we’re the worst
Legolas:
