With enough rocks he could practically leave no tern unstoned.
I’m having trouble not seeing the farmer as trying to saw off his fingers with the edge of a crescent wrench.
Hopefully you haven’t been listening to Brad’s rumors.
0·6 months agoAccording to Reddit posts where I first saw this linked it’s from 2000. Here’s the artist’s page, didn’t see a date attached to it there unfortunately.
I was mostly referring to the quality being shitty and less-so the content of the edits themselves.
- To start with, it looks like they used a row-resolution base and then possibly tried to AI upscale it (look at animal faces on the “protect kids” wrap and the artist signature/items on the table)
- The pointless circular blur near the collar of the box holder
- The weird clone/stamp action going on with the side of the box - just use a solid box if the goal is efficiency vs quality!
But also leaving the artist’s signature on an edited comic and not mentioning it’s modified feels shitty too. This isn’t a meme or political community so I’d think posting the original is more appropriate anyway.
Original by John Jonik without the shitty edits:
His cowworker definitely knows his shit.
Certainly there would have been methods available even then to either overlay changes (~cels) or exactly reproduce a base image (xerographic). I’m just impressed even using tracing he didn’t just 1:1 reproduce the same scene, tiny variations exist (nose shape, left fist, V-neck shape etc.).
This was aligned against the dog:
Wow, I just noticed he didn’t just change the text but actually redrew everything.

There’s a video by a designer talking about some of the symbolism of Ellie’s journey (Full talk video here – SPOILERS for the film in both).
And also an insightful YouTube comment(!) someone made in response describing their interpretation:
spoiler
"This is one of the most thoughtful and insightful reviews on deeper film meanings I think I’ve ever seen. In keeping with the rebirth symbolism, I would offer the following possibilities.
- The transport pod symbolizes more of a womb, rather than a gas chamber.
- The chair may not be an electric chair but rather a means for Ellie to assume a modified fetal position while in the capsule. This would mimic the position of a baby of in a womb prior to its own birth.
- The wires plugged into Ellie represent an umbilical cord to sustain her, rather than a means to kill her.
- The periodic updates given by the mission control staff as to the status of the machine (10%, 20%, 30%, etc.) mirror the increasing dilation of women in labor (1 cm dilated, 2cm dilated, 3cm dilated, etc.).
- The wormhole sequence mirrors the new life traveling through a birth canal.
- The capsule takes on a liquid form to symbolizes the protective amniotic fluid to keep the new life safe.
- After Ellie’s “birth”, the first person she sees is her father.
- This rebirth scene is enhanced by considering Ellie’s mother died from complications of childbirth when Ellie was born. This backstory enhances Ellie’s natural reluctance to be reborn as her initial birth killed her mother, and permanently altered her life.
There’s undeniably imagery of execution and rebirth simultaneously occurring within the same frames! The filmmakers did an outstanding of capturing some very compelling storytelling while inserting remarkable symbolism."
Just seemed like a needlessly confusing specific detail to include as it is not a necessity to have any wifi connectivity at all and might mislead OP/readers into assuming it has some relevance to ports. It should be sufficient to just say router unless the question involves SSIDs or related components specific to that connection method.
Just to clarify, nothing about ports requires wifi to be involved at all. It doesn’t need to be a wifi router, a network doesn’t have to be connected via wifi.
The Piped bot pisses me off because it doesn’t seem to check if the triggering comment already includes the exact link it’s about to post. I used to preemptively include Piped links with any YouTube ones but since it would trigger the bot anyway I just stopped bothering.
Aside from the clutter it adds, until I added the bot itself to my blocklist (instead of just relying on “Show bots” being unchecked in settings) it would also cause reply notifications that couldn’t be cleared in the default Lemmy web UI.
Is the missing chair leg in panel 3 a meta joke about letting little things bother you?
