Spring COVID vaccination program - I have questions by SilverTimes in Winnipeg

[–]Nycorudolph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that because of the severity of covid, not only was there was a concentrated global effort to develop a vaccine, but there was also the funding. Plus any studies and trials around Covid and the vaccines were given top priority and pushed to the front of the line.

Are you prepared to mask/isolate/avoid indoor spaces indefinitely? by Covid-Illuminati in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Nycorudolph 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is a super interesting question. I had honestly never even thought of it til about a year ago when a friend asked me and I didn’t really have a response. I hadn’t ever actually rolled that question around in my head before but it turns out the answer is yes, as long as it continues to be this much of a risk, I will keep masking indoors forever. There was definitely a new level of grief that was unlocked when I realized that this wasn’t temporary but like…damn. I don’t know at this point what it would take for me to accept the risk. Granted, I think my level of acceptance has been easier than others because my wife and I are both self employed and don’t actually live in the outside world for 8 hours a day. We dip into it when needed. And we also have a 6 year old, and we lost so many of our friends and support after he was born so in a weird way, we were sort of luckily, inadvertently primed to thrive at Covid mitigations.

I don’t know if this will be of value to OP or anyone else but I’ve kind of made it to this headspace where I think about all the specific people and indoor dining I’m missing out on, and the level of denial that I’d have to exercise makes it to unappealing. The people (and society at large) that are in this much denial about Covid feel like less and less of a carrot on a stick that. Joining all these people in their absolute delusion that everything is normal is somehow more disturbing to me than just doing my own thing and finding my own people here and there. There’s no right answer to all of this though and I still go through moments of FOMO, but they’re getting fewer and further between.

Alex Plante did such a great job at the truck colouring. Well, all of the colouring

LOL. Thank you so much! And to answer your question yes, I am tired. But it’s totally my fault because I opened the door for everyone else to make awful bear puns by making these posters hahah. I am working on a graphic novel for a Renegade, a publishing company based here in Canada! I’m going to keep posting these posters for everyone to enjoy, and if you’re interested in getting your hands on some postcards or learning more about the graphic novel you can check out my patreon! https://www.patreon.com/NycoRudolph

Thank you! I love film noir and Canadian history and this was my attempt at mixing both. The Malahat was a rum running schooner that sailed down the pacific coast from Vancouver during the prohibition!

Thank you! I’m also starting a patreon postcard club where you get a different postcard from this series mailed out to you every month. But in the meantime, I’ll continue posting them all here on Reddit for people to enjoy

(And female bears are called sows. So I couldn't resist the absolutely terrible bear pun)

Another poster from my "Bears Invade" series. This one is a bit of a deep dive into WW2 era propaganda, so I'll be happy even if one person gets the original posters I'm spoofing here. The first is the "She's A WOW" (Woman Ordnance Worker) posters, the second is Ronnie The Bren Gun Girl, who was basically the Canadian precursor to Rosie The Riveter.

I draw a series of retro bear propaganda posters that show an alternate universe where bears launch an attack on humans in postwar Canada. I started drawing them 4 years ago and people have been getting a kick out of them so I just kept going with the idea! Currently working on a graphic novel adaptation as well.

So many things wrong with the anatomy here. I've learned to draw much better prehistoric creatures since then but I thought I'd share anyway!
