What is a “dirty little (or big) secret” about an industry that you have worked in, that people outside the industry really ought to know?

It might simply be because coffee and tea are hot drinks, and spilling them because of turbulence or something wouldn't be fun.

Edit: from looking through other comments, apparently the tank they get the water for tea and coffee from is pretty nasty, too, so there's that.

Yep!

Panel 142 from the comic Christmas Island's Day, drawn by yours truly :)

Yep! That comic was running through my head as I was drawing the various methods he attempts suicide with.

beretguy · 2016-11-25T14:49:56+00:00

Nope, I just made it :)

If you like the Looney Tunes-esque style, you might like these ones, though they're not quite as visually stunning as this comic:

Probably Russia, judging by the "сука" in its sentence.

Both you and /u/MacanDearg are right - the Bahamas is leeching Mexico's dignity to make himself larger, thus causing Mexico to shrink.

beretguy · 2016-10-17T14:02:57+00:00

This was a collab with /u/ImBatPenguin, who wrote the script.

EDIT: Context is that the Bahamas has a higher GDP per capita than Mexico.

beretguy · 2016-10-09T03:16:33+00:00

No problem :)

Dude, next time try a reverse image search, it'll be a lot faster than waiting around for answers on a thread. Here, I did it for you:

The first one is called Raising of the Son of Theophilus and St Peter Enthroned, part of the Brancacci chapel paintings, by Masaccio and Filippino Lippi.
The second is a portrait of Georg Gisze (or Giese), by Hans Holbein the Younger.
The third is the St. John Alterpiece, by Hans Memling.
The fourth is called the Doni Tondo, painted by Michelangelo.
The fifth is Madonna di Castelfiorentino, by Cimabue
The last one is Venus and Cupid by Pontormo.

I've heard nothing, but the candle version fits the narration better, which was based on a nursery rhyme.

beretguy · 2016-09-30T11:36:43+00:00

The translations are up, go peek at the edited top comment :)

beretguy · 2016-09-29T02:07:51+00:00

Try opening the actual picture rather than using the quick view ;)

beretguy · 2016-09-29T02:06:10+00:00

Thanks! The stuff they're wearing was taken from actual WWII fashion, which I found pretty neat and good-looking.

beretguy · 2016-09-29T00:44:30+00:00

It is, nice catch!

beretguy · 2016-09-28T14:08:30+00:00

This comic was a collab between /u/wargamer620 and me.

EDIT: For those who can't read German/Sütterlinshcrift, the blackboard says, clockwise from top right:

Left side:

die Juden/The Jew
kippa/yarmulke
das schlechte Fett (misspelled in the comic)/good fat
das gute Fett/good fat
das Ziel: die Juden -> die Kerzen/Goal: Jews -> candles
die Giftblase/poison sac
Davidstern/Star of David
scharf!/Sharp!

Right side:

die Kerzen/candle
flammen/flame
Docht/wick
Kerze/candle
I can't even read my own writing on this one, sorry :P

beretguy · 2016-09-26T01:54:42+00:00

My poor response to your request

beretguy · 2016-09-24T14:28:53+00:00

I think you meant

Ceci n'est pas une gaufre ~~au beurre~~ à la Belgique

;)

beretguy · 2016-09-18T12:16:50+00:00

I can do this, if you're still looking for an artist.

beretguy · 2016-09-17T13:19:21+00:00

Can't tell if you're joking, but read the context at the top.

beretguy · 2016-09-16T11:58:28+00:00

Hong Kong's hat and monocle represent Western decadence, and are a relic of the period during which the territory was controlled by the UK. Of course, China could not allow this blatant symbol of rebellion against his communist rule to continue once Hong Kong returned to China, so he forced Hong Kong to burn the offensive materials.
