I think I randomly came across one of your tracks in a let's play of weird mobile games at about 1:18 in the video. You're gaining popularity!

Snake Pass is free for another day on Humble Bundle:

I came across this while doing research on Dimetrodons, and now I can't get it out of my head:

I'm feeling like an outsider because I'm not sure I quite understand the humour.  It seems to cross an extremely simple joke (the type a four year old would tell) with violence and then distorts everything slightly. Is part of the humour in its shock value?

I don't really get it either. I've seen these type of comics before, but mostly with Donald and "Piderman", where the poor drawing and spelling is half the joke,
but I felt this one went just a bit too overboard with the text errors for my taste, plus the joke on Pluto and Goofy's similar faces doesn't work well when the artist gave them
entirely different face shapes from one another. 

I just came across this:

Just found this:

As it's 75 years WW2 ended today, I just thought I'd share this goofy doodle I made!

Uplay is giving away Assassin's Creed 2, Rayman Legends and Child of Light for free!

Having played all three, you don't want to miss this, especially the latter two are the most beautiful games I've ever played, and both Rayman Legends and Child of Light are two of my all time favorites!

Thanks! Was looking for something to play with my son. Those last two look perfect.

Indeed they are!

Really creative BlondBraid 

Thanks!

And you're right, that artist is awesome!

The faux Dr. Seuss adaptations of Lovecraft are better I think, and they are full books, not just cover art.

Word!

Anyway, here's a quick doodle I made based on a pun:

I've loved all the songs by the Clockwork quartet since ever I first found out about them, but I feel this one is especially topical in these times:

Here's something that grinds my gears.
Very high-pitched devices, used for scaring away cats or sometimes used in shops to "detract" youths.
Because I can hear those things, and they're nauseating!

What do they sound like?

Have you ever heard the high pitched squealing of an old tube television?
Just make it twenty times louder and have it rapidly turn on and off.

How could these not violate noise laws? That's crazy. I hope I never live around anyone with such little consideration for others.

Exactly, plus that's gotta violate age-based discrimination laws.

The Shrek sequels keeps getting weirder.

So... Any programmers wanna comment on it's accuracy?

Python:
Building the horse was easy
But boy is it slow

And I realized just now that they forgot to put Python in the comic!

Well, I didn't expect any such reaction, but if it has to go, let me do my magic and delete it from the thread 

I don't think adding emojis to your replies in this context is the most respectful way of handling it, but I hope all this will be something people can learn from.

I will also try to find out who created the meme and then do my best to ensure they lose all internet access for life. No need to under-react.

See, this is what bothers me, I shared my thoughts because I genuinely suffer from depression as well as being triggered by a reminder of an incredibly frightening experience for me,
and your answers so far have felt like sarcasm and belittling me, and removing the comic felt more like you were worried others would agree with me when they saw it rather than caring for other
people's mantal health. Please just stop, this isn't funny to me, it's been causing me great stress and anxiety, and I want to make clear that this isn't a case of just hurt feelings,
I have literally been diagnosed with depression by a doctor and prescribed a daily dose of anti-depressants just to get through the day.

All I ask is that you try to understand and respect other people when they try to explain why certain things are harmful to them, and believe people when they say they are hurt.

I don't want to derail this thread, and I wish it could all just go back to being funny pictures that didn't treat very real fears as a cheap punchline, so please, stop trying to keep
this going, stop trying to make silly replies when I have been trying to explain something incredibly painful that's caused me great stress to share, just drop this and
let this thread go back to the funny pictures it's supposed to be about.

I think you confuse Jack's post with the first comic KyriakosCH posted, and I agree with what you say on Jack's post.

...you're absolutely right, I'm sorry. I literally hadn't even seen that one because I started reading from the most recent message upwards, and stopped when I got to Jack's message, thinking that was what you were talking about. And I agree completely, that one is just gross and not even funny. It's absolutely awful that you went through something like that and I wish more people would understand just how terrifying it can be to find yourself in a situation in which not even "calling the cops" will help you.

Thanks, I'm glad and relieved to know I'm not the only one who feel that way about that comic.

I didn't identify that as the joke... I mean, if so, the panel with real forms wouldn't make sense
I think the joke is more that "doomers" tend to project stuff both ways. Searching I found that other "goth girl" memes indeed have the bad joke you mention, but this one isn't imo really about that.

Maybe it's not the explicit message of the comic, but it sets up a pretty damn clear pattern of whenever the ugly man says hi= she's calling the cops, but she doesn't when he's not depicted as ugly.
Then there's also the matter of using a scenario of a woman calling the cops because a man creeps her out as the punchline. I can tell you, having to call the police in real life was anything but a joke to me.

Before getting defensive, I hope you'll bear in mind that I do not write this lightly and it's been hard for me to share all this.
