Love This, It Reminds Me Of 'Over The Garden Wall'.

Still hilarious; even more so it comic form!

PHEW, it’s finally done! I debuted it at the CR weekend to the cast, but now that I’m back and it went up on the Patreon, I can share it here! I’ve been working on it in my spare time (of which there is SO LITTLE), but this moment was so good, I just had to ^_^

Enjoy!

Simply fascinating 🧐👌

Very interesting, I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Something I find incredibly cool is that they’ve found neandertal bone tools made from polished rib bones, and they couldn’t figure out what they were for for the life of them. 

Until, of course, they showed it to a traditional leatherworker and she took one look at it and said “Oh yeah sure that’s a leather burnisher, you use it to close the pores of leather and work oil into the hide to make it waterproof. Mine looks just the same.” 

“Wait you’re still using the exact same fucking thing 50,000 years later???”

“Well, yeah. We’ve tried other things. Metal scratches up and damages the hide. Wood splinters and wears out. Bone lasts forever and gives the best polish. There are new, cheaper plastic ones, but they crack and break after a couple years. A bone polisher is nearly indestructible, and only gets better with age. The more you use a bone polisher the better it works.”

It’s just. 

50,000 years. 50,000. And over that huge arc of time, we’ve been quietly using the exact same thing, unchanged, because we simply haven’t found anything better to do the job.

To buy him some shoes, 

But when she came back

He was reading the news.”

100% True

Cool pics, but it is clearly fabric in each one.

Ectoplasm. Ectoplasm denotes a substance or spiritual energy “exteriorized” by physical mediums. Ectoplasm is said to be associated with the formation of spirits, and is to be formed by physical mediums when in a trance state. This material is excreted as a gauze-like substance from orifices on the medium’s body and spiritual entities are said to drape this substance over their nonphysical body, enabling them to interact in the physical and real universe. Some accounts claim that ectoplasm begins clear and almost invisible, but darkens and becomes visible, as the psychic energy becomes stronger. Still other accounts state that in extreme cases ectoplasm will develop a strong odor. According to some mediums, the ectoplasm can not occur in light conditions as the ectoplasmic substance would disintegrate. Ectoplasm is considered to be a hoax, made from cheesecloth, gauze or other natural substances.

This is beautiful and very narrative inspiring.
