Heribert and I are both a bit overwhelmed by the awesome reactions and comments we received to yesterdays little comic.

Didn't expect that to some random brain dump of me. Thanks to all! Heribert wanted to say thanks too!

#art #mastoart #comic #fountainpen

A small open sketchbook with fountain pen next to it. (It's a Kaweco Sport in turquoise) The comic on the page shows: Image 1: a little dragon that is hiding his face with his arms. Text: Heribert is a little overwhelmed by the feedback. Image 2: the little dragon waves his arms and smiles. Text: But he still wanted to say hi! Image 3: The liddle dragon smiles and holds up a drawing, childlike with a heart and stars that says thanks in big letters. Text: Heribert made a drawing - just for you! and another heart drawn. The comic is just line and ink, no color, but looks adorable and very simple.
#art #mastoart #Comic #fountainpen

My brain woke me up with a little story of the dragon Heribert, who is very much in love with his art supplies and loves to draw. But sadly humans are a bit afraid...

Inked with fountain pen, because... why not?

Have a creative day and use your hoards little precious creative dragons!

#art #mastoart #comic #fountainpen

A little comic in a little sketchbook with a turquoise fountain pen on the right. The ink used is turquoise. First image shows a dragon who waves friendly at people, who run away in fear. Text says: This is Heribert the dragon, who tries to be friendly. Second image: Little dragon lies on grass drawing flowers on a piece of paper. Text says: He just loves to draw. Third image: A curled up dragon sleeps on his hoard of papers, artworks, pens and pencils. Text says: That's why his precious hoard are art supplies and paintings.

The image is a four-panel comic strip featuring a character with short hair and a headset. In the first panel, the character stands with hands on hips, smiling and saying, "Wow I got a lot done today!" In the second panel, the character is still smiling, with arms crossed, and says, "I made it through work, made a comic, and posted a stream clip." The third panel shows the character with a neutral expression, looking to the side, with no text. The final panel depicts the character with a concerned expression, saying, "Suddenly I feel like a failure." The comic strip is drawn in a simple, black-and-white line art style, with the character's emotions changing from confident to uncertain. The artist's signature, "[@]BioJason," is visible in the bottom right corner of the last panel.

#cartoon #comic #politics #uspol #media #journalism #election #authoritarianism

EXPERTS EXPLAIN WHY AMERICA VOTED FOR PLAGUE A SERIOUS OF PUNDITS DEPICTED IN ADVANCING STAGES OF THE BUBONIC PLAGUE: DEMS DIDN'T OFFER MUCH OF A VISION EXCEPT "NOT PLAGUE." PEOPLE ARE SO DISILLUSIONED WITH THE STATUS QUO, THEY'RE WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE ON CERTAIN DEATH. * KOFF* IF THE LEFT HADN'T INSULTED NECROTIC BUBOES ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AMERICANS WOULDN'T HAVE EMBRACED PLAGUISM. MOST VOTERS JUST WANT A BRUTAL MASS MORTALITY EVENT THAT WILL BRING DOWN THE PRICE OF EGGS. 17TH CENTURY PLAGUE DOCTOR WEARING BIRD BEAK MASK APPROACHING IN BACKGROUND
