Fun, beautiful
Maybe the other way around. Dance, dance! I don’t know a lot of Dua Lipa’s work, but I really, really like the work that I’ve seen and heard of hers. She’s quite talented, and has a neat attitude, too-
This is accurate, and I haven’t swept the floor today, either.

Cover Snark: A Possible Bathroom Emergency
by Amanda · Nov 25, 2024 at 4:00 am · View all 18 comments
Welcome back to Cover Snark!
From Jen: Maybe it’s me but this head does not look natural on this body.
Sarah: Definitely not the head that body came with. Also, is that the dude from Downton Abbey?
Elyse: Looks like Sebastian Stan to me.
Maya: It looks like BBL Spaceman had one too many surgeries.
…
I think we need some input from all of you! Does this cover say:
- Stain-Crossed
- Stair-Crossed
- Stan-Crossed
- Other
Sneezy: Why is his left hand in a different plane of existence than the rest of everything? Are push-up bras in fashion again? Where did her legs go? Are those flying jellyfish? Inquiring minds want to know
Shana: I wish more covers incorporated flying jellyfish.
Sarah: I too am most curious about the glowy flying jellyfish! Like, are they buddies? Do they follow the Cursed One around like little night lights?
Shana: Something is wrong with their bodies but I can’t put my finger on what…
Elyse: They look like mannequins.
Sarah: The one on the right has a very very long sternum.
And the hand on the shoulder seems detached? Not touching anything?
Katee Roberts quoted someone when I interviewed her saying that looking for AI in a cover is like trying to see the fae.
That’s how this feels.
From Kareni: Here is a cover to consider for cover snark. Frankly, I have a difficult time figuring out what I am looking at.
Sarah: WHEEEEEEEE!
Elyse: Does he have to pee? Is that why he’s pulling on his pants?

Enjoy!
Happy T-Day Eve to All Who Come to Playtime!
Wichita’s turkey traffic enforcer causes fowl play at busy intersection
by FOX Kansas NewsTue, November 26th 2024 at 9:24 AM
(I saw this on the news last night and thought it would be fun for us here. It’s actually our local/Wichita ABC affiliate news, on the Simpsons’s channel here. If you click through, you can watch just this story, or our whole little nighttime newscast, if you like. I can’t find the link to embed the video, which I recommend. -A)
An unexpected but welcome visitor is getting a lot of attention at an east Wichita intersection, whether he’s stopping traffic or trying to attack cars.
In a world of too much distracted driving, all of the drivers and passengers near Central and Greenwhich are paying attention to G.G. the Eastside Turkey.
Nancy Withers owns Kitchen Wow, one of several places the famous Eastside Turkey likes to hang out. She says he’s been around for almost a year now.
FOX Kansas News reporter Jocelyn Schifferdecker has more on the road warrior in the video posted above.
Thanksgiving by Nancy Beiman
(I love this toon on GoComics. The artist/author writes on Substack, and this one is especially nice. -A)
It should be every day. Read on Substack
American Thanksgiving is on Thursday, November 28. Grandma Heckel is visiting the FurBabies. This is only fair since she hosted the dinner last year and had the Buffet family visit for Canadian Thanksgiving this year. Grandma likes turkey.
Kate wasn’t allowed to make the pies last year. She was just an influencer.
FurBabies, November 19, 2023
Grandma did like it.
The Dog Family had a Friendsgiving with Mrs. Oldman and Buster.
FurBabies, November 21, 2023
Since Grandma is visiting, Mrs. Oldman is celebrating the holiday elswhere this year, possibly in Mexico. (I like to think that all of the off camera characters are living ordinary lives when I don’t have the ‘camera’ on them; we get glimpses when they do something funny.)
FurBabies is seen from the point of view of the Dog Family and Kate. The parents and Grandma never appear in the strip, so I had to find a situation that would allow us to guess their reactions to an unanticipated event. Luckily I found a great ‘human interest’ story about a dog and an Item that was perfect for the occasion.
Plans for the formal dinner began on Monday, November 25. Grandma likes dressing up. We see Shawm and Stella ‘suit up’ for a rehearsal, then cut to a night scene. Grandma Heckel is staying in Kate’s bedroom, which she shares with Sirius and Floof. Everyone has to find a new place to sleep. Sirius is not happy with his options. Sirius finds the Item on November 27, so I won’t reveal it here. I was happy with the results. We also see where Shawm and Stella sleep every night.
The situation resolves on November 30, which then conveniently transitions into the Holiday strips. There’s a bit of repetition with variation when Kate once again tries to send a text to Santa. Things do not work out as planned.
Real life is like that, except it isn’t usually funny. (snip)
Double-Dip Monday Poetry
Seeing things in Pictures
While Elon Musk is channeling Fonzi,
The withered husk of Trump
is a played out Ponzi.
His expression wry,
his head seems bare
as if worry at last has
Behold the stylite, who would eschew
the seed oil, the highly-processed,
the inferior fuel.
He is taking communion
in the body of Trump.
See this face now kissing
such poisonous rump.
Here’s Moses Mike, barely in the frame.
Happy to be here, a man without shame.
No weaker speaker would ever rest on such laurels,
Enabling, dissembling, religious, with no morals.
Dominionist, insurrectionist–
How in this mixture?
A key cog, not insignificant,
not the focus of the picture.
And poor Don. Jr. the first born second place
will wonder when he was erased,
But I think younger sibling Barron
is the heir to all this wayward carrion.
The pictures tell a tale most bizarre–
Is this how future folk will see who we are?
