I felt like the first version of this was actually better, in the sense that, if the adult Grim Reaper carries a sickle, then as a kid he must have carried scissors. I worried about it for some reason and ended up changing it to the bottom version.

Had a lot of fun with this one, phenomenal work @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip!

Do you think it's the body shape that makes her attractive? Is her longer, slimmer nose (snout?) considered more beautiful? Or is it just the clothing/jewelry/makeup? Does Moominvalley also have a problem with unrealistic body standards? Am I having too much fun overanalyzing this? Probably.

Do we ever get the horse's name? Very smart to just chill in the water and let this play out.

You do run the risk of ending up with lots of glass shards in your beer that way. Or at least I do, maybe it's a skill issue

Now we're victim blaming poor old Chuck smh my head

Drawing God in any context, let alone a cartoon, poses some obvious risks.

In the upper left cartoon, I was careful to do two things; First, I made God look the way I think most of us are pretty sure he looks. Secondly, I made sure he was really winning hands down. Even if Norman had only ten points it would have meant that he beat God to the buzzer at least once, and someone would have gotten mad.

"In God's Kitchen" was fairly benign, since the emphasis was mostly on the earth and the suggestion that things aren't quite normal here and why.

I was mostly worried about the last cartoon shown here. Not because of readers, who for the most part found it to be a light and silly drawing, but because I started to feel like I was bucking for a lightning bolt to come out of the sky and turn me into something like the kid here.

It would be doable, and libraries have been amenable to this sort of thing, like not handing over records about checking out books. This is even easier than checking out books, since you don't actually need to record who is attached to the account. Libraries could obfuscate information that could lead to invasion of privacy. And because it's distributed and local, it's much harder to abuse. If someone tried creating 100 accounts, the librarians would start remembering them and refusing to give them more. Going around to 100 libraries would also be much harder than spamming a new account page on some website.

Yeah, I guess "take over" is too strong vs "provide the option of". It shouldn't be the only way, but would be one very good option. They don't need to actually keep any records of who they gave an account to, and can take steps to obfuscate any privacy-violating processes. Historically, they've been very amenable to this, such as not handing over records about who checked out books.

How many libraries

That'd be a great thing IMO. More skills like that should be distributed and federated. Libraries should be community centers of learning, including learning how to run servers. Information isn't just books anymore, and libraries need to adapt.
