[digital sketch (helpfully labelled "is Birb...") of a pigeon in a tie thinking "Coo?"]
I was testing out my new drawing tablet with my husband's computer, and decided to leave this open on his screen for him to find when he came home.

At the time I made this, I still had paint out from a craft project I was working on, so I decided to just paint a note rather than write one.
[painted smiley face = heart, with text "Smile because I love you!"] A dumb joke photoshop I made for my husband of a screenshot from Mega Man 10 enhanced with additional Spikes/Spykes and a Megaman-branded light bulb.

This note is a direct result of how we store bread: I was taught by my middle school science teacher that keeping the ends on the bread when you store it helps preserve the life of the loaf and inhibit hyphae from growing. So that's what I do, which means the two butts of the bread are always the last slices in the bag. To try and avoid this, my husband takes a more rational approach. If he gets to the last four slices before I do, he pairs them off into two sets of end+middle. Now you would think I would have adopted his policy by now, seeing as it is by far the more superior sandwich-making method, but I (being the crass and unusual person I am) delight in making double butt sandwiches. I delight in calling them "double butt sandwiches." I especially delight in making double butt sandwiches for him, and since I am almost always the person packing his lunch, he gets them a lot. It annoys him, so I made this note to soften the blow the last time I packed one. The note references the Double Rainbow video. [pen and colored pencil drawing of a double rainbow with a butt at each end, surrounded by the text "Woo!" "Woo!" "Double Butt, so intense!" "Ah! Ah! It's so beautiful!"] This Butt Week doodle needs some explaining...
For the past year or so, I've kept seeing cute animal butts featured as fashion-forward designs - from this item I picked up in my Love Nikki tablet game, to this Neko Atsume phone charm at AnimeNEXT (yes I bought it and it's currently on my phone), to these cat butt coasters on Etsy, to this set of cat butt magnets, to merch from my fave webcomics artists. It seems like animal butt motifs are on trend as the newest craze, bridging that fine line between adorable and edgy. I decided, though, that there wasn't enough variety in the products offered. Where were the fish butts, the dragon butts, the bear butts? This note corrects that oversight.

[drawing of Mr. Peanut's derriere with text "Peanut Butt" vs. drawing of Mr. Peanut's bootyliciously enhanced derriere with text "Peanut Butter"] ...it's the little typographical symbol used to indicate a new paragraph or train of thought in a text.
The modern-day convention of indentation indicating a new paragraph actually derives from printers leaving enough space in the text to allow rubricators to hand-draw pilcrows. When the speed of printing technology eventually outpaced the rate at which human hands could add drawn notations, those spaces were left blank and became symbolic in and of themselves. Nifty! Today's rather unassuming note also kicks off Butt Week: I apparently drew five different butt-related doodles during the last two years (because butts are inherently funny) and have decided to group them together for your viewing (dis)pleasure. Non-butt posts will resume on Sunday. [drawing of a saggy pilcrow with text "Is this a pilcrow, or the bottom half of a stick figure with a really big butt?"] |
