unfortunately spent a lot of this week lying on the couch going "oooerrggg orrrrggg" but i started a little side drawing for fun and worked on my stupid, never-ending bloodborne project thing. here's some things i watched/read this week!

• i played the tomodachi life demo and am unfortunately looking forward to playing it when it comes out. im kind of a sucker for the stupid shit tomodachi life allows you to indulge in. i think it will be fun to make my little comic freaks come alive in that game.
• tokyo tv has been uploading official subtitled episodes of "the solitary gourmet", which was originally a great manga about a salary man who is kind of a misanthrope. he eats food and enjoys his solo life. very simple premise and execution. the tv show is a delightful take on the premise. great for if you just like seeing good food.
• the only true crime youtuber worth watching, matt orchard, released another video demonstrating how circumstantial evidence can be used to win trials.
• triple canopy, an arts magazine, released an article entitled "black block": “Do we think that being truly critical of a black artist’s work would be, in some way, racist?” An essay on the false choice between boosterism and marginalization, and the assumptions that keep critics from seeing clearly". a really fascinating overview of a complicated problem in arts.
• red letter media asks: what are these movies?! 
• a previously discussed artist, salmonrowe, released a zine about their sweet little cat on their patreon :)
• uni the cat turned 6 years old!
• i made a post about what i consider to be "influential webcomics" on tumblr!

here's this week's doodle and the context required to understand it lol.
