"Okay, me. You've got to make it clear that Luke's hurt."
Got it.
"But he doesn't have any visible injuries."
Um... Okay, he can have a pained expression. No problem.
"And he's trying not to make a big thing of it, so he really needs to smile."
...This is going to wind up looking weird, isn't it.
"It'll be FINE! Look, just draw some lightning bolts of pain."
Lightning bolts of pain?
"Lightning bolts of pain."
You... Are a GENIUS.

“hey buddy what’re you doing”
“i’m making muffins bro”
“why bro”
“because there’s muffin i love more than you”
“bro”
“dude”
hello!! i made this for you!! i love you and your art and your tag stories, i think you’re awesome!!
IS THAT A TINY OVEN
MITT. OH MY GOD (⊙ꇴ⊙)
This scene looks so sweet and friendly! And so incredibly neatly done, the geometric shapes are so
clean and fresh and I love that you gave the dragons outlines a different
color than the kitchen, it really makes the characters stand out ₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡ This must be a very difficult medium
to work with and I feel honored that you took the time to make this.
The combination of the geometric shapes harmony very well with the
cartoony look of the dragons, it really looks
like a screenshot from a cartoon. Your art style looks so neat and warm! ( ˊᵕˋ )♡
I bet those are apple-cinnamon muffins because those are the best muffins and this is also the best and you’re the best. I’m sorry that it took me so long to post this, it’s really wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing! I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend :)
Sometimes, the best birthday presents are the ones you give yourself. In [Dino]’s case, they’re the ones you make for yourself. In honor of his 55th, he built the Sqonkbox 55, a 13-note cigar box organ based on a 555 and amplified with an LM386.
It’s based on a 555 wired in astable mode, turning it into an oscillator that outputs a frequency. This frequency is determined by the resistors between pins 6 and 7, another between 7 and 8, and the capacitor between pin 2 and ground. [Dino] shows a breadboard version first, with a single tuning pot and momentary acting as a piano key. As he explains, this portion of the circuit is repeated 13 times with pots and momentaries that he arranges like piano keys through the lid of a cigar box.
“Sqonkbox,” you ask? A second 555 in astable mode sends the output through an LED. This LED stands face to face with an LDR, and they are shrouded in this configuration with black heat shrink tubing. The ‘sqonk’ 555 changes the frequency of the first 555, providing a clippy, rhythmic tone at the rate set by a potentiometer. [Dino]’s full video of the build is after the break. A BOM is forthcoming, but it’s easy enough to puzzle it out between the video and the lovely, Forrest Mims-esque schematic.
