Oh, sweet Sammy. We could not be more in love with this gentle, mellow girl. She gets along great with other respectful dogs and she is even okay with cats, and loves her people! Sammy is nine years old and is currently in a foster home where she is getting lots of love while she waits for her forever family. Submitted by the Humane Society Silicon Valley.

Holly, my Yorkie, and I recently moved to the beach on Long Island. Holly has never associated with dogs and certainly doesn’t believe she is one. She hates the beach because it’s wet and dirty. I finally got her to step on the sand for a minute, but every time she heard a small wave this was the terrified look I got. Submitted by Christina Z.

The time is NOW

This is the BEST time to pledge to my Patreon page. Why? Because you’ll get a bunch of rewards without waiting all month for them! You’ll get your monthly reward package on Monday!

So, here’s the deal. I’ve been posting, on average, more than one post a day for over two years. That’s more than 1,200 posts, including 600+ NSFW comics, illustrations and bonuses. And you have access to that as soon as you pledge.

BUT…

I send my backers links to entire folders full of the NSFW content — broken down by category — as soon as the payments are processed in the first couple days of each month. One folder has all of the Evil Inc After Dark pages, in order. Another folder has all of the NSFW commissions. Another has all of the Courting Disaster comics, and so forth.

It’s a snazzy reading experience, and it’s a great way to view only the material you’re in the mood for.

If you pledge before the end of the month, however, you’re not going to have to wait long at all to get access to these categorized folders of NSFW goodness! I’ll be distributing those as soon as the payments are processed.

And in those few days in between, you can still access all of the exclusive content by using the content tags to filter only the stuff you want to read right now!

There’s a lot to see —more than 500 NSFW comics, cartoons, illustrations and illustrated stories! And I’m adding new content almost every day! Here’s a look at some cruelly-cropped samples from recent posts…

Robo-Vac gets his own movie because this is 2003, when superhero films were beginning to noticeably ramp up.  Before then, I was like, pfffft, nobody’d buy a movie based on Robo-Vac.  And now, in 2018, it’d be insane if there weren’t.

I can’t take my eyes off Joe’s pose in the last frame.  I mean, it’s… mostly a well-executed shiver, but his hands are the size of his head.  He’s got yaoi hands.

I’m pretty sure these background people silhouettes are the precursor to the ones I draw into the backgrounds of Dumbing of Age.  Though it’s much easier when you can just doodle them in with a paintbrush tool.

For lots of people, their pets are not just animals but very real and favorite members of the family. We love and cherish them, and they give their love to us in return. But unfortunately both owners and pets have their fair share of problems. Just like people might leave their clothes lying around the house, our pets leave their “clothing” lying around in the form of shedding their hair. If you have your heart set on getting a dog or cat, then you will have to resign yourself to frequent cleaning, sweeping and vacuuming. These seven tips will help you keep your house clean and improve your relationship with your favorite four-legged companion.

Wet Rag or Broom

Admittedly, this is the first thing that comes to our minds when we think about cleaning up hair from a carpet. This tip is the easiest one. But despite its seeming obviousness and simplicity, this trick can be handy. All you need to do is take a rag that you use for cleaning, soak it with water, ring it out until the rag is damp, then very gently wipe the carpet while squeezing the rag. You can also use a wet broom. Wet the broom and then shake it to get rid of excess moisture, and then sweep the carpet. When your rag or broom gets dry, remove the collected hair, then repeat if necessary.

Adhesive Tape

This tip may seem strange at first, but it might be the most effective. Adhesive tape has about a million uses, and cleaning pet hair from carpet (and from clothing) is a true pro tip. Here is the instruction: take the tape, cut off a small piece, and simply put it on the carpet where you see hair. All the hair will stick to the tacky side. This trick is pretty handy, but it has a couple of disadvantages. First of all, you obviously can’t clean the entire carpet… just where an excess of hair is clearly visible. Secondly, you won’t be able to get to the hair that is set deep into the pile.

Carpet Brush

One more easy and common method of carpet cleaning is using a thick-bristled brush with a handle. This common household tool can capture deeply set hairs and leave your carpet perfectly clean. You can use a dry brush or a wet one. This type of brush can be found in the housewares department of most grocery or department stores, and you choose from various kinds of bristle material and bristle thickness. The only disadvantage to keep in mind with a hard-bristled brush is that it can harm soft pile carpets.

Carpet Shampoo

This household chemical can be applied to carpet and rugs. The principle of action of using carpet shampoo involves the chemical interaction and wet cleaning of the pile with the further usage of brushes or a vacuum cleaner. Shampoos can prove to be very effective in removing hair and pet odors.

Pet Hair Remover Glove

If we use it to groom our cats and dogs, why can’t we clean the carpet with it? This kind of flexible glove allows you to brush the loose hair from your animal, as well as remove it from clothes, furniture, and carpets. On the palm side, the glove has rows of special soft rubber tips that catch every single hair. Simply put the glove on your hand and carefully brush the carpet with the rubber side. When you are finished brushing and all fur has been removed, you can peel the hair off the glove. This tip is quite similar to using a carpet brush, but the gloves are usually softer and will brush your carpet more gently. The pet hair remover gloves are available for purchase online.

Robot Vacuum Cleaner for Carpets and Rugs

A robot vacuum cleaner is another beautiful and useful way to keep your house clean. The vacuum cleaner is an effective tips which can guarantee you a perfect result. Moreover, you don’t even have to vacuum the carpet yourself anymore. Some models are equipped with special brushes that clean flat surfaces so that you can choose the best robot vacuum cleaner for carpets. Remote control will allow users to run the cleaner via smartphone. Modern models meet all standards of safety and quality and can be an indispensable assistant in housekeeping. There is one drawback: these robots can be rather expensive. But they are worth buying, and you will be pleasantly surprised by the result.

Steam Generator

A steam cleaner is a device that cleans very similar to other cleaners, but without any harmful household chemicals. The power of steam is much greater than the power of these chemical agents. A steam generator is usually used in stain removal, bathroom cleaning, and carpet cleaning. It heats the water to steam and then produces steam under great pressure. Just like vacuum cleaners, some models are additionally equipped with special brushes and will filter out hair. The high temperature disinfects the treated surfaces and refreshes the air.

As you can see, with a proper budget it is easy to find the best tip for carpet cleaning. But remember that pet hair around the house is not just an unwanted stain. It can be a serious source of allergens and respiratory problems. So if you have a pet, regular wet cleaning is vital for your health, especially for families with children. In addition to all the above-mentioned tips, you can also should try to treat excess shedding. Regular brushing and special vitamin supplements can help to reduce the quantity of shedding.

I’ve been trying to figure out what someone from a relatively low tech civilization could offer as currency to a higher tech one. I’m sure whole papers (or at least blog posts) have been written about this topic, but there’s only a few things I can think of, and some are dependent on the tech disparity.

If the high tech civilization has not just 3D printers, but something like matter replicators where you can build crap from the molecule up, the only things of real value I can think of would be information, power, labor and entertainment. The only physical material that would have intrinsic value would be things the replicators can’t recreate, like matter with a half-life shorter than, I don’t know, 40 years or something, like plutonium 241. Or maybe energon chips or zero point modules. Then that stuff would have potential value. Not that you’d want a bunch of loose change in your pocket made out of Californium 252. It would be asinine to use as currency.

If a civ does have matter replicators, information would still be valuable, like the plans to print your own Nintendo Switch, or the high tech civilization equivalent. In fact, if you had a civ with matter replicators and unlimited power, information like that would be nearly the only thing of value, I think.

If an advanced civ didn’t have matter replicators, then just about anything could be barterable. Gold has no intrinsic value. It’s a great conductor of heat and electricity and is nearly chemically inert, so it definitely has its uses. Humans generally go bonkers for it, but there’s every chance that an alien civilization could value some random material like aluminum simply because their planet has less of it, or because the aluminum cartel has told everyone that aluminum is desirable, the same way diamonds are here on Earth. Again, diamonds are useful in tools and other applications, but have no intrinsic value other than that we’ve decided as a race that they’re valuable.

Power is obvious. Any civilization would need power, (and let’s assume that the laws of thermodynamics hold true no matter your tech level) unless they’re at a point where they know how to generate so much that it’s moot. Dyson sphere level civilizations would have to be pretty embarrassed with themselves if they needed more power than 100% of a sun. Or… 99%, depending on the efficiency of their solar panels.

Then there’s labor. If your civilization has matter replicators, they probably have robot labor. I mean, we’re getting to that point. We have machines building cars, and in a few years those cars will be driving themselves. Amazon’s warehouses are full of industrial roomba things that carry stuff to and from shelves. Eventually all uber drivers and DoorDash drivers and UPS drivers will be replaced with robots, and we don’t even have matter replicators. But, if a civ has had a robot uprising like in Dune and their robots are no more advanced than roombas, then labor is something a low tech civ can trade on.

The only other thing of value a lower tech civilization can offer is entertainment. I drew Deus picking up a pack full of bars of something. I was thinking rhodium when I drew it, but honestly, let’s pretend those are fancy boxes full of thumb drives with terrabytes of human on human porn. Maybe some Hollywood movies and Buffy and Cheers and The Bob Newhart Show too.

Red Dead Redemption 2, more than any other Rockstar game I can think of, is so laid back. There’s just something super chill about hitting the countryside on horseback or getting lost in the mountains tracking a deer, that not even the first game could match. The world is so big, and so richly detailed, that you feel like you could just drown in it, and I often find myself just… traveling. Walking or at a slow trot on my horse. And I love the cinematic camera on horseback, being able to just set a destination, and sit back and enjoy the ride as the game takes over navigation.

So as such, I’m done suffering all these damned fools out there trying to interrupt my peaceful stress-free ride. No sir, you will not approach my horse under false pretenses, only to try and steal it. No lady, you got yourself kidnapped, figure that shit out on your own. Sorry fellas, I don’t believe your wagon just happened to break down there blocking the only bridge forward. I’m gonna start shooting before you’re even within bullshitting distance.

1. I used Neptune because using Uranus would have sounded dirty, but looking back I feel I should have leaned into it.  Joe is definitely trying to crawl up his own asshole here.
2. Yeah, Joe, this is what happens sometimes because I have my characters talk out loud to themselves instead of doing thought bubbles, I’m sorry.
