X-men happy meal by Emiko Iwasaki
It’s time to face facts.
I’m never going to outgrow my X-Men phase. Ever.
This is by far my favorite Escher Girls redraw. The ladies featured in the new cover here are sexy AND strong, suggesting that assess are about to be kicked. The original cover by Scott Campbell looks like some kind of sky diving-themed porno.

Russian animated short from 1984, the Tree and the Cat. A truly beautiful piece of animation.
On June 26, 1956, author C.S. Lewis responded to a fan letter from Joan Lancaster, a young Chronicles of Narnia enthusiast.
In a personalized thank-you letter, the writer imparted some simple and valuable stylistic advice for budding prose writers.
1. Always try to use the language so as to make quite clear what you mean and make sure your sentence couldn’t mean anything else.
2. Always prefer the plain direct word to the long, vague one. Don’t implement promises, but keep them.
3. Never use abstract nouns when concrete ones will do. If you mean “More people died” don’t say “Mortality rose.”
4. In writing. Don’t use adjectives which merely tell us how you want us to feel about the thing you are describing. I mean, instead of telling us a thing was “terrible,” describe it so that we’ll be terrified. Don’t say it was “delightful”; make us say “delightful” when we’ve read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers, “Please will you do my job for me.”
5. Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say “infinitely” when you mean “very”; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.

Have you ever wondered why C. S. Lewis chose a business archetype for his version of hell in the Screwtape Letters? This is why.
