page 1296 – mutually contradictory philosophical outlooks
Confession time: this was NOT supposed to be the page for this week. I’d started drawing something entirely different, but realized halfway through that I’d botched something significantly enough that the entire page needed to be started over from scratch. Not only did pivoting over to something less complicated fit better into the time that was left, but… well, you know how it is. There’s just something having to do that thing you were just doing over AGAIN that simply ain’t good for the brain, so I needed to go do something, ANYTHING else at that point. Speaking of doing anything else, this is all after I’d ALREADY backed myself into a bit of a corner by blowing too much of last week cranking out multiple Conventional Wisdom pages to try and capitalize on the post-con window of interest. And don’t even get me STARTED on the whole “surprise hard drive failure” thing that I’m still in the process of cleaning up after.
Okay, venting over. Time for the good news. I’m not going on the road again for the rest of the year, and the scramble to get extra Conventional Wisdom done is mostly passed by this point, so I SHOULD be able to stick to a more regular schedule of putting stuff out for the rest of the month. Which mean the ACTUAL return of Voting incentives! For real this time! Seriously!
EDIT: At long last, NEW VOTING INCENTIVE ON TWC!!!
The cost of repairing his fingers and the wall is far less than that of replacing all of those Vending Machines. Or even a tenth of them. Honestly, he could have lost half his hand and still be better off, despite replacing half a hand being more costly than replacing a full hand, even if standard “cost saving measures” to cut off the rest of the hand at the wrist weren’t applied.
Commencing wild speculation over just how much of Cap’n Crosby is still baseline human underneath that suit
He is, beyond a slowing of aging, still 100% Human underneath the suit. And much of the slowness of his aging is a side effect of both living in the suit and living so far in the future compared to when we live.
That said, he looks like he’s a fit guy in his 80’s, despite being over 120.
Holy moly the voting incentive confirms a long held theory: Ichabod has EYES under his glasses. It’s only been speculation until now!
There’s been exactly ONE previous Voting incentive that did, in fact, depict Ichabod with his glasses off… but I can’t even begin to guess if it’s actually been re-posted onto the new website or not. If it hasn’t then yeah! That would indeed be the only image on the whole Internet to show this mysterious sight!

Ah, there you go! …though I think Past Me made a mistake drawing Ichabod’s eyes that big. One of the foundational rules of art is Big Glasses = Beady Little Eyes, regardless of how good or bad the actual eyesight is supposed to be.
Honestly, beady little eyes wouldn’t really fit with the rest of your art style. If everybody’s eyes are a third of the size of their head on average, the one person who does have eyes the size of marbles just looks weird.
