My savage love for Avatar: The Last Airbender and its follow up, The Legend of Korra, takes comic form. Tumbl’d here on request! This was originally drawn for Tor.com, so give ‘em a visit. I’ve done a lot of other comics for Tor, including one on Alien, A Wrinkle in Time and The Hunger Games (and the Hunger Games movie). 
I mean it when I say Avatar:TLA is the best animated show of the past 30 years. It is truly spectacular, and as a former animator turned comic maker, I’m really happy certain creators were able to make it happen. Go you guys!
Edited to add: please view the comic full size! Can’t read it otherwise. Tumblr is mysterious…

[bolin]

because everyone is praising him for being far better than bolin and just… no. mako’s bending style, while more technically skilled than his younger brother, still has a long way to go until it’s at the level of zuko or iroh or even korra. the fighting style he uses…

11 Touching Portraits of Elderly Animals by Isa Leshko

I also want my images to inspire greater empathy toward animals, particularly farm animals. It is rare to see a farm animal that has actually lived its natural life span given that most of these animals experience brutality and death early in their lives. By depicting the beauty and dignity of these creatures in their later years, I want to challenge people’s assumptions about these animals and inspire reforms to the treatment of farm animals.

HELLO, AND WELCOME. IT’S GOOD TO SEE SO MANY SMILING FACES IN THE PEWS TODAY. NOW, IT’S IMPORTANT THAT WE GET BACK TO GOOD OLD FASHIONED CHRISTIAN VALUES IN THIS COUNTRY, AND I THINK THE BEST WAY WE CAN DO THAT IS TO FOCUS ON THE PARTS OF THE BIBLE THAT OCCUR BEFORE CHRIST. THAT’S WHY WE’RE CHRISTIANS. BECAUSE CHRIST ISN’T IMPORTANT. WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THE PRIMITIVE, SUPERSTITIOUS, DEPLORABLE PARTS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT THAT ALLOW US TO BE AS FAR REMOVED FROM THE NAMESAKE OF OUR CHOSEN RELIGION AS POSSIBLE SO THAT WE DON’T HAVE TO DO THINGS LIKE EXPLAIN GAY PEOPLE OR ECONOMIC DISPARITY TO OUR KIDS WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY SHITTING ON THE POOR AND REDUCING WOMEN AND BLACKS TO THE LEVEL OF PROPERTY, STRIPPED OF THEIR HARD-WON RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.
WHAT WE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT DO IS ACKNOWLEDGE THE TEACHINGS AND WISDOM OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, WHICH IS THE BOOK OUR RELIGION DRAWS ITS NAME FROM. THAT WOULD JUST BE SILLY, AND WE’D HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO … EVERYONE, BASICALLY, FOR BEING ENORMOUS, UNREPENTANT ASSHOLES WHO PLACE PERSONAL PROFIT AND COMFORT OVER THE RIGHTS AND NEEDS OF THE MANY.
I CAN SEE A LOT OF YOU HERE TODAY ARE GOING TO START ASKING THE SAME KIND OF QUESTIONS THAT GOT JESUS IN SO MUCH TROUBLE, AND I JUST WANT TO ASK YOU: WHAT ARE YOU, SOCIALISTS? STOP ROCKING THE BOAT. IF YOU HAVE A CONSCIENCE THEN THE TERRORISTS HAVE WON. AMEN.

“Will you please be my friend?”
Two orphaned baby ground squirrels meet for the first time after both losing their moms and arriving at Coast & Canyon Wildlife Rehabilitation in Malibu, California.  After 3 months of volunteer care, they’ll be ready for release back into the wild ~ and they’ll go together.
