a link, a list, a rec, a word, a pic

Hi. This week's theme is brevity.

Calvin & Hobbes, in a hand-drawn sketch of the characters zooming along on a sled. Calvin's hair is not spiky. It's matted down over his eyes.

This image is from a fun Mastodon thread in which Andy Baio shows stuff from the Billy Ireland Cartoon Museum in Columbus (presumably Ohio). There's a lot of great detail on all the small changes and corrections various cartoonists (but mostly Bill Watterson) made, and also an absolutely filthy joke from vintage Nancy.

Item 2: a list

Image of 9 shirt collar styles, which are listed below in a different order.

Dress shirt collar styles, ranked

  4. Straight point
  5. Spread

  7. Band
  8. Cutaway
  9. Long button-down

Item 3: a media recommendation

Item 4: word of the week

Haiga

You, a backcountry rube: durrrr I like haiku
Me, a worldly sophisticate: nothing tickles one's fancy quite like a tasteful haiga
