"Streaming"

I don't stream. Still. Still never installed Zoom on any computer. (update: finally succumbed last semester to signing up at the office computer. Still buy DVDs. The closest is sometimes having YouTube (less and less these days on account of incessant advertisements that are mostly scams) open in the background while working on the computer. Supposedly, according to a valued friend's opinion on the industry, comics is (or was) largely populated by adolescent boys of any age who work long isolated hours and are consequently self-exposed to right-wing media which in turn reinforces a toxic, misogynistic and myopic perspective. And I have nightmares about how horrible the unmoderated complete shit that YouTube pumps out must corrode people lacking social media literacy skills who are vulnerable to manipulation. Anyways, there's no accompanying doodle or sketch to this, so it's another one of those that just came out the other end of the pen while in the midst of a workflow session. I gave the watercolored original to someone and it was left behind so I reclaimed it, which is good since I had forgotten to document it. And so here it is. More of a commentary on how idyllic and blissful it can be floating along completely ignorant of what's going on below. And now the beaver's definitely gonna be a new sticker, maybe even the moose too...
