Good Evening Mr. Phelps.
30 years ago, the city of Aeor created the Latimus Princeps, a device that prevents divine entry and scrying within the city of Aeor. Since then, our covert agents within the city have learned that Aeor has neared completion of a god-killing weapon known as the Factorum Malleus. In addition, they have created a failsafe protocol spread throughout the city, wherein should they feel there is a threat to the Factorum Malleus, they will disseminate knowledge of how to build it across the globe, ensuring its recreation. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to infiltrate the city of Aeor in the guise of a mortal, sabotage the failsafe mechanism and Latimus Princeps, and destroy the Factorum Malleus. As always, should any of you or your IMF team be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

look at me. listen to me. this is directed at americans for the record. the reason you think North American animals are boring is because you live here. there are so many cool and beautiful animals here. we have beavers. we have wolves. we have moose. we have sea lions. we have armadillos. we have mountain lions. we have alligators. we have foxes. we have bighorn sheep. we have manatees. we have bears. we have ocelots. we have BISON. and that’s not even touching on the birds! or the turtles! or the snakes! we have amazing beautiful and diverse wildlife right here and it deserves to be appreciated and protected
There’s a bunch of right-wing people posting memes about “”DOGE”” making the government more efficient by removing funding from “”dumb bug researchers”” and I am now realizing how little the average person knows about entomology and its importance
Excuse me while I get sad .

comic done for a project assignment a few years back!
The Princess Bride is such a funny book to read after ONLY seeing the movie. Like Goldman made up a fake author from a fake country and proceeded to write the book as an abridged version of what the fake author wrote... and then he proceeds to add in notes to the "abridged version" mentioning all the boring world building stuff he skipped because it was boring.
Like shout out to William Goldman, man really did make an entire book that is just "the cool scenes you thought of in your head" and then made up a fake author to abridge so he doesn't have to connect them.
And it slaps
I didn't realize so many of you longed for the humble wheelbug
