    Calligraphy is an art and like other forms of art I should have the option to not engage with it because I am terrible at it

    am I the only one who is thoroughly tired of the internet's juvenile fascination with the numbers 69 and 420?

    Why doesn’t they guy sitting next to Medusa in the first panel get petrified, she looks right at him

    Also the baseball guys aren’t petrified by the jumbotron

    The guy points out he and the Medusa are on the jumbotron, she looks in that direction, which puts the baseball mans in her line of sight

    But really there ought to be a whole stadium full of statues right about now

    Undivine with some news
    I’ve talked about this on Patreon and Twitter but in case you don’t follow me there, here’s the new direction [un]Divine’s going.

    [un]Divine’s no longer my full time job. I can’t continue working 60+ hours a week, every day, with no time off to visit family or take a break because doing so will set me behind deadlines. I can’t keep it up health wise and after having 1/3 of my Patreon income cut (I had to discontinue mail club as it became too much) I can’t continue it financially either.

    Unfortunately this comic is a commercial flop, my own fault for not meeting market demands and expectations. The years long slow burn before anything exciting happens, the complicated story, taking over 15 hours on each page, all of that and more contributed to UD being a narratively boring and niche comic. It’s performance has been stagnating for years and it finally got too much for me to justify it monopolizing my time. I learned from my mistake and I’m moving on.

    I’m not quitting this comic entirely as I still love it and I owe my patrons who supported me all these years. Instead of every week updates, UD pages will be posted as I’m able to get them done first for patrons and then in batch updates publicly. Same for any other comic I draw, it will be posted on Patreon first as thanks for anyone still wanting to support me.

    It’s a bummer but things getting canceled from lack of interest happens all the time. I know I’m disappointing people and that a good number will resent me. There’s nothing to be said that doesn’t change the fact that [un]Divine’s a flop. I can’t make a living from a free webcomic so I’m branching out into other projects I have and into the animation industry. You can follow my work on twitter and other platforms. If you still want to support my work financially, my Patreon is updated with what I’m working on.

    I like Undivine's art a lot but I feel like taking 15+ hours per page with the art style mostly staying the same throughout the comic is a sign of some sort of workflow issue

    Part 6 just dropped but I'm only gonna link to part 5 because part 6 starts to get a little NSFW-y. Still PG-13 levels though. Not sure if I'm overstepping the rules but it seems on the edge...

    I got a little confused. I couldn't find all the pages on Twitter and what's labeled parts 5 and 6 on Twitter is labeled parts 3 and 4 on their Artstation.

    am I the only one who is thoroughly tired of the internet's juvenile fascination with the numbers 69 and 420?
    I'm tired of not knowing what the 420 is supposed to mean. It's something about drugs is all I know, but no-one ever explains it.
    So I'm going to get to the bottom of this once and for all:
    I don't know what 420 is supposed to reference, please don't explain it to me.

    If that doesn't work, nothing will.

    Nobody remembers the singer. The song remains.

    That much I get, but how and why does 420 = weed? There's a logical connection there that I'm completely missing.

    Nobody knows for sure. But it spread as a pre-internet meme, like “Kilroy was here”.

    Like I’ve heard explanations that ranged from

    -that’s when the last classes at Cal-Berkeley got out in the 60s (no idea if this is true or not)
    -California penal code for marijuana possession (debunked)
    -simple street slang, i.e. drugs are sold on the street in units you can get “for $20” because it’s an easy number for dealers and customers (i find this one most credible, but again nobody knows for sure)

    fwiw Wikipedia seems fairly confident that 420 grew out of a small group of teens in San Rafael in '71 (originally just a set time for a weed treasure hunt, later just a codeword for smoking weed in general), and then one of said teens became a roadie for the Grateful Dead and it spread from there.

    The main source for that seems to be a '98 issue of the High Times, and I dunno how reputable they are on this stuff.

    So this article is a hoax? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_(cannabis_culture)

    i really can't express how much "a counterculture magazine says they know the story of 4:20 and it starts 30 years ago" is literally, as i said, apocryphal folklore and tales twisted by word of mouth
