Some of y'all've been asking me if I do Magnus Archives stuff for like -checks calendar- years now.

And you know what? Y'all win.

I'll draw Magnus Dagnus things for y'all to procure IRL but you're gonna have to listen to my favourite artist about it.

Back in the late '60s and early '70s, the eight-track tape was king. I mounted a player under the dash of my old '50 Chevy pickup truck. For some reason, I also added a tachometer to the steering column—not because I needed one, but simply because I thought it looked cool. Anyway, back on track to the eight-track. I had albums by Steppenwolf, the Eagles, Chicago, and more. It wasn't long, though, before the eight-track faded away, replaced by the cassette player, which itself was eventually overtaken by the compact disc (CD). CDs are still around today but are quickly disappearing, giving way to technologies like MP3s. Nowadays, I usually purchase digital downloads and load them onto a memory stick to plug into my devices and my car that has a USB port.
