someone please take photoshop away from me

Phew! It’s finished! Thank you to @embergeist and @mllebree for your help with some of the ASL. It’s been fun dusting off the cobwebs and relearning some sign language I’d forgotten over the years. I’m still playing around with the best ways to have Quasi “talk.” A lot of sign language involves motion which is tricky in static images. I did leave out some pronouns here and there like “I, me, her, etc” just to try to avoid Quasi looking too much like an octopus.

Do you remember the Disney-animated film The Hunchback of Notre Dame? It wasn’t a hit, but it was there. It’s just sort of what we got that year.

Huh. Solarpunk Notre Dame. I know people feel that this one building in Europe is getting Way Too Much Attention, but I have to say this is a cool redesign.

“It is one of a number of designs submitted after the French government announced an international competition to design a new roof after the old, timber roof was burnt down in the devastating fire earlier this year.“
