This is genuinely how my father cleans and organizes. You can't find anything, you can't get anything you can find because the whole stack will collapse, and all the shit on bottom gets broken.

He's amazing at packing a U-Haul or the car when going on a trip or moving, though.

This is my hole! It was made for me!

And suddenly the baby and the mess disappear

Making it fully clean,

All he did was follow the instructions.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can get a screen like panel 2 outside of vs (and no link cable is shown). It has an odd number of pieces, but each new tetromino adds 4, and each line clear deletes 10, so you always have an even number on screen. Does B-type sometimes start with an odd amount of "trash"?

I really hope someone lost their job over that blunder

The grid is only 9 blocks wide in the comic, so it's already wrong in that regard

[โ€“] bss03@infosec.pub 5 points 1 day ago

Ah, must be a knock-off. Killing 27 after adding 28 would definitely give that extra.

This cartoonists is the originator of the Blobby White Guys One Step Up From Stickpeople For Lazy Cartoonists style & one of the few who can totally get away w it.

That's because he can draw with intricate detail when he chooses to, if the joke calls for it:

He even adds a ton of detail/shading to simple shapes to give it a more realistic look:

https://pbfcomics.com/comics/shocked/

Or he sometimes juxtaposes simple facial expressions on more detailed drawings:

And it's pretty great when he just adopts another art style:

https://pbfcomics.com/comics/punch-bout/

He's legitimately a great artist.

Yes, it's even evident in the rendering of the backgrounds of this posts' featured comic.

Also, he is a great writer with fantastic pacing.

His influence is well deserved but I wish people had maybe taken more from his work than, "oh, I can just draw white blobby guys?"

I dunno, maybe it's fine & I'm just old & cranky.

Also, he is a great writer with fantastic pacing.

Absolutely. Pretty much each one of his comics uses the right number of panels for the core idea, including the use of different sizes panels as necessary to improve the overall impact of each panel, and to control the pacing. Like this one.

PBF is still my favorite comic on the internet, about 20 years after it was first introduced to me.

This is an atrocious stack. That L piece is a disaster

[โ€“] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

a rare miss from pbf, i think having two completely separate sets of items in the messy & clean rooms makes it less fun

It could have been pushed forward but there's some clear overlap: The desk, the orange box, the purple files, the boxing glove.
