These comics/puzzles from the XKCD creator's grandfather are absolutely delightful
My mom sent me some papers that belonged to my grandfather, Darwin Randall Crum, which included a collection of “Disfrustrating Puzzles” he created
![COIN ARRAY PUZZLE
You have nine coins, arranged as shown below. Which coin can you remove, (being careful not to touch the others), so that only eight coins remain?

![DISCONNECT THE DOTS PUZZLE
If you very carefully erase the lines which connect the dots you will find a common household pet waiting to catch a mouse. Be sure you erase only the lines connecting consecutive numbers. (Hint: Start at number one.)

You shouldn’t talk shit about another creator’s art if you can help it.
But if you’re going to talk shit about another creator’s work, it really helps if your work isn’t fucking atrociously terrible.
Just a protip there.

I loved the first Rocky movie. Had the movie poster in my room growing up.
But there’s no way I could endorse or promote anything from Stallone, including the new movie about the movie.
Knowing the creator’s values are antithetical to mine absolutely ruins the creation.

It is continuously flabbergasting to me that Xians don't understand their own theology well enough to know that free will was the Creator's plan, and that compulsion was the Devil's.

meteion. something about a created girl thing designed to be a recipient of all her (heavily closeted) creator's wishes and woes being deeply discomfited by that identity resonates with me

Made an OC Villain for “Calling all Villains”
This is Graffi-D.
she is a graffiti drawing of her creator's daughter who had died in an accident. her creator's business partner stole her and tried marking her as his own, so she jumped out of 2d and into 3d to get revenge. (1/2)
