No, seriously! Luke gets dumped on his whole life—his adoptive parents get killed, all his friends get injured or killed, the girl he falls in love with turns out to be his sister, his father turns out to be one of the most evil people in the galaxy, his hand gets cut off. Then he gets a chance to co-rule the galaxy. Who wouldn’t take that offer at that point?

I hate election time. Too much negativity. And this one is definitely descending quickly into the depths. So a friend sent me this link, and it made me smile. The English translation is not literal, but rather what the lyrics sound like in English. For your viewing pleasure:

Given it’s election time, the taxpayer bailout of the rich and powerful, and so many other things, I thought this would be helpful and appropriate: collection of videos that make you feel better - Featured on BuzzFeed.

This would be helpful with artist’s statements as well:

Salvation is here!

I love this strip. If you are a photographer, you should definitely be checking out, What the Duck.

Now I’m a tech guy as much as the next person, but this is definitely one of my pet peeves. Have you ever asked someone else about their impression of one of your photos only to have them ask about your equipment, lens, camera, etc.? Drives me up the wall. I’ve had this same experience as depicted in the strip. I was invited to a ‘camera club’ to only find members discussing the technical specs of camera equipment and who had the ‘bigger’ lens - no photos around to speak of. I’m pretty sure that most of the members hadn’t even taken a photograph anytime recently, but they could quote the websites that measure all the technical data.
