(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa) BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history. REGINALD: Wow! What's it do? BEARTATO: It... what? REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do? (Beartato thinks.) BEARTATO: I don't know. REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do? EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this! (The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet) MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk! (Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

image of three different shirts with different Greature characters. text is black and in many different fonts: "GREATURES ON SHIRTS! iT'S TRUE! $25 EACH OR GET ALL THREE WITH THE CODE 3GREATURES3 GET YOUR FAV OR GET THEM ALL" and there is a link to the shirts

We love the Greatures and so do you! SO MUCH that you have mere DAYS left to gather each shirt, and if you get all three at once you can save FIVE SMACKERS (dollars) with code "3GREATURES3"

Panel 1: Shen is keeled over a chess board in his chair at the park, sweating and gritting his teeth. He thinks "NO! I'M GONNA LOSE!! I'M... FALLING INTO DESPAIR..." Panel 2: It shows the chess board, with Shen's clenched fist on it. Shen is playing the white pieces, and his king is on H1 somehow behind 2 rows of 4 pawns. The black king is on B7 and the black queen on D8 threatens checkmate. Panel 3: A bishop comes in from off the board and takes out the black queen. Panel 4: Overly realistic depicting of Shen dramatically beginning to look over his shoulder, into the light. Panel 5: There's a person diagonal from him behind him with a chess board with just the white pieces set up. He has a confident smile. Sunbeams come down behind him and the wind blows the grass gently. Panel 6: Closeup of that person giving a thumbs up as the beginning of the song "Rap is a Man's Soul!" from Gurren Lagann begins to come on, with the lyrics "do the impossible, see the invisible..." The sun is producing a glare reflection off of his thumb somehow. He had moved his D2 pawn forward to D3 to line up the bishop.

Raise your hand if you need a treat!

The second day stranded on a deserted island comes with many challenges… You should probably get two and send one to someone who is marooned on an island somewhere, it just might give ‘em a chuckle.

“Gender Goals” a comic by Jey Pawlik, is done in mint greens and choppy black lineart. Narration: As a kid I watched The Last Unicorn a LOT. A young Jey with long hair is sitting in front of an old CRT TV watching The Last Unicorn. On the screen The Unicorn ponders “What do men know? Because they have seen no unicorns for a while does not mean that we have all vanished. We do not vanish. There has never been a time without unicorns.” The TV scenes are done in a cool blue colour with a static texture overlayed on top.

Jey’s mum pokes her head in with a “!!” and is excited about this development. She flutters around little Jey and says “OH! You’re watching the unicorn movie again? Something CUTE?! Something GIRLY?! Ohhh~ I’m so happy!” much to little Jey’s annoyance. The background behind them has turned from Jey’s usual green to purple with a floral pattern.

Narration: But it wasn’t the unicorn I liked best. The movie now shows The Unicorn and Schmendrick the Magician walking together. The Unicorn says “You may come with me if you like. Though I wish you’d asked for some other reward for having freed me.” Schmendrick responds “Well, I thought about it. But you could never have granted my true wish.” The Unicorn says “No. I cannot turn you into something you are not. I cannot turn you into a true magician.” Read the rest on ohjoysextoy.com

Young @jpawlik.com was drawn to The Last Unicorn for reasons they couldn't explain and that their mother and friends definitely misunderstood. In a time before they had the vocabulary to talk about their gender, at least Jey had Schmendrick.

A drawing of me working. It reads, "I SPENT MOST OF THE FIRST TWO WEEKS WORKING. I FINALLY GOT "CLUB SANDWICH" TO A PLACE AGAIN WITH NO CONTINUITY ERRORS (I HOPE), AND TRANSITIONED ON TO THE DEEP CLEAN-UP."

A drawing of me eating cheesy french fries in the plaza. It reads, "2/20/26 - I ALSO FINALLY GOT CHEESE FRIES AND ATE THEM IN PLAZA INDEPENDENCIA, BUT IT WASN'T THE SAME AS LA JARDIN. OH, AND USUALLY I ENJOY EVEN THE FAKEST-ORANGE CHEEZE, BUT I FOUND THESE TO BE PRETTY GROSS."

A drawing of four people sitting around a ouiji board. It reads, "I SAW THE PLAY "EL JUEGO DE LA COPA" (THE CUP GAME) AT THE UAMÁ THEATER, A COMEDY ABOUT FOUR STRANGERS WHO ARE SUMMONED TO PARTICIPATE IN A SEANCE. I UNDERSTOOD LITTLE, BUT IT WAS FUN."

A drawing of three people acting on stage. It reads, "2/21/26 - I WENT TO THE THE UAMA THEATER AGAIN AND SAW THE PLAY, "TE DEBIA UNA MARGARITA" (I OWE YOU A DAISY) ABOUT THE URUGUAYAN AUTHOR, MAURICIO ROSENCOF. BUT I ACCIDENTALLY SAT NEAR A LOUD MINI SPLIT, SO MY COMPREHENSION (MEANING: BARELY AT ALL) WAS EVEN WORSE THAN USUAL."

Cleaning and PLAYing.

A tall purple hot / cold insulated tumbler with a clear twist on cap with a purple top. Wrapped around the outside of the bottom are various moths. The moths' heads are one large eye with wispy antennae's.

New! A normal hot/cold tumbler with normal moths on them. No weird stuff.
