Alright. Serious question time.

Why in the world do microwaves have a button for potato?

A microwave control pad with a button that says "potato."
Potato, potato, potato.

That's pretty specific, right? Why potato? Why not pizza? Soup? Coffee? Takeout? Are we living in a secret society of microwave-baked potato enthusiasts and no one told me?

Can enough people really be nuking spuds so frequently that it justifies a dedicated button? Especially considering how little button real estate these things have.

I say no.

This can only mean one thing: Potatoluminati confirmed.

Entirely unrelated to the Solanum Tuberosum New World Order, I did a bit more art for an old newsletter about the 2018 film Incident in a Ghostland.

Original artwork by J.A. Hernandez portraying Vera from the film 'Incident in a Ghostland,' trapped behind a door and desperately trying to get free. The high-contrast black and beige illustration conveys a sense of fear and entrapment, framed with a film strip motif and displayed against a wooden backdrop.

Original artwork by J.A. Hernandez depicting the character Beth from the film 'Incident in a Ghostland.' The high-contrast black and white illustration features Beth with an eerie expression and the words 'Help Me!!' written beside her, framed with a film strip motif and displayed against a wooden backdrop.

I experimented with film sprockets on these and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. It might be a nice theme to carry over into other film art.

In other news, I've been packing a lot. Cap'n Hammy Pants is a big fan of boxes, and she's been happily overseeing the move.

What's New?
