reddit post by user notheranymore2 which is titled "Wait ....... gherkins are just pickled cucumber???" and reads " I was showing my son the pickled shallots I'd prepared and he asked why we don't try gherkins like in McDonald's So a quick Internet search is selling me that gherkins are picked baby cucumber?? We have had so many mini mumch cucumbers that weve been throwing them in the compost (after handing some out in work and to neighbours) Could i have been making gherkins this whole time????"
the rockwell freedom of speech image but pixellated so his head is 4 squares accross.
the photo from the OP's thread, but i have replaced the irish woman in a dress with a cropped version of the Continuity IRA having a press conference. (chap in a balaclava, beret, and trench coat)
Relatively famous Crumb sketch of a very short and hunched man thinking to himself "I loathe every person I see on the street. Lookit that stupid ass-hole" as he stares at a whistling guy in a denim vest and trucker hat, helpfully labelled "normal guy".
A screencap from the opening sequence of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark where Jones gazes at a golden idol on a pedestal, with the idol replaced by a gold-tinted version of the illustrated wooden carving of a dog.
all of the following are photos taken by me at the Manchester Whitworth's exhibition on Ukiyo-e woodcut prints by Hokusai and Hiroshige. This one is from Rice Market at Dojima from the serious Famous Views of Osaka. Among the hubub of the rice market, someone is talking loudly to his friend. His mouth splits his face open like a slice taken out of a melon. He looks like Pac-man.
The castellan (played by Paul Jerricho) looking very silly in his huge time lord collar/hat.
Bipedal and straight-backed Garf giving the peace signs. He's in a black bucket hat with the oasis logo (text replaced with "salem"), circular sunglasses, maroon shirt under a tan coat with fluffy collar, blue jeans, and trainers.
Cover to The wonderful and frightening world of the fall. A sorta expressionist angular smiling/screaming guy running while holding money is one hand. I don't know the artist, sorry.
All of the following are pictures of a children's book against a red carpet. The pages are shiny, and the tabs have been flipped to reveal a dinosaur. Here, a rather gormless orange thing which I would call a Triceratops is saying "Grrr!". The text on the back of the flap says "We done, Peppa" says Grampy Rabbit. "You've found the spiky-tailed dinosaur." The tail is not shown in this picture, but it is spiky.
A tuxedo cat sitting on an oriental rug. His back paws are splayed so he must be sitting on his hip, and he is turned to look at me as he heard me cleaning my phone camera. He is back-lit by strong sunlight.
A baking tray with 4 unevenly sized, slightly caught, bread rolls. Each has a slight divot at the crown which is paler, the only remains of the hole punched through.
a close up of kenny's face from the poster being discussed. Mostly blue, though with a bit of red on the right hand side. I mostly cropped it because of how much eye-white he's showing in his stare.
a crude version of that "who must go" assad meme. Four panels, first chalamet in a pink hoodie, with bold impact fotn saying "opera is irelevant". Second panel is pavarotti singing into a microphone, with a hand gesturing to the crowd, impact font saying "who is irrelvant?", fourth panel, chalamet looking kinda glum in a theatre, wearing a tux, fourth panel is pavarotti smiling and shaking hands.
a crude edit of the "my neighbour told me coyotes keep eating his outdoor cats..." text, with key words blanked out via rounded-edge rectangles with calibri text in various font sizes replacing them. It now reads with alterations in square brackets, "My [fisherman] told me [the sea] keep eating his [apprentices] so i asked how many ['prentice] he has and he said he just goes to the [workhouse] and gets a new [boy] afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding [apprentices] to [the sea] and then his [finacée] started crying. I have also replaced the profile picture with a famous black and white headshot of Benjamin Britten. The editing is particularly crude, with jaggedy pixels on either side. I didn't bother to change the username or handle.
A photo of a doorway in Cambridge. The door itself is out of shot but the wooden semi-circular transome window is. In the red brick is a deeper red tile semi circle around the transom, about a foot deep. The cornerstone of this arch is a fucked up lions face, its jaw agape, trailing ribbons or some such, ensconced in a decorative scroll. The cornerstone is supporting a gable window which is also out of shot.
a screengrab of the K.A.F. web-site, specifically their "cookie & bar recipes" page. The "Sort" option is open, and a cursor hovers over the "Rating: Low to High" setting. I photoshopped the cursor in, seemed easier than figuring out how to take a screencap with the cursor included.
Kier Starmer, photographed riding in the passenger seat of a car, seen from the front through the windshield which gives everything a bluish tint. He's looking tired and fed up
A photo by reddit user Diagon98. Originally submitted in a post titled "They keep getting into my house. I've no clue how, lol. Starling are too smart for their own good." 2 starlings, held in a white, left, hand. one of the birds, nearer the crook of the thumb, has its back to us, its feet presumably against their palm. it's looking forward, so we can't see its face. the second bird is rotated so its feet would be resting against the first starling. Its wings are firmly held under the thumb. Its turned so we can see its profile, and the eye looks to me aggrieved. softly out of focus, the background is some home office, with light-yellow walls, wooden floors, a cheez-it box containing random other containers. A boxer dog noses its way in.
A print of Matis' painting the Pink Tablecloth, much sun-faded, the only surviving colour is shades of blue. The painting itself is of a still life, lemons on a raised dish, sunflowers in a vase, patterned curtains, all in blue. I guess it kinda looks artistic like a Matis should. You can see the reflection of a building in the glass frame protecting the print.
A post from twitter, a user posted a drawing of a skeleton dude in a black jacket, cap, face-mask, ICE-branded tactical vest, holding a smoking gun. Beneath it, is a reply "So, you'd just let anyone walk into your house? Got it." which gets a reply from the artist "This is a pro ICE drawing". I've redacted all the user-names and avatars, and blurred the artist's signature
I believe this is the original, presumably serious, illustration for "what if the HS2 served Stratford Upon-Avon. Posted by RussellNorrisPiastri, it's a mock up of the intended route between London and Birmingham, but with a fairly short sput leading to Stratford Upon-Avon. The map includes a detail of the acceleration of the HS1 train.
A generative ai poster from a local venue offering their selection of hot drinks. It includes a latte which is just a pint, an earl grey tea in a tiny cup , Moroccan mint teas with full leaves on stems, and an extra, larger mint tea hanging out, unlabeled.

a screengrab from r slash CuratedTumbler of post by reddit user Lemon_Lime_Lily, titled "my fav niche sub is incorgnito" which is of a screengrab from tumblr user evil scheme which reads "currently addicted to r/TVTooHigh" and has two screengrabs of posts from that subreddit. You can't really read those screengrabs because the reddit user failed to post the screenshots, and I cropped my screengrab faily agressively.
Scraped screen grab of alan Rickman as richter from Die Hard looking somewhat surprised.
a cat yawns as it is being stroked on the head. immediately, the stroking hand moves to place its index finger across the cat's open mouth, across the molars. the cat starts to close its jaws, notices the finger, and moves its head away to close its mouth without biting down. Afterwards, it turns to look at the owner of the hand with an expression that can be read as incredulity and irritation.
the one publicity still from The Whale (2022) Brendan Fraiser, in a fat-suit and bathrobe, looks sensitive and hurt in a kitchen.
bird drawing from reddit user starryswim. On a dark background, a drawing of a bird from some kind of digital paint program. It has a sort of finger-paint but crayon look to it. The bird is standing, mostly blue except for white throat, belly, legs, and a grey bar down its wings and across its head to it beak. Its beak is black and there's a white line over its eye. The eye and the beak are uncoloured, letting the black background show through, though the beak is picked out in a fine white line. There's a splash of blue at the tip of the beaak. The feet are also picked out in that fine white line, and the legs are perfectly straight. Users identified it as a scrub jay.
a portrait of a doctor. a man in a white shirt is pointing at a skull on a desk while resting his elbow on an occasional table. the skull is black with white outlines, black with neon-blue outlined objects invade the painting - triplets of circles like fidget spinners crawl down his pointing finger. In front of the figure, floating rectangles looking diagramatically phallic with two blue circles at the bottom end and a claw-like protrustion at the top. either side of his head are powdery blue rams horns that aren't precisely attatched. the doctor is bald, his face is replaced with a black circle enclosing two white triangles pointing at each other, resembling the extinction rebellion hourglass logo. his face and neck also sports more phalluses and fidget spinners and small black holes
screen grab of a post from r/cheltenham. reddit user "CarOnMyFuckingFence" posted "So who walked out of the Halloween secret screening at Cineworld last night?" The top-voted reply is from reddit user TeaRake asking "What happened?". OP responded "So the screening was advertised as a "classic" film (pick out iconic 80s slasher etc). Film in question was The Terrifier 3 [title italicised], a film with enough gore to sink the Titanic. All signs reading the socials point to a bunch of people weren't happy with this."
drawing by reddit user hmworm, seemingly sketched on paper with crayons and then photographed, the left and bottom sides of the photo show a light-coloured text. Two drawings of a sphericall bird, both looking to the right. Hemi-spherical, I guess, as its belly is round but back is pretty flat. A small-ish wing juts out the back, and the skull is a bit proud of the rest of the body. The body is shaded grey, a yellow splash crown the bird, and there's a suggestion of brown on the wing. Two knots of black lines mark the feet. I would say it's a simplistic drawing, but functional, as the bird was identified as a Golden-crowned Kinglet in short order.
a sketch of a bird by reddit user broken_lampshade. a profile of a beige/grey bird, drawn by a phone app giving it a finger-paint quality. The unshaded color over-spills the outlines, the black-dot of the eye gives it a doofy aspect. the legs are rather fluid right angles that have a caligraphic quality. The comments concluded it was probably a grey wagtail, more from the description of its behaviour than from the sketch.
My cat, looking rotund laying on the floor. You can see his legs been shaved.
photo scraped from Mizuki's twitte profile, I don't know the credit for the original photographer. In a dynamic pose, Mizuki shows off her new black outfit. She's standing her left foot on the top turnbuckle, her right foot presumably on the second-rope. She's pointing to the left, her arm up and extrended straight, her smiling face turned to follow it. her right arm is resting against her hip. I lied, and she's not standing on the top turnbuckle, but on the head of her opponent (Haru Kazashiro I think) who is trapped in the corner, her sternum against the turnbuckles, her head bent uncomfortably, her face a mask of pain. The outfit is very similar to her previous outfits, but the main material is now black (with rhinestones) instead of pink. there are still strong accent colours of white, and lots of lace.
Cgi mockup of the garden bridge. 2 bronzey goldy pilons flattening out towards the top, with lots of trees on top, somewhere across the Thames in London. A tourist boat has just passed under the bridge and a couple walk past looking at the bridge as a viable tourist destination.

In a kitchen setting, a pinkish hand in a white oven gloves. Fingertips are visible through black scorch marks.
The ink thief, a bald, silver man with dark rings around his eyes, a purple coat, and a green patterned waistcoat. Next to him is his cat servant Toddy, who looks at him adoringly. Toddy is wearing a black beanie, an orange, dark green, and blue striped tee, has fur patterns painted on his face and is has big furry paws.
screencap of a reddit post, submitted to the morrissey subreddit. Original poster has a username Melancolic_monster09, but that information's not visible. The title is "I ordered Moz Autobiography at World of books "very good condition"". The post is a picture of a hand holding the book up to a phone camera, which is published by Penguin Classics. Above a blue-toned photo of Morrisey smiling with his eye's closed, the silver band with the black Author's name "Morrissey", a dark grey title "Autobiography", to which a vandal with a green marker has added "of a twat"
today's computoon by charles boyce. Beneath a sign reading "Online software www.sniff.com", a lumpy-headedclerk appears to be talking to a huge dog wearing a collar with tag saying "DELETE", who, in turn, appears to be talking to a small, lumpier-headed boy. The caption reads "It is not what you think. It's a cooking we site." It's impossible for me to say who's speaking, the clerk or the dog. Elements of cut and paste are visible on the sign, which is shaded with a simple gradient, that is interrupted by "software" and whited out entirely for "www.sniff.com". The underside of the sign is a mess of lines from previous placements. The clerk is standing in a box of white. He is standing in front of a glass-fronted display cabinet, where some goods have been erased, and a tiny desktop-pc is placed instead. The screen of the monitor extending slightly into the air around it. The url for gocomics is at an angle, and is cut off by the panel of the strip. The url is partially obscuring an old signature.
The cigarette is upwards, its smoke descending to the right.
my recollection of the babadook. top hat, red eyes, an approximation of a buttoned-up coat, and long scary fingers.
Screencap from r/tattoodesigns. The OP reads "I recently just got done a quarter sleeve and there's tiny little bumps showing up on my arm and it's getting itchy. This isn't my first tattoo and it has never happened to me before. Should I be concerned?" The highest up voted reply (at 176 votes) reads "I'd go to urgent care dude, White pus looking discharge and redness + itchiness are definite signs of infection." The OP replied "its not white puss, it's more of a clear yellow than white" which has 123 down votes so O had to click through to see it. I've scribbled out the handles of the posters.
I tried to make one of those joker meme things with tinybaby's avatar replacing the joker face and the blusky logo on the card, with the text of his post to the right.
screencap of a post reddit served me for the Oxford subreddit, titled "Video does not show man raging because ‘store that gives illegal migrants free PS5s ran out’". It has 6 upvotes and 1 comment and was posted 6 minutes ago. readable text goes "Hi r/Oxford, We’re a UK-based fact-checking charity called Full Fact. We’ve recently done a check of a video being shared online that claims it shows a rage incident after an Oxford City Council scheme to give out free PlayStation 5s to “illegal migrants” ran out of the consoles. Not here for clicks, just to share some good info with the community. Important bits in bold, including links to sources. What was claimed A video shows an “illegal migrant” in the UK losing his temper after a store that “gives illegal migrants free PlayStation 5s on behalf of Oxford City Council” ran out of consoles. Our verdict This isn’t true. While we can’t verify the immigration status..."
An Abie the Agent strip from 1915, by Harry Hershfield. Lots of cross-hatching, and the newsprint is smudgey. Abie runs along the blocky deck of the back of a house boat. He is wearing a swimming costume and his hands are ready to dive. He says "Camping on a house boat here in arverne is already beautiful. While Morris is yet unwaked I'll give a dive off in the water. It's positive safe around here!". 2nd panel, Abie has dived in, and is reaching up. His arm only stretches halfway up the hull. He says "Oy, gevald! I couldn't reach up back again to the deck!". 3rd panel, Morris is now doggy paddling determinedly around the boat, yelling "Morris!". 4th panel, from the other side, the hull is no lower, he reaches no further. He says "No, it don't reach! I'm lost! If I only had something for stending on - oy, I'm getting cremps!" 5th panel, he is now paddling around to the front of the boat, again yelling "Morris!" 6th panel, a close up a Abie's hand, drawn in greater detail. You can see his hand is dripping wet, and he is clinging onto a single nail jutting out, his index finger curled around it. There's some suggestions of tremors in the cross-hatching, but I do not know if that's intentional. He yells, in a larger font size, speech balloon's tail thickly dangling to below the panel "MORRIS".
the moonrise picture of earth seen from the moon, with the drawing of a dog in a cone (with rough colours) imposed on the moon's surface.
An Out Our Way from 30/8/1947, by J.R. Williams. The art is charismatic, with heavy use of crosshatching. This strip is titled The Short Arm of the Law. Looking at a cliff-face, quite high above the ground, two lumpen police officers lay down on their stomachs, hanging themselves over the edge. They are holding a startled child, each one holding him by a fore-arm. Their faces are dispassionate. The kid is wide-eyed and sweaty. He is holding a torch in one hand, and has both his feet in a circular hole a little way down the cliff face. One of the cops is saying "Just hand out some of th' bones that's reportedly in there. An' don't be scared-- remember we're right here!"
poochy from the simpsons, having turned to the camera, announcing his sudden departure.
Take It From The Tinkersons strip for 28/8, by Bill Bettwy. 4 panels, art is just talking heads, sitting at a desk drinking coffee. 1st panel: a moustached coworker is telling dad tinkerson "I didn't want to tell HR about Tony and Susan's relationship." 2nd panel: "...but seeing him with her made me so mad and jealous." 3rd panel, a second coworker is now in between the two, presumably having walked past from the right. He says "Did you guys hear? Tony's been murdered." 4th panel, dad Tinkerson is looking mildly thoughtful or concerned. Moustach guy is looking maybe embarassed? He says "Not that mad and jealous."
miu watanabe sitting down in the middle of the ring. In her pink gear she's staring fixedly at some point, her mouth open in a slack-jawed smirk. her hair is mussed and she's got a cut below her left eye. nicely, a banner with TJPW, the initials of the promotion she wrestlers for, is in the background, readable but fuzzily out of focus

On a wire cooling rat, 8 cylinders of dough sit, covered in over-dilute icing. One has been a bit torn.
An old newspaper strip, Polly and Her Pals by Sterrett. Dated 1914, titled Willie's Memory isn't very Good. Two squat, big-headed characters are sitting down on a couch in a void. Both are wearing formal attire, ie they're coloured in black but ornate collars pop out in white. One is male, with greased back hair and a moustache. One is female, with curly hair, buns, and a hair-band. In the first panel, the female one says "Gimmie time, Willie. I'm yourn all right but I'm turrible young yet I am." "Aw, but listen Delicia, Listen". Second panel, a new figure, simillarly attired but drawn to differerent proportions. She does not have the macrocephaly of the other two. She is bent at the waist, and she is stepping out as far as her skirt allows her, allowing a glimpse of stocking and an outline of thigh. Her face, though not very detailed, is presented to the viewer in profile She is making her way from the left of the panel to the right. The female figure on the couch continues to lean into the male one. The male ones eyes extend, his eyebrows shoot out, and he emits a variety of ?s. 3d panel, the girl continues her treck to the right, she is now passed the couch. She is drawn in the exact same crouched pose as before. The male figure is staring at her, not exactly at her ass but at her lower back, thinking of a heart with an arrow through it. Sitting next to him, still leaning but with some distance between them now, she says "I'm listening Willie". 4th panel, Willie, looking dejected and sweaty, says "I fegit wot I was gonna say"
a 4 panel black and white strip. i think the art is clip art so i shant bother to describe it, herb and jamal are just louinging around with expresssions that don't seem to reflect on the dialogue. the short one (herb?) is monologuing across the 4 panels: "they say the latest thing said of this guy.../is just one more of the many, many alleged hoaxes perpetrated by his opposition./whether it's true or not remains to be uncovered.../but when is a hoax NOT a hoax?"
