And that’s that! Now to sit back and enjoy @danschkade.bsky.social’s strip while he does ALL of the work. Dan’s a force of nature, I have no idea how he sustains the output by himself, and keep it consistently great at the same time

If you’re having trouble telling them apart, Geese sounds like the members of the Strokes were drafted into Pavement against their will, and Goose sounds like 4 CPAs were hired to form a jam band sponsored by Whole Foods.
