      Let’s be honest, he TRUEly deserved to get his ass kicked for blowing out dude’s match. I know this was the early 1900’s, but you don’t fuck with a smoker’s nicotine. Just don’t.

    Love to see the proper use of “Woe Betide”, let’s bring it into more frequent use. Example: Woe betide she who spills my pumpkin spice latte!

      Yeah I screenshot and crop. When I include the title, I use the pdf so the title search words aren’t highlighted.

      I usually don’t do any further editing, but In this case the scanned image was a little “faded”-looking, so I messed with the contrast and brightness a bit in GIMP. Maybe it wasn’t enough.
