Any man with so much Brylcreem in his hair could only be of poor moral fibre.

It's so nice to see another dapper Dan man in the wild!

He suffers from unsightly flakes, neuritis and neuralgia.

At first glance, it looks like Everett is holding an e-reader

[–] clark@midwest.social 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I wonder what kind of e-books he'd indulge in. Guesses, anyone?

"Rage" by Stephen King

"Grapes of Wrath" by Steinbeck

"Look Back in Anger" by John Osborne

and, of course, Attack on Titan.

Congratulations! Enjoy being an aunt! Recommend 10/10, or 29/29 if you have 29, like me.

I think that to Everett, his nephew looks pretentious and self-important.

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

The pose in the nephew's photo is imitative, probably copying a famous author or artist.

[–] clark@midwest.social 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I guess he's not a fan of his nephew. Or receiving visual references.

[–] blackluster117@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He doesn't like that his nephew is an Andrew Ryan edgelord.

Was that pretentious pose a fad at the time? Like duckface?
