Steviebear Maxwell's voodoo shaman gets coal in his stocking every year, and that's fine by him! He's ready!

Incidentally, how many of y'all have ever seen a coal fireplace? They're much smaller and heavier built because .. I think .. coal burns significantly hotter than wood? It's probably dangerous to burn coal in a normal wood fireplace but what do I know.

My mom's parents had a coal furnace when she was a small child in the 50s.it got converted to gas later on the early 60s I think. I think coal furnaces where more a thing then a fireplace because of the smoke and fumes

Very dirty when you have alot of people burning them. The great smog of london 1952 killed 12000 people

I've never seen one actually in use but there was a 1910s row house that my church used for extra Sunday School rooms, which had coal fireplaces in the upstairs bedrooms. Antique gas oven in the kitchen too; it was so neat! But they took it out and scrapped it.

I want a doodle of the Duchess doing a pinup pose for a Persoc ad where she's in her daisy dukes and flannel shirt standing in swamp water. Can you draw her torso in profile so we get a good view of how her butt sticks out, plz?

I toured Hohenschwangau Palace in Bavaria back in 2006. The indoor heating (beautifully-decorated stove-type things) were all coal-fired, with passages between the walls for servants to take out the ashes and feed more coal into the stoves. Exhaust was ducted through those same passages to the rooftop chimneys.

Doodle Request: ‘Tis the season for folkloric nightmares. I would like to request a yuletide doodle of Bela the hungry, hungry wendigo. We see her in her usual attire but with a few festive additions. There is a light bulb jammed into her exposed nasal passage to simulate Rudolph’s glowing nose, there is tinsel and maybe a few Christmas ornaments dangling from her antlers, and she is wearing a harness connected to a sleigh. In her hands she is holding a large fruitcake with a massive bite taken out of it. If you feel like drawing it, maybe there is a non-anthropomorphic deer or two cowering behind the sleigh. In the handful of times you’ve drawn her you’ve experimented with drawing her eyes in different ways, my favorite method you used is giving her black eyes with white pupils. As always you have free reign to change whatever you see fit if you think of something better/funnier or just to save time. A very hearty thank you to you for making my rarebit addled fever dreams into a reality, and have a Merry Christmas.

So the servants got to breathe the fumes then? Classic.
