February 2013 Wallpaper
Shaenon: I felt like doing an illustration with a whole ton of red, and Valentine’s Day is a perfect excuse. As usual, if you make a donation in any amount to the Skin Horse Tip Jar, I will send you a link to the wallpaper. Each wallpaper acomes in two different aspect ratios (regular screen and widescreen) to fit most computer monitors, and in both Mac-friendly and PC-friendly orientations.
And as a bonus, your donation will also get you this classic Alice in Wonderland-themed wallpaper:

My Skin Horse valentine,
Cute Skin Horse valentine,
It’s full of chibis, so sweet!
We see the kids in class
As secret notes they pass,
See, all the girls think Tip is neat!
Tigerlily, Leo, Lee …
Sweetheart, Nick, and Unity …
Chris, Mendoza, and Mar-cie
Can’t be beat!
See Remy sitting there
With Brian in his hair!
This Skin Horse valentine’s great!
So, people, kindly … donate!
I realize kid Nick would still be human, but I feel like he should be a sentient Power Wheels or something.
Well, if it’s consistency what we’re going for, the filename story said that Tip started “dressing well” in Afghanistan when he was already in the army.
And Unity was only created a few years ago, full size. She effectively IS a child.
Unity playing dress-up is Puppy Bowl-level adorable.
Oh! The kid with the afro IS Bernice/Tigerlily!
For a moment, I thought Ruby was Chris with short hair because she was standing next to Marcie.
…so… I guess Sweetheart wore glasses in kindergarten? Or her uncle/aunt did?
There’s a lot going on here. Tiny Chris is staring longingly at tiny Marcie. Nick is staring at Ginny who is staring at Sergio. Sweetheart and Unity are playing with a valentine card together. Tigerlily is delivering valentines via clockwork. Tip is sitting happy and oblivious with ALL the valentines and gerbil!Artie, who may, if I’m lucky, be looking at Sergio. I’m not sure what’s up with Leo, Remy and Brian. They seem entertained by Tigerlily, but in-comic I don’t think they’ve ever met.
Also, LOOK AT ALL THE CUTENESS! Squeeeeeeeee!
