Aww. He died.

I’m sad Arnie lost a good friend. Arnie is a questionable human, but still no one deserves to lose a life long friend

The only bad thing I know about him is that he’s Republican. Is there more?

Why does his ear change from oblong to round

Looks like the image is just too compressed to distinguish his ear from his head

I love the sequence here. He’s been thinking of that move for 40 years

“Pawns can only move one space, except for their first move, when they can move two” - Statement by the utterly deranged.

I’m already keeping track of the kings and rooks for castling reasons. Remembering whether any of the 16 pawns has moved is too overwhelming and turns IRL chess into a game of who can get away with the other player’s bad memory.

Err… Maybe I just missed the joke, but… If the pawn is in its initial position it means it hasn’t moved yet.

Something about a table made for chess bothers me. IDK why though. It makes sense.

That’s not a table. It’s a thick chess board with a pedestal.
