Going off script Moving through shame to find pride in disabled and queer identity

A piece gorgeously illustrated by @sonaksha.bsky.social, who reinterprets Matisse and does so complete with Chappell Roan and Charli XCX lyrics.

Thanks to Sonaksha and Celestine for helping us find these new scripts.

Yes I will support every comic kickstarter I can, because we need more comics in the world, and comic artists need to be paid fairly. πŸͺ„

All hands together Help Disability Debrief meet the moment

Making independent disability media just got harder, and I need your help. (Please repost)

Disability Debrief is a unique platform putting a disability lens on global news.

The last few months have made this work harder – and also made it more valuable.

I'm usually a planner so drawing these on the go and letting the story unfold for me as it does for you is unnerving and exciting all at once. #hourlycomicday

between the tariffs and genAI it makes any art that crosses your path, indie or mainstream, a hard-fought miracle. really appreciate the creativity you see because artists of all stripes are really working against an avalanche intent on burying us

I think that comic book artists should make a lot of money. For many reasons, including but not limited to

1) art is cool, comics are cool

2) everyone deserves money

3) cartoonists make us happy

4) let’s be honest, they make millions of dollars for everybody else

"this is not the reality of jobs in the comics industry anymore" hey if you see someone making claims like this they're full of shit. no matter which direction you want to go-- self pub, small press, big five house, anything in between-- there will always be people willing to work with your schedule

so funny when someone says they β€˜just’ used chat gpt for some specific thing, clearly hoping extract some kind of β€˜that’s fine then’ sentiment… I’m afraid that’s not going to stop me losing respect for you lol. I wouldn’t ask it for water if I was on fire
