MAYA KERN PETTICOATS IN STOCK HUGE NEWS FOR PEOPLE LOOKING TO BE MORE WHIMSICAL LIKE A FUN COURT JESTER IN 2026

Key illustration containing the title of the webcomic (The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya, 10th Anniversary Edition, by Reimena Yee). Within a stylised depiction of Istanbul's Blue Mosque, a tearful Zeynel is embraced and comforted in the arms of Ayse, his collar and neck soaked in blood. His long coat, a kaftan embroidered in gold florals and flames, is splayed on a floor-sized Usak carpet. The couple is surrounded by gold-foiled tulips, roses and poppies. Woven and sitting amongst the flowers are Zeynel's pets (a white raven and black rat); his English friend Alfred; and his vampire sire, Mora Strigoi. Lanterns are hung from the stems and leaves. Behind Zeynel and Ayse, their family members watch from the columns of the mosque. One of them is a young woman weaving a carpet, the other is a stately grandfather writing a book. A mysterious shadowy figure looms further away. A giant nightingale and bat face each other, framing the title. The illustration is in mostly monochromatic shades of blue, save for the gold of the flowers and embroidery; the bright red of Zeynel's turban, blood and Mora's attire; and finally, the white of the raven, moon and title.

🌹 10 years ago, I launched THE CARPET MERCHANT OF KONSTANTINIYYA, and it changed my life forever.
To celebrate, the 10th Anniversary Edition of my very first completed #webcomic will begin February 18, 2026 - updates every Wednesday + Saturday.

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

January 16, 1 pm, Richfield (just south of the Minneapolis border) fweet fweet honk honk HOOOOONK "Oh, jeez."

A van with tinted windows pulls into the parking lot of the strip mall, with a few cars on its tail.

This intersection's full of potential targets, even with all the locked foors and closures. Cafe, restaurant (closed), grocery store, school (went virtual this week). This isn't a crisis that ends at 60th Street.

But the observers show up here, too. To my knowledge, the van drives off after five minutes without taking anyone.

Five minutes, twenty degrees, a dozen people. #IceOutComics #IceOutMpls

It may just be that I have mainlined 390 whimsical medieval craft videos and this has influenced what the thumbnail fonts are like but I think I’m seeing it in other videos too

The kids are really into gothic fonts this year huh

as someone who absolutely loathed drawing armored characters over a year ago what helped me out was drawing a rough silhouette of the shapes on the body then defining them

The first thing I draw every year is a picture of myself. I don’t share them because I’ve made the conscious decision to be more private about my personal information online, but I like how I look, cartoon and not. 🙂‍↕️

I never do yearly art summaries. I only draw when I feel like it 🙂‍↕️ sometimes I take a few weeks off but before I notice it, I feel like drawing again.
