This is page one of a black and white comic with a simplified, cartoony style by the artist Mycorob. He depicts himself in this comic and will be referred to as Robin.

Inkling and Nibford are sitting on top of the first panel. Above the first panel it says the title of the comic: Happy anniversary!

Panel 1: Robin is sitting at his desk and drawing. He wears glasses, has short hair, and is wearing a dark hoodie. He turns around and speaks directly to the reader and says: Oh hey there! Did you know that the cartoonist cooperative is three years old now?

Panel 2: Robin points to the left and says: I found them through a good friend. Said friend is depicted as an anthro skink and poking out of a small round panel in the corner. Above the round panel it says the name Hye. 

Panel 3: Robin continues: And I joined them last year in August.

Panel 4: Robin is standing next to Nibford and Inkling and pointing toward his own speech bubbles. Nibford and Inkling have very muscular arms in this panel and link their hands in solidarity. Robin continues his speech: First and foremost, The Cartoonist Cooperative is a member-driven organization working to improve and protect the labor rights of comic industry workers worldwide. But they also do quite a lot more!
Page 2.

Robin is jumping into the page with Nibford in his hands. Inkling stands at the front and raises his fist. Everyone is smiling and ink is spilled everywhere. Behind Robin is a crowd of people who are smiling and interacting with each other. Robin continues his speech about the cartoonist cooperative: Through their discord and the forum, I can talk to my peers and give or receive direct help. In my short time I already got tons of tips and learned so much!

On the left are three panels that list examples of things that Robin has been assisted with or gotten advice on. 

The first one shows a pile of comic pages and says: Direct feedback on pages.

The second one shows an iPad next to a graphic display and says: tech support.

The third one shows a woman holding her phone to her ear and says: How to write alt text.
Page 3.

Panel 1: Close-up of Robin. His eyes are closed and he is thinking to himself: But the most important advice that I got so far was.

Panel 2: Shows Robin grabbing a version of himself from 6 months ago and shaking him. He yells at his old version: Make comics! To get better you simply have to make comics! Stop waiting!

Panel 3: Close-up of Robin looking at his phone and looking really worried. The background is darker now. The text in the panel says: Especially during times like these. With the rise of Artificial Intelligence and more and more censorship.

Panel 4: Robin notices a crowd of happy people coming toward him. It breaks him out of his bad mood and he looks toward them. The text continues: Finding community and supporting eachother is more important than ever before.

Panel 5: Robin is lying on his side on the ground and smiling. Inkling is sitting on his knee and doing a thumbs-up. Nibford is sitting next to them and resting against Robin’s leg. Robin says to the reader: So you can join the cartoonist cooperative now if you make comics in any capacity.

Inkling adds to that: You can also join as a volunteer!

The end.

The @cartoonist.coop is 3 years old now!! 🥳🎈
To commemorate this occasion, I made a short comic sharing some of my experiences and thoughts. I am eternally grateful for this space and all the work they do 💖

A graphic announcing the Cartoonist Cooperative’s Anti-Censorship statement. Art shows the Co-op's mascots Inkling and Nibford busting through a wall of black bricks, revealing red comic panels behind it. Text in a word balloon reads "Free Expression Now!" In the second image, black text reads “The Cartoonist Cooperative Demands Free Expression: A Statement Against Censorship in Comics and the Arts” on a background of whited out red comic panels. The third image shows the same whited-out red comic panels and reads “The Cartoonist Cooperative is committed to forging a world where all are allowed the freedom to create and partake in art where all are free to choose and engage with a wide range of political, moral, and aesthetic ideas, beyond those held by any single institution, government, or religious group. Censorship is always a tool of the state to suppress dissent, fracture communities, and instill ignorance and fear. The Cartoonist Cooperative is firmly anti-censorship in all forms.”

The Cartoonist Cooperative collectively stands against censorship and views it as our communal responsibility to fight for freedom of speech. We are committed to forging a world where all are allowed the freedom to create and partake in art!

enjoyed Sally Mann's creative memoir a lot. “To be an artist means you must declare a loyalty to your art form and your vision that runs deeper than almost any other, even sometimes deeper than blood kinship, and certainly deeper than those trifling laws protecting land ownership.”

my partner has been watching The Sopranos for the first time during their recovery and it’s been amazing to re-experience brutal existential Italian-American horror but also how fucking funny it is LOL

i’ve been making art almost every day as i recover from top surgery, a process(ing) that is difficult to describe and highly volatile, like all massive transformations. i made a small book when i started to emerge from the opiated twilight and feel things. here’s the cover ❤️‍🩹 #art #trans
