imagine even thinking about using ai when a living breathing master of the craft is putting his knowledge on youtube for free

Tiger man dressed in the garbs of a wandering monk (akin to Benkei) carrying three swords. He hefts a basket full of swords and weaponry over his back. A gourd hangs over his waist. His chest has a bluish ectoplasmic quality where his skeletal ribs and jawbone are visible. Illust: Ishton

My favorite part of new starter reveals is people getting upset about which one they think will turn into a furry when it evolves.

I just hope they all stand up.

*panicking because my dad is calling my phone*
me: WHO DIED? is mom ok?!
my dad: Rachel, what is One Piece

memories are short. reminder of this crushing statement from (one) woman:

"I dropped my dream of being a comic artist shortly after and fell into a depression while I tried to figure out how I could have my future still be art related. I’ve hardly read a comic since.”

Image wants you to forget that multiple women have accused Jason Latour of sexual harassment and assault, and that he specifically used his position in the industry as leverage against them. Cool!

Watching Delicious in Dungeon with the kids and we’re talking about ai and cognitive death.

I've been getting back into comics while I wait for more info from my concept job, and I thought I'd make a post about something very important to me, which is COMIC PANEL VARIATION and HOW TO THINK ABOUT IT.

happy birthday, DJ! 💖

Nightlight of Sonic the Hedgehog. It has a circular black base, and the acrylic shape is lit up blue.

what’s the point of having a laser cutter if I can’t use it to make a Sonic the Hedgehog nightlight for my nephew

"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!

whataburger cup on a spigot

my favorite thing about a texas freeze is the very serious advice from the news and government on how to use a whataburger cup to insulate your outdoor spigots.

it is always a whataburger cup.

ICE posing as utility workers to detain immigrants, Gresham lawmaker warns Oregon state Rep. Ricki Ruiz said three people were detained in his district after ICE agents posed as utility workers.

An Oregon lawmaker is warning of ICE agents posing as utility workers. NW Natural and Portland General Electric have published guidance in several languages on how to tell if a person is actually one of their employees.

I stopped using sticker mule absolute ages ago because of the owner’s bullshit. The owner is still on his bullshit, so if you use sticker mule, maybe don’t. StickerAPP is a good alternative, and also there’s most likely a local sticker printer near you (Sticker Ninja in Portland, for example).

Just before Christmas, I got a puppy. Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie. I'm still learning how to understand her. Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo? Do you need to do a widdle piddle? Minnie: Arf! *I just call her "little baby" most of the time. I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now. Nobody tells you about that.

I got so lucky with my first puppy. Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now. Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport.

I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers. I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless. The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective. I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition. ICE will pick up anybody. I know that. So I tucked my passport away. And I largely avoid leaving my house.

I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too. And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized. We'll do our best to get through this. Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis.

re: SDCC allowing GenAI into their art show. SDCC costs creators *thousands* of dollars to attend and they think this is ok?

Readers, attendees, and creators alike need to let them know there’s no place for GenAI in the arts, period.

here’s their contact page www.comic-con.org/contact/

I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things.

This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

god, I miss having him as my senator, and mail-in voting. I went from having the best to having the worst (Texas).

thank god for anime, it’s what’s keeping me marginally sane in this bad timeline

I got really excited because my friend sent me the Rouge the Bat “Pissing All By Yourself, Handsome?” t-shirt

My husband was really confused, so I explained it and then I asked him how he feels being married to a meme lord.

His response was “It’s fine. There are worse things to be married to.”

Reading comics counts as reading. Reading graphic novels counts as reading. Reading fan fiction counts as reading. Listening to audio books counts as reading. Reading a 10k word Tumblr treatise on Star Trek/Dr Who parallels counts as reading.

HEY PUBLISHERS: pay attention to this entire thread; and recognize that a HUGE part of the problem is assigning comics projects to editors with no comics knowledge or experience. Editing comics is a discrete discipline, and when you don't recognize that, you fuck both creators and yourself over.
