What do you mean?

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Writers write the story they wanted to tell, I don't have any real thoughts about a well-adjusted or better-adjusted Eltingville Club story, except I think it woul dbe dull to wrk on and not very interesting to read.
Some of my other work: Beasts of Burden, Bill & Ted, Blackwood, etc

I believe you!

As always, I'm amazed by the attention these characters still get in this, the horrific year 2026.

Have not! thx

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Larry Hama posted online, “I am getting messages from Comics Gaters claiming that the vast majority of my fans are in their ranks. If this is true, I truly regret the last 40 years of my work. And I have to question the clarity of my writing if so many misinterpreted what I had to say all these years.”

Larry is the best

A legend! I remember bringing pages to her walk-up apartment on the UWS, her ink bottles, the small recliner where she worked in front of the tv. I loved visiting and listening to her stories, though she insisted on rewarding my delivery with a small chocolate. RIP Tatjana.

So sad to share that legendary colorist Tatjana Wood has passed away at the age of 99. Her pioneering painterly touch graced scores of DC & Vertigo series. She was truly one of a kind and a special friend. May her memory be a blessing.

Just learned that Tatjana Wood died recently at age 99. Her colors on things like Morrison/Truog's Animal Man, Simonson's Orion, the O'Neill/Cowan Question, and the Moore/Bissette/Everyone Else Swamp Thing left its marks on me when I was young and impressionable. A major, unsung comics legend.

Thank you so much for the kind comments, btw.

They lied and here's the video proof. I cannot believe we're just gonna keep on like this and absolutely nothing happens

Hey, creators! Quick tip from a curator: if there's a gallery show that charges you for submissions (plus requires you to pay all shipping and handling to/from) STAY THE F*** AWAY.

(BTW, unrelated question, did these dudes ever pay all the creators they owed from Aftershock?)

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

I'm still not giving up all hope on stumbling across a deal on several volumes of Phoenix, Little Orphan Annie, etc etc etc. Missing the days of steady store credit and having angels at various publishers.

A set of second hand rapidograph pens to replace the past its prime set I have, and the three volume set of TOKYO THESE DAYS by Taiyo Matsumoto. Two really good deals I got off eBay.

Art/retail therapy mail day: A second hand set of rapidographs (two pens barely used, the rest never even filled) and all three volumes of TOKYO THESE DAYS by Taiyo Matsumoto. Lucked out on some really good eBay deals, still waiting on a Roy Crane book lot to arrive. Too good to pass up. #comics

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.”

this article I wrote after Kirk's death is perennially relevant. the reality of the situation is awful, horrifying. but it's never without hope, and preserving your mental fortitude is the simplest and most powerful way to fight back and win.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

Winky the Pirate Cat curled up in front of a copy of the second Mickey Mouse newspaper comic collection from Fantagraphics. Art by the great Floyd Gottfredson.

Winky and me were reading some Floyd Gottfredson Mickey Mouse comics last night (volume 2, from @fantagraphics.bsky.social). She might have actually been asleep. I might also be sadly projecting human behavior onto my pet because of something depressing from my childhood. Anyway, comics!

Please give. Ian is legit.

Also I am angrier with every passing second. One or two ultrawealthy persons could relieve all of this now

It’s beautiful that regular people are doing their best here but it’s also extremely fucked up
