Rest is not a retreat from progress, it's the foundation that sustains it.
It takes enormous fortitude to be aware of the truth and not be destroyed by it.
So pay attention a little less (or focus on truths that are not demoralizing) to sustain the path forward.
…Aaaaaand its official: I need to start drawing comics again.
If any established writers out there want a damned fine horror/sci-fi/fantasy artist to do a comic with, you know where to find me.
Did a Blade Runner poster 🦉

Scott McCloud and Raina Telgemeier showing off THE CARTOONISTS CLUB. They’re both dressed in black and white, in front of a pink and black background evoking comic book panels.
I know the world is on fire, but @scottmccloud.bsky.social and I have a book out today!
THE CARTOONISTS CLUB is our love letter to comics, made for that nerdy kid in the corner with the sketchbook. We suggest you visit your local comic shop, indie bookstore, or library to check it out!

Jasmine Crockett is on fire!
She WILL protect our Medicaid!
She knows how many people will be devastated by these proposed cuts. About the kids who will be hungry every single day. How our seniors will struggle to feed themselves w/out Meals on Wheels. How many small medical centers will close.
We have corrected the sign that mistakenly spelled “sea lions” as “clions.” You can stop calling us now.

Special Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks sitting against the backdrop of the Red Room, pouring out strange coffee that has the consistency of thick molasses.
A close up on Dale's face and coffee from the previous image.
2025 vibes. ☕❤️
Happy Twin Peaks Day!
The greatest comics storytellers are formalists. You know where plot points need to go, but not always what those plot points are, often bc you are working in a group. Is the next line-wide crisis temporal? Political? Magical? That informs what you ultimately put on the other side of the cliffhanger

Goblin wizard with a hammerhead shark face, and a tiny ghostly floating squid companion.
Sending this goblin wizard off to her creator, Seth, who won a 'Draw Your Character' raffle from me at the last Heroes Con. Her name is Dimple and she's hanging out with her sprite Snarfsnack. She has a hammerhead vibe with glasses, I think I figured out something fun. Love a good challenge!
