I draw comics. I write things. I make miniatures. I teach sequential art. They/them, demi-femme. Currently, everything's on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/carlaspeedmcneil/collections
I don't know, but I guess it bothers me some that the President of the United States posted on social media that it is his great honor to be killing people. 🤷♂️
Make Gorillaz the house band, I’d go back to watching it for that
All the people who voted for and supported this:
May their wells run dry
May their children and grandchildren reject them
May their crops dry in the fields
May their vehicles rust
May they become impotent and barren
May the fleas from a thousand camels infest their groins
May they never know peace
1: cats that let you play with their feet
2: walking barefoot on warm, windswept granite in nature
3: morning thunder if you don’t have to go out
Give someone a piece of blank paper and ask them to draw anything and people may get a moment of panic wondering where to start.
Give someone a piece of graph paper and ask them same, and they'll work with the structure with less panic and get to it quicker.
Graph paper is a wonder.
Makings for sangria?
SNL isn’t funny to Americans, hate to say it
Your lips to someone’s ears, man
as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them
True, not a loon. You’ll be in good hands!
I gotta new thing, just sayin’
I
I understand the political theory behind this - “look, we’re on your side re: affordable gas” - I just think it’s a stupid fucking theory
let them touch the stove, press their hand on it good and hard
who could have predicted that members of a regime you have publicly promised to end both as a political body and as a collection of individual lives might proceed as though you said that
You should call your reps. I know they all suck so badly--I know the Congress hates the American people and resents us so much--but you should call. Oppose the "KIDS Act", a bundle of censorious bills that claim to be about kids' safety online, but endanger everyone's data privacy (including kids).
I’m always happy to see you, too!
O round world, keeps on rolling
OK, comics hive mind: Apart from the big news sites, who are your favorite People Who Know Things for comics? Used to be, bloggers ran the world. I'm coming out of a ten-year burnout, and most of my old list of people who belong on press release lists are not in the game anymore.
Who ya got?
Also... I have 32 copies of a signed and numbered SETTLERS comic left. Come get one if you like physical media! The solid blacks are nice and crisp, the plans for the future already delusional, the story is solid!

There was a lot of wild food on my grandmother's land, too. Apart from berry picking and getting malaria while gathering plums, I don't remember much of that in LITTLE HOUSE, which is funny.
New pages for my webcomic, SETTLERS OF THE STORM WORLDS! Last week's pages become free, and these are still pretty cheep. Both chapters together gets ya 77 pages, plenty for a coffee break long enough to get ya yelled at! Come look!

I seem to recall that was just Sunday dinner! That kid ate like a sawmill.
The things you pick up from farming relatives… my uncles used to gather immature pumpkins, apple sized, slice and fry them in butter. Didn’t even peel them. Called ‘em “baby heads.”
She did. Descriptions of how things were done were always interesting. Pouring hot syrup into snowbanks to make candy?? So exotic to a kid like me, for whom snow itself was largely theoretical.
Bah! At least toast it for a little crunch!
Oh, hadn’t thought of her in ages, but Francesca Lia Block was really good at lush, descriptive prose, whatever the subject, and she went all in on food as she did on everything. Sandwiches made with waffles, butter served sliced like cheese, raspberry tea, silky eggplant lasagna.
Nice! Fresh pita is the best.
Oh, and lamb stew with rice and fruit. I had to create my own recipe after reading THE HUNGER GAMES.
I developed a great fondness for cucumber sandwiches after reading THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, all the more so years and years later when Alison Bechdel described how they became a family favorite after her mother took a role in that play.
Not Turkish Delight, that’s for sure.
Bought a big bag of toasted kasha, because in the book I’m reading people eat it hot for breakfast, and I love literary food.
