Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

Can I interest you in a Gwen Stacy print? It'll be in my store tomorrow.

Rest in peace Sal Buscema. My favorite ROM Artist, and a legend of Comics.

Then that's the action for the panel!!!

Unless the context is, specifically, "Harry Potter is made by a rampant transphobe" you gotta bring it up. Starve out that cultural relevance. It should be the bare minimum that it cannot be brought up in 2026 without her transphobia immediately following it, even if you're just Doin Goofs.

It's honestly one of my biggest annoyances these days, when comedians or actors or online personalities I know support trans people and are allies will make a joke about the Sorting Hat or Slytherin or whatever the fuck and everyone laughs and just moves on. Nope. Can't have one without the other.

THIS is what we need more of. Don't wait for a journalist to ask about it, don't assume someone else will mention it, if Harry Potter is brought up and you are someone of even a little authority or platform--offer a message of support to trans people. You can't let it be mentioned without that.

This is so important because A) she did it in response to Benedict Wong, a far more prominent actor, saying he's listening to the audiobooks a lot and B) did it unprompted, she specifically stopped the fluff interview to draw the comparison to the themes of their film and support trans people.

Star Wars actor says β€˜trans rights are human rights’ when asked about Harry Potter Kelly Marie Tran said β€˜trans rights are human rights’ when the topic of JK Rowling's Harry Potter series was mentioned in an interview.

You’ve got to love how actress Kelly Marie Tran, one of the most harassed people ever to be on the internet, still leapt up to defend trans people in a recent interview. No one would blame her for keeping her head down and shutting up forever but she will NOT and I admire her for it ⭐

Only have a character do one action per panel. There are some exceptions like when The Flash zips around with after-images and does 8 things at once but for the most part, 1 panel, 1 action. Every panel needs to provide a clean, cohesive image and having someone do multiple things at once is muddy.

This is the realest shit in the world

Those moments where the connections and history that lives in your head never actually made it onto the page are always such a terrible surprise

Okay, a real one: Every once in a while, check to make sure the version of your characters, setting, and timeline that exists in your head lines up with the information you've actually communicated to the reader. Which might mean you need to rewrite/redraw, but it can also be an opportunity to pivot

One last thing: you do need at least one babe. One conventionally or convention-adjacent hot person. Gender doesn't matter, but you need minimum one. This is one of the rules I don't make, it's just a fact

Oh also don't forget to put kids and old people in your comic. I always forget the kids, but even as a background element they create a sense of history that extends before and after the present story, which is important for stakes as well as verisimilitude

And Newsom can't do it because he wants the fundamentals of the current system essentially in place when he takes control of them and he's betting (I think mistakenly) that the average voter wants that too. That he can slide right back into the Biden era. Which didn't work and is dead.

quotes & replies are disabled, but this has hundreds of reposts and it is just not true.
it's so sloppy it doesn't even have the right wrong information. the CURRENT governor of mississippi is tate reeves. she's thinking of the last governor, phil bryant, who is also not carolyn bryant's nephew.

Getting rid of Gregory Bovino 1) shows the next guy that being loyal to Trump won't help you 2) fucks up the ICE chain of command and 3) hurts that little turd's feelings. He still needs to go to prison but at least he will go to his grave knowing that the American people hate his fucking guts.

Chris Madel is the lawyer of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good.

The people of Minnesota did that. Not Schumer and Jeffries, not Walz and Frey, not the standard-bearers of decorum. The People.
