Yamara of the Forty-Third Day

The cover of the graphic novel, a colored illustration by Daun Han depicting King in the foreground, Luz and Harpy Eda behind him, and the other cast of characters framing them including Willow, Hunter, Gus, Papa Titan, the Collector, and Amity.

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel!

The Owl House: The Long-Lived King
Written by me and the amazing @mikkicrisostomo.bsky.social

Illustrated by the incomparable @dindu99.bsky.social

We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

Makes me think of ppl who say things like "no I'm a strictly rational person who only makes choices based on logic & reason, never emotion" All I think is "you just aren't aware of your emotions AT ALL".
"No I'm a strictly objective scholar" just means you don't get how values shape your work.

I CAN'T HELP IT IF THE BEST CHARACTERS ARE ALL REDHEADS

Age verification? I bought the Monster Manual in the 1970s. From a Waldenbooks.

These are from 3rd printing, December ‘78. A topless Type V thrown in to make it a party:

When we overthrow the tech bros I only want monster fuckers and furry porn artists running the internet and tech.

Tonight at dinner, my daughter asked if there were flagpole extenders for people to fly the flag at double mast when someone passes and everyone celebrates instead of mourning.

Do it p**sy

I didn’t know how badly I needed this until he said it

Velma holding a stylus pen, crawling on the ground looking for something and saying "My video essays! I can't draw without my video essays!". On the ground are two youtube thumbnails of video essays "Line goes up -the problem with NFTs" by Dan Olson and "ROBLOX_OOF.MP3" by hbomberguy

They're a requirement

This sits in the back of my head like a cyst: how many have we lost, how many more do we lose all the time?

How many children with the potential to reframe human understanding like Einstein or lift hearts like Mozart are born and never educated, spend childhoods dissolving ewaste in acid?

Remember, sneering works. It’s working now. That’s why the lowliest AI fan and the CEO of Microsoft are trying to get us to stop saying “slop.”

AI art is supposed to be its flashy flagship and treating it as disposable rubbish (which it is) ruins everything

おはー

I am 43 and I don't make a living in comics anymore largely because I want the freedom to say things like this without trading it for my livelihood.

That's pretty fucked up.

The other aspect of this that does not get much attention:

There is a deep grief within all of us women every single time we watch men refuse to hold other men accountable. And it happens over and over and over again, right in front of us. A constant refrain of “we don’t care about you”

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Gonna miss the Washington Post. They'd send the nicest people to diners around here each election year to report on how noble we are despite our clear limitations. Who is the most racist guy at the diner going to talk to now? Not me, beyond our dignified nods when passing eachother on rural roads.

Whoever figures out how to sterilize milk will be so famous they’ll probably name the process after them.

Diana Moreno stands smiling with a her hand on her heart while Mayor Zohran Mamdani stands smiling with a mic in his hand in front of her.

In a few short months, @DianaforQueens built an incredible coalition and ran a movement campaign that earned nearly 75% of the vote last night.

I'm grateful that she will serve out my term in the Assembly, and hopefully many to come. Astoria is in good hands.

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Please speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension.

Public pressure works.

If enough people speak up, a life may be saved.

Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.

Oh I hear that.

Many such cases!

Like look at this guy! Old Sam Neill doesn’t need to be de-aged, young Sam Neill needs to be made older and have a pig

Right now from the far left to center right the only divisions I care about are: Team fight vs Team don’t fight. Opposition vs politics as usual.

and it’s not a division that maps to precious ideological categories.
