continuing to make calls. I called my reps and alongside demanding they oppose all of these bills (and explaining in detail why), I also advocated for putting these bills through MORE committee meetings in order to continue debating them, rather than fast track such dangerous legislation

We are recruiting game makers affected by the 'NSFW' policy changes on Steam and itch.io for a survey. This survey is part of a broader project on the factors that shape the production, distribution, and consumption of porn games. More info about the project and survey at www.pppproject.com

commissioning me, becoming a patron, even just dropping a one time tip via Venmo (@ popculturepunk ) — it’s all incredibly helpful. cartooning is my only source of income now, and I can really use the support as I transition into this new time in my life!!

the three tiers offered on the Pop Culture Punk patreon, including the $1 Gachagacha tip tier, the $3 Arcade Game SFW tier and the $15 Adult Arcade 18+ only NSFW tier.

the collections of posts for sale on the Pop Culture Punk patreon, sharing art collections from the years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. All are $5 except for 2022, which is only $3 due to the limited number of posts that year.

some updates to the Pop Culture Punk patreon! new header! updated (and limited) subscription tiers! Perhaps most exciting...COLLECTIONS! Pay a one time fee to access collections of previous years posts.

Dang it, Rik!

Doctor Michael “Robby” Robinavitch and Student Doctor Dennis Whitaker from HBO series The Pitt. Both are in scrubs, Dennis is on Robby’s lap, holding his face with his front arm, the other draped over the older man’s shoulders. They hold eye contact in profile view, and Robby has a gentle hand on Dennis’ waist to keep him in place.

happy Small Business Saturday! i have slots open for commissions this holiday season. email me to inquire

So
Everybody
Guess
A-where I'm-a working!

I like that everyone has suggested different places. Sign of a good comics town.

I loved Hastings! Very sad they're gone.

I do love Golden Apple and I'm sure it'll be in the rotation.

What have been your LCS over the years?

San Diego:
Comickaze (both as a kid and when I moved back as an adult
Nuclear Comics North Park (now gone)
And sometimes Now or Never

Tucson:
Heroes & Villains
Fantasy Comics
And sometimes R-Galaxy

What should my LA shop(s) be?

Took 5 days (3 full pack and move, 2 of "rest"). 2 trucks, 2 vans, an SUV, and my little compact. I genuinely think I may have moved close to 1 ton of stuff. But it's done. We're moved in. Now to relax... and unpack. And my new job starts in the morning. 👍

Mastercard is REALLY trying to pass the buck off onto banks (who, granted, ARE part of the problem but its still mostly MC and Visa)

do as Ana says here and tell them your bank told you to contact THEM. easy way to tack on more time in the call

It would also help me so much to have you support me on Patreon! I offer several price point tiers and share new art on there first before posting publicly! www.patreon.com/popculturepunk

I still have things to move...

And, hey, if you want to inconvenience those payment processors and credit card companies too, here's how! bsky.app/profile/dies...

There're a lot of very cool creative folks--many still on itch--who've had their livelihoods threatened by bad actor payment processors and credit card companies. Support their SFW work. Support their NSFW work if it's still listed and buyable. Make sure they can keep on making cool stuff.

Today is the day! Make some phone calls to Visa and Mastercard if youre able to and keep it going as much as you can muster until monday!

THANKSGIVING
BLACK FRIDAY
SAT + SUN
CALL!
CALL MASTERCARD, VISA, LET THEM KNOW YOU WON’T STAND FOR FURTHER CENSORSHIP

CALL AT LEAST ONCE A DAY, ALL FOUR DAYS!!!

We moved in! Yay!!!

*Most of our stuff is here. But not all of it just yet. I have to make another trip. :/

**Next to nothing is actually set up yet.

***Longest week of my life and it ain't even over yet, dudes.

FIRST GOAL - 50 POINTS - Remove shawl + skirt. The lovely Lilya sits nervously, blushing, looking away to the side. She presses her pointer fingers together. Her dark purple hair is bobbed, and her eyes are bright purple. Her skin is pale and freckled. Lilya wears a wide-brimmed witch hat, an orange neck ribbon, a shawl, a striped top, a girdle from under her bust to her hips, and a long skirt.

STRIP vs STRIPE - PART 1!

Wielder’s Will logo by Winston Gambro. Text over two swords

Two characters eyes closed back-to-back, one upright and the other upside down. They are both holding swords. Crests are in the background.

📢 WEBCOMIC ANNOUNCEMENT! 📢
Very excited to announce Wielder’s Will is coming in June 2026!

Sena and Kei are the champions of their respective rival nations. But as they come to realize they are simply weapons wielded by their countries, can they find something worth fighting for in each other?

Yesterday was the longest day of my life. Today will somehow rival it. But Thursday, I get to rest. And Friday... I have to come back and finish moving out... No, I don't know how we got that much stuff in a 800 sq ft 1 bedroom either.
