MONDAY NIGHT BONUS: My design sheet for the outfit Ming wears while going about his administrative tasks. Ming knows that if you're always wearing capes and armor they lose their drama, and then what's even the point

He's made it through the hardest part of any freelance gig: waiting for the client to let you get started

Will be announcing a new serialized project soon on Royal Road!

LitRPG w/ body swapping, gender fluidity, & lots of monster fightin’ (also monster smoochin’ between all those fights)

Thanks to @igorgrouper.bsky.social for the incredible cover(s) and @paultobin.bsky.social for showing me the ropes!

When we do the Bok solo mystery novels, that's first on the list

HA! fine

Back to Bok — and Ming — in today's FLASH GORDON:

PANEL 1: NARRATOR: "Cultivating the measured NPR cadence and placid deference to the military that characterizes the ideal neoliberal subject, Clark Kent returns to the editorial meeting..." A group of DAILY PLANET reporters are in a meeting, Clark Kent is responding to a question from his boss. CLARK: "Well, chief, the bombing campaign--" PANEL 2: Clark is talking and the other reporters and co-workers look unhappy. CLARK: "Obviously war in the region is not-ah-"ideal," but regime change could ultimately provide socioeconomic benefits that far outweigh the regrettable civilian casualties..." CLARK (thinking): "As Superman, last son of Krypton, these words of course sicken me; however, it's Clark Kent's job to manufacture consent!" PANEL 3: (inset in a larger panel) One reporter is whispering to another. REPORTER: "Kent is such an off-putting sociopath" REPORTER 2: "I hope he kills himself". An arrow points to this inset panel that reads "Thanks to super-hearing" from Clark's ear. Clark is smiling and thinking to himself. CLARK (thinking): "Looks like my secret identity as Clark Kent is safe...FOR NOW!"

the mild manners are job security, baby

"Ming's Contingency" would be a good NEXT title

I actually considered this! Ultimately I decided to keep him in the regular Power Men uniform because (a) I thought the specialized gear would be distracting for the more casual readers, and (b) putting on the PM uniform better underlined the idea that he's just there to pitch in, not steal the show

Eyyyy it's your Saturday FLASH GORDON!

It really was, and in such a variety of ways, too! A real bouquet of a film.

Never let em know your next move

Poster for the new very good Hikari movie, RENTAL FAMILY

Javier Pulido cover for a collection of the Peter Milligan-penned HUMAN TARGET

RENTAL FAMILY was very good eats for fans of Milligan's HUMAN TARGET. And other types of people, presumably

The secret hero of Moore's Swamp Thing run.

Got David Simon sweatin in his sport coat

Dress down the commissioner, businessman's lunch with the labor unions, then pop on a tux for my fifth charity gala of the week

voter fraud, letters to people who turn 100

Must be why everybody's always trying to become one when their primary story arc peters out

In cape comics a mayor is a sort of volunteer king that attends four ribbon-cutting ceremonies a day, is able to facilitate literally any crime, and regularly gets kidnapped no matter HOW many men in black suits he rolls with

Comic books have such a warped idea of what a mayor does. Including the ones I write

A Twitter post reusing a one-panel gag comic I drew a few years ago of Saul Goodman defending Magneto in court. "--And now the state accuses MY CLIENT--a single father of FOUR, your honor, a HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR--"

A couple times a year somebody reposts this X-men/Better Call Saul gag I drew and goes lightly viral over it, and you know what, god bless

Heading into Friday with a fresh FLASH GORDON ⚡

I’m blown away by the quality and diversity of great indie stuff having dropped in the last two weeks.

There’s a comic for everyone. Let’s go!

Save losing your shit for a special occasion and then REALLY treat yourself

The delayed endorphin release that kicks in four minutes after you resisted the urge to yell at somebody can be addictive, which in this case is basically fine
