I keep thinking that Mr. Rogers would be so ashamed of us

For your consideration

Welp.

Thank you for your unhelpfully late information JOEL

this guy gets it

Today I learned that the *bottoms* of my Chuck Taylors are not, in fact, waterproof

Listen. If your dog dies, and 5 years later you get another dog, those 2 dogs are siblings.
My brindle pup is the annoying little brother of the dog I got right after college, The dog I have when I’m 70 will be *their* little sister.
I don’t make the rules. This is just how dog posterity works.

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

Writer here. On this most hallowed #PortfolioDay, I’m keeping an eye out for a comics artist who likes architecture and ghosts.
And, in case you thought artists weren’t important, I present some of my own very best drawing.

woman drinking a soda in a santa outfit sitting in a window: book cover. wearing stripy stockings and looking like a 1950s sexy corporate christmas card.

Cover for Cam Girl comic: striking image of Japanese woman in leather jacket looking cool in front of a background of the same woman looking like a submissive cam girl.

Comic page from Eisner nominated Cruel Universe anthology, two men are awarded a prize and their colleague, a woman, misses out because she is on the space station. They exclude her and call her a loser.

A girl plants a tree in a pot in front of the the Keeler House, which was destroyed in the Altadena fire. Small images of Ray and Shelly Kappe and memorial text for the building by Professor Jon Yoder.

Hi #PortfolioDay. I'm Alison and I like to draw pages which tell a story- comics, book covers, illustrations, all sorts. I like the puzzle of the job: thinking of a good idea to do what is needed in a striking way, am available for book and comic covers in 2026.

hey there #PortfolioDay!
I’m a #comics artist and illustrator- i’ve had the pleasure of working with Dark Horse, PRH, Image and more, but am probably best known for my work with Dungeons and Daddies. very here for big character and bright colours and open for cover work this coming year!

Illustration by KitsuneArt, limited colour palette (blue/green and red). Frodo and Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings book and movie, sitting in the ruins of Moria. On top of their heads Gandalf's words, handwritten by KitsuneArt: "all we have to decide is that to do with the time that is given to us".

"I wish none of this had happened."

"So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
