330 pages of alternate history mystery/adventure, the first of three, all for thirty slim bucks. LAVENDER JACK had a long life as a Webtoon Original, but no one's seen it like this yet:

Our Long National Nightmare by Tom Tomorrow Relive the trauma of the last five years through the cartoons of Herblock Award winner and Pulitzer nominee Tom Tomorrow.

five days and a few hours to go and at this point I'm just gonna be shameless: if you can help signal-boost this thing, I'd be grateful. I've done very well through my own channels, but haven't had much luck breaking out beyond them.

I still need to raise $800 by the morning. Anything anyone can spare is helpful towards reaching that goal. Literally anything at all. Just sharing this so others can see it is huge.

you can dm me your job offers, I don’t mind

(posting for the first time in idk months bc now im unemployed and money is the undying harpy that digs its claws into our skin and drags us kicking and screaming to create content): hello

Great piece here (and why AI regulation is one of my top three priorities). No surprise that Newsom caved to money, it’s why he should never be president.

"New Far Side comics" was definitely not on my bingo card for this week. They're not bad!

Two panel comic in black and white. In the first panel, a bunny sits in the grass, surrounded by sparkles and flowers, on a white background. The second panel zooms in on the bunny's face and the background is black, with white text handwritten in all caps on it: "TOUCHING GRASS ISN'T ENOUGH, I NEED MONEY" Signature: SLEEPIMALI (and the year the comic was made, 2023)

Reposting with alt text since this is going around again!

Eyes popping out of my head at this:

“On average, respondents who were paid for letters were paid $42.72 with the highest rate recorded being $375. These respondents were averaging 1.3 hours of work a page”

hi, cis folks in california!

this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out.

he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841

want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

Keep pressure on Great Value Patrick Bateman. He has until the end of the week before he actually acts on this.

Bad news: I got laid off from a project and rent is still late, I'm afraid I'll receive an eviction notice soon. I managed to pay part of it last month but we're still struggling. Any help is appreciated!

I reiterate: every single person, regardless of the year they were born, has to make a conscious effort not to shit on the following generations the moment they realize they themselves are approaching middle age or older. It’s not just boomers and X that are susceptible.

There is nothing easy about Making comics. There's nothing easy about making comics as a career.so... you know... cut yourself some slack Pron time to time. None of this is easy.

Never put down your own work. Is it perfect? Probably not. It rarely is. But you did something that very few people can do, and you should be proud of that. And you actually made a thing. That is always something to brag about.

There is no such thing as 'guilty pleasures', just things you like that other people want you to feel bad about liking so that they can feel cooler than other people.

I might not be your real dad, but listen, it's hard out there right now for creative people and if you're still making things and dreaming your dreams, I'm incredibly, fiercely, proud of you.

Throwback Thursday: Some bits of Comic Book Dad advice that I think are still pretty pertinent --

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally.

Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

An image labeled "HELP A TRANS WOMAN GET TO SAFETY! again!" showing an arrow going from a burning American flag to a Canadian maple leaf, with the American flag labeled "HahaohmygodwhatisgoingonisanyonegonnnapUTTHATFIREOUTBEFOREWEALLBURNOHGODFUCKNO" and the Canadian maple leaf is labeled "Kind & Reasonable Neighbors?". There's also a drawing of me with a single tear coming from my eye, shrugging and saying "I'm in danger!" with a weak smile.

Yep, finally doing it. Please help, any size donation you can!! And if you can't help, please share! Any share increases my chances tenfold!!! Thank you 💖 #transcrowdfund #crowdfund #emergency #GoFundMe #immigration #transrights

Congrats!!

Anyone need an editor? I’m looking for new paid work and there’s nothing too big or too small I can’t handle. Feel free to reach out to maximize your project’s potential!

@realDonaldTrump I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The thing with designating a group that doesn't actually exist as a terrorist organization is that they can then say anyone they want is a part of that group.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

I've been posting about coaching for writers on and off for a while, and I want to take a minute to talk a bit more about what exactly that is and why I do it. 🧵

Thank you, this is good reporting

Classic spondule! 🤣😅🥲

no joke this is why i throw letters in before i start drawing haha. they don't have to be perfect but it's a real good reminder to leave that space. i'd do it even if i wasn't responsible for the final lettering tbh

(this doesn't save me from when i edit my dialogue after i've drawn the thing oc)

We need to start speaking up- no- YELLING to support and defend trans people.

If you're in the USA, call your legislators. Literally email and call your representatives.

Cis people have the loudest voices right now and those voices MUST be used to protect trans people.
