Our next Comic Book Club at Meanwhile...Coffee in Herndon, Virginia will be on 4/12 at 3:30 PM.

We'll be discussing MY BOYFRIEND IS A BEAR by Pamela Ribon & Cat Farris.

It's not homework.
Everyone has a name badge.
Horizontal, you want to talk.
Vertical, you prefer to stay silent.
All Are Welcome.

young #hellboy presents coming later this year from @darkhorse.com ... a SCARLETT SANTIAGO sketch layout i meant to finish up, but ended up drawing something on the other side by mistake... not the first time (and probably not the last)

AI is incapable of understanding the human emotion of art. It cannot understand how words impact these human emotions.

When I was translating Showa: A History of Japan, there were MANY times I was crying at my keyboard. My job was to make you cry at the same time.

AI cannot cry. It cannot do this.

AI does not "assist" translators, it just makes their work harder, brings down the quality, and impacts their pay. 😭

For me, Prey is the best in the franchise. It saddens me that someone would dismiss it and go down that path.

God, I would love to see a deluxe edition of a manga translated to English with hand lettering. That would be so, so beautiful. There’s an extra level of expression in hand lettering that could add a very pleasing level of nuance. #manga #comics #ComicsLettering
