Guess I'll be confronting my absolute hatred of zombies for Primal season 3 then.

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are! The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee). Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas. I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

I need this.

The newest one, just came out in the last month I believe.

New book haul on art cabinet, from top to bottom- The Moon Is Following Us - DWJ/Rossmo/Spicer World Heist - Sterte Return To Eden - Roca Absolute Wonder Woman - Thompson/Sherman/De Iulis/Bellaire TMNT: Return to New York - Aaron/Jones/Albuquerque/Chiang/Burnham/Robertson/Ferreyra Drifting Dragons V1 - Kuwabara Ultramega V2 - Harren/Stewart Akira V1 - Otomo

Surely -this- stack of books will fix me

We did not weather nigh two decades of “lazy millennials are destroying every single industry” to turn around and do this to Gen Z!!!

In all seriousness, publishers are going to have to figure out how to market books in the post-social-media landscape. That should be an implicit part of their job. What authors/artists can do on their own is increasingly limited and siloed.

I may not being doing a Batober this year— but there’s still TWO books drawn by me on shelves this month!
Batman: The Long Halloween: The Last Halloween #9 hits stands October 8th!

the stress and anxiety you're feeling is real. our minds struggle to separate what we're witnessing with our eyes from our present state. triggered emotions are triggered emotions.

take care of yourself 🩵

hey folks, those in control of Federal Government are doing psychological warfare on you. I need you to recognize this, accept this, and build good tools for yourself - so whatever new PTSD they are giving you can be addressed once it is "post" (it's not PTSD right now... it's straight SD)

"Ivan Aivazovsky's 'Sea at Night' masterfully captures the serene interplay of moonlight on water, highlighting his renowned ability to depict light and atmospheric effects. The painting envelops viewers in a tranquil nocturnal seascape, showcasing a masterful blend of realism and romanticism typical of Aivazovsky's maritime works."

Dammit, David.

Wow, Stipan. Lovely work, all of this.

Without Noel Sickles, there's no Milt Caniff, no Alex Toth, no Frank Robbins. He's the source for a huge slice of how comics are drawn.

That would be a lot of fun.

Nope, I'm still working on stuff. News at some point soon.

More LINK. And...friends?

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

A cartoon of myself against a photographed background. I’m approaching a big box from Penguin Random House placed on my dining room table.

I’m now kneeling over the box on the floor on top of a rug in front of my couch, preparing to open the box

I’m now jubilantly hopping around with a copy of my book in my hand, a slightly crazed look on my face.

My cartoon hand holds a copy of Angelica and the Bear Prince, cartoon stars and sparkles around it

I hate unboxing videos. HOWEVER, I am a CARTOONIST. So.

This is charming as hell.
