Ritesh!

You are telling every fat person in your life that they disgust you, that their bodies are comical or degenerate or useless. You are telling every fat person in your life you don't respect them.

Eight thousand iterations of this discourse later, there is no political utility in calling fascists fat. All you're doing is propping up the brutal hierarchy which lets people like them work up from deniable social torture to state violence.

Gaza genocide: 2 years of Western media stenographing for Israel Western media has spent 2 years denying Gaza’s genocide, platforming Israel’s lies, & enabling ongoing violence through silence & distortion, writes Assal Rad.

I’ve Endured Two Years of Genocide. But I’m Still Here. The world before October 7, 2023, is a distant memory. But we carry on, fueled by the determination that this land will become a place of life once more.

More Irish activists have now been taken by the IDF from international waters including author Naoise Dolan, TD Barry Heneghan and psychiatrist Veronica O’Keane.

They are part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.

Raised by faeries, Aimé has grown too old to stay with his godmothers. With his dog Anatole, he must travel back to the human world to find his place among the humans he has forgotten. The fae, however, are never far...

'Aimé' is a wonderful new 132-page comic by L. Adassovsky, available now!

Since it's now news within our immediate circles, I can share: my partner got abruptly fired from his job (we had no idea it was coming; his boss chose to circumvent the normal steps you're supposed to go through to fire him while we were in Hawai‘i).

My comic 'War and the Maiden' is out now at this year’s

In a library at the end of the world, a historian meets War herself, and together they reflect on myth, memory, and what remains of humanity.

Because racism and violence is as American as apple pie. But if you blame the Russians for it you can absolve yourself of any responsibility....

Can I also say I am so angry today. It's the lives lost, the cities wiped out, the time taken from us. We have been consumed with this level of unspeakable violence for 2 years. To think of all the potential futures taken away... it's unfathomable

If you see this, post a goth (or punk) girl

It was created by Germans. What else could it possibly be.

how did i miss this write-up!!! i have 5 zines in this collection and EVERYONE better be checking out the richness of puerto rican comics and culture at this exhibition and give this collection some love❤️‍🔥

Haikyuu's great.

Haikyuu-Aoashi-Ace Of Diamond to me are a great triumvirate of Slam Dunk Successors that really really work. Slam Dunk re-sets the template from Kajiwara's Joe/Giants in the 90's, thus shaping the modern landscape.

I'd also rec Ping Pong if you've never done that. Tremendous.

Yeah, BE is a ton of fun. It's a very well-executed version of the 'basic' mode of the enterprise. At least, up to the point I read, as it's still not complete.

Hah, which one? Sports is among my very favorites.

Les Sentinelles by Enrique Breccia--a page with a photograph integrated into one of the many panels of the page.

Breccia's Photography Integration is something I'll always remain charmed by.

Yeah, plenty. All older tho. I love a bunch of 'em, esp a lot of the 'foundational' originators that kinda laid down the template. From Fist Of The North Star, Dragonball, YYH, HxH, the Big Three broadly (flaws n all), FMA, Blue Exorcist, etc.

It's the modern well that feels dead/run dry to me.

'Vinland Saga' Creator Makoto Yukimura Looks Back on Writing His Pacifist Viking Epic The mangaka talks to io9 about the risks, inspirations, and aspirations behind his creation.

DREAM INTERVIEW ACHIEVED
I spoke with Makoto Yukimura about penning the final volume of Vinland Saga. We also spoke candidly about the J. Cole "I have no enemies" meme, my procrastinated tattoo idea, the state of the world, and how being strong means being kind. gizmodo.com/vinland-saga...

Brain replaying this AR Rahman classic:

Every time I come back to his work, I find something else to appreciate that younger-me missed or perhaps didn't quite appreciate anywhere near enough.

A truly stunning artist.

Ishinomori man...he had everything.

Simply sensational.

You understand why Tezuka was heated and green with envy lmfao.

Such an impressive body of work fr.

I could post a lot about the different characters & scenarios, how this feels like the nexus-point of so many humanist scifi of the time, how it feels like a predecessor to even very recent works like Heavenly Delusion or Fire Punch...

But instead I'll make the wise decision:

This comic really exemplifies how Ishinomori, at his peak, I find to be one of those creators whose storytelling sensibilities, pacing and conveyance just is kind of timeless & intuitive. You don't need to make as much of mental adjustment, as this could almsot be made 10-20 years ahead of its time

Since I haven't seen anyone brought it up yet, Ishinomori's Ryu's Road manga is phenomenal. It's from 1969 & doesn't feel its age at all.
I feel embarrassed as a fan to have taken so long to finish this, 'cause this feels like an unshakable cornerstone work & thesis statement.

ohohohoho
