comics is a lot of situations where you've never drawn something before and have to figure out really fast how to do it

lrt you will not catch me believing anything anybody with a substack says about major world events if nowhere else is reporting it. 'BREAKING! EXCLUSIVE' yeah exclusively from your head

before sharing information

1) read the article
2) examine your source (what else has the reporter done? are they real? what else is on the website?)
3) check whether any other outlets are reporting on it

ESPECIALLY IF

- it makes you feel something
- it confirms something you already believe

i put "that" before my name on my email address bc my name was already taken, which has convinced multiple book club bots to refer to me as That. dear That

i walked face first into that one

that song is my enemy because the lyrics have 'hunger's' and 'bite' close enough together that they appear when i vanity search >:(

this happened again today. i never would have expected this to be such an effective honeypot for spam. annoying that they keep getting through to the main inbox though.

with the exception of a couple pages that don't need it yet, book 2 is completely inked. hooray 🚂

I've written up a brief script for anyone who wants to call or write your representatives regarding this bill (yes, even the ones you think won't care). PLEASE DO THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE. This bill *cannot* pass.

You can find your representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

Thank you to everyone who's ever read it, talked about it, and shared it with a friend! Whether you bought your own copy or picked it up at a library, it's thanks to you that I'm able to continue making these books.

If you haven't read it, well....! Get on it!

Read this thread. This is why that taboo art you don't like needs to exist. Block it if it upsets you. Move on with your life. But dont destroy the safety nets and frameworks for actual victims that would come about by forcing everything right back into another Hays Code cuz you can't press a button

quick somebody draw utena coming up from the other direction

If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time

"But I hate ICE and support trans rights and etc etc" if you aid in the suppression of art, you are a fascist. One of the textbook markers of a fascist state is the suppression of art it deems "degenerate". If you have one empathetic cell left in your brain, you'll start digging into the history

yeah lol i didn't want to say 'they have to pay stateside creators more than they'd have to pay for a license' but, yeah.

and i mean that's also just the 'comics always have to be in color' problem too. there's so many things.

i feel like the problem stateside is like. if manga is already filling the niche and is often popular /because/ it's specifically manga, why compete with it? like if publishers wanted to compete we would have seen a fuckin BOOM of b/w comics after scott pilgrim. and we didn't.

listen to mad, everything good i know about paneling and page-turn pacing i picked up from mad's posts about it over the years

I've been getting back into comics while I wait for more info from my concept job, and I thought I'd make a post about something very important to me, which is COMIC PANEL VARIATION and HOW TO THINK ABOUT IT.

heehee thank you
