it took me less than 5 minutes to do my 3 calls.

"i saw on the news trump is threatening to shut down the government if democrats don't bend the knee over trans healthcare. i will never vote for [rep] again if they give up trans healthcare. i would rather the government shut down."

that's it.

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm one of Senator [THEIR NAME]'s constituents. House Republicans are trying to insert a multiple articles of anti-trans legislation, including a full transgender healthcare funding ban, into the F-Y '26 budget. I'm calling to tell the Senator to stand up for trans Americans and vote NO on any bill with that language. This IS worth forcing a shutdown. [you can stop here at 0:20 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't] This care funding ban follows the map the G-O-P charted while attacking abortion. Democrats lost that fight by giving in to the G-O-P an inch at a time. Giving an inch at a time on trans care will devastate trans Americans and it'll get Democrats nothing in return but contempt. [you can stop here at 0:40 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't] Right now, the most popular Democrat in the U-S, [Zo-RAHN Mom-DA-nee], is campaigning on making trans healthcare cheaper and easier to access, and he's only got more good will because of it. [you can stop here at 0:50 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't] I'm asking the Senator to refuse to allow any anti-trans language including a healthcare ban in the F-Y '26 bill. Do not vote for any bill with that language. This IS worth forcing a shutdown. Standing with trans people is the right thing to do and it's politically smart. Voters and donors show up for Democrats who fight.

Really beautiful work! The character design is amazing!

...actually from 1993, s kindly pointed out in the comments. There was a mix-up in our notes, apologies for the confusion 🫣

I totally get it, self-publishing or any kind of job where you're producing your own merch can be such a gamble if you have limited space. If you do ever print more i'll be first in line!

Will you be reprinting Blind Alley 2?

Our feature artist/ref today is on FORESHORTENING ARMS by @ruchikapose! The MID-POINT of the arm ( here marked with WHITE bands) SHIFTS BACK VISUALLY when foreshortening - combined with the OVERLAP caused by the WIDTH of the upper forearm, we see VERY LITTLE of the UPPER ARM!

Really like this project by Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek. Titled Exactitudes, it's a series of portraits stretching back 20 years that shows how people style themselves to signal they're part of a group and unique individuals within that group.

I did a comic with @kevinpanetta.bsky.social years ago that looked extremely child-friendly but had swearing in it and i was told many times by parents that they wanted to buy it to read with their kid but wouldn't because of the swearing. I dont know if mostwould call it all-ages if theres swears.

Today on SKTCHD, I have a delightful conversation with @clementeworks.com about what he's built and building over at @bulgilhanpress.com, one of my favorite comic publishers that just so happens to be cooking up some special things.

Give it a read, because it's open to non-subscribers.

Please share & give to help Ahmad's family survive in Israel's genocide in Gaza. His mother needs urgent treatment for diabetes and retinal disease. They're being starved & attacked, & are exhausted. Bsky deletes them constantly. Please help if you can:

This might be the most beautiful comic ive ever seen, and @bulgilhanpress.com is an amazing small press publisher that deserves everything in the world so you know I had to back this bad boy!

A screenshot of the no ice in California front page bundle showing it has made $37, 630 of its $50k goal

Might be a good time to remind folks of the No ICE in California itch bundle raising funds for the immigrant defenders law center (or you can donate to them directly) itch.io/b/3110/no-ic...

That movies rocks, I love how unserious a lot of it is. Feels like it has more in common with the Dick Tracy movie than it does with the first Punisher movie or the netflix series. Theres an episode of How Did This Get Made where Lexi Alexander who directed it comes on to talk about it that's great.
