THE ELF WITH NO NAME #4: The Fantasy-Western Tale Continues The Elf finally encounters faeries, Dragons have reached Dwarfwood, and The Elf in Black has made it to Zodiaz. BACK ISSUES AVAILABLE

Bluesky hasn't been working well for me today, so if you can see this, it's a sign that you're supposed to check out THE ELF WITH NO NAME!

The first issue is free to download: www.kickstarter.com/projects/jpl...

The cover of the zine! In the centre is a screenshot from The Shape of Water of a woman with her hands against a tank containing a humanoid fish man. They look at each other longingly through the glass. The Title of the zine is: So you've seen The Shape of Water...A beginner's guide to monster kissing movies

screenshot from Tsui Hark's Green Snake. Two women in are sitting very close to each other in the grass, surrounded by huge flowers. One, in a pink dress, looks down, deep in thought. The other, in a teal dress, looks at her sister in concern

A screenshot from Agnieszka Smoczynska's The Lure. Three mermaids are snuggled together on a dingy grey bed beneath a disco ball (it's a weird movie). The one in the middle wears a dramatic red wig, and holds the other, younger mermaids protectively. The younger ones are suckling from the older one's breasts.

Screenshot from Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast. Belle, a beautiful young woman, looks in a mirror, listening intently as the cat-like beast, in flamboyant dress and cape, holds up a key and gives her instructions on how to return to her family.

In a fit of procrastination, I did a new copy edit on this zine from last year; I forgot to share it for Valentine's Day, but if you're still looking for love, you can download my Beginner's Guide to Monster Kissing movies for PWYC on Gumroad! allisonotoole.gumroad.com/l/monster-ki...

Some of my fav panels for chapter 1 of #Crystalboundcomic 💎✨ #comics

An image of HBO's The Pitt, where Dr. Robbie is cradling a child.

The cover for the 90s comic PITT #3, which features a monster holding a young boy aloft while the title character uh...crouches in the foreground?

The Pitt is a great example of how an adaptation can differ wildly from the source material and still be seen as a quality endeavor when judged on its own merits.

Animal buds first

THE IRON BARGE ⚔️ is a talking animal adventure comic set in post-apocalyptic Las Vegas, a la secret of Nimh meets Fallout!

Slowly kicking my brain awake

I've been working for the last hour and a half and I'm really looking forward to waking up at some point today

Did you see this week’s GODSLAVE 👽

A sheet ghost stands in a very scary garage space. There are unfinished walls, a plywood door, and piles of boxes.

BEFORE PHOTO of the Little Ghosts Workshop space!

Please give. Ian is legit.

Also I am angrier with every passing second. One or two ultrawealthy persons could relieve all of this now

It’s beautiful that regular people are doing their best here but it’s also extremely fucked up

PAID ILLUSTRATION GIG: I’m looking for a professional digital painter to help design a fun print for the MIDNIGHT WESTERN THEATRE Compendium campaign. You’ll get to draw religious imagery, goth cowboys, and monsters!

If interested, please email louissouthard(@)gmail(dot)com

Thank you!

A sketched out comic panel, featuring a close up on someone’s hand giving a teacup to someone else. Coiled around their hands is a large snake. The snake’s scales have been mapped out with intricate but messy lines.

Could a depressed person make this???

With the first 10 pages of THE IRON BARGE now online, here’s a look at the layouts!

Preparing to run one Kickstarter and heavily helping out with another at the same time is… not a choice I’d make again. But at least it’s made the whole process more formulaic than intimidating 🤷‍♀️

Minnesota school districts say federal agents still causing daily disruptions School leaders say that ICE activity is continuing to interrupt daily life for students, staff and families despite the announced end of the two-month surge of federal immigration agents.

ICE activity continues to interrupt daily life for students, staff and families, despite the announced end of the two-month surge of federal immigration agents. Students attend school remotely, staff monitor arrival and dismissal, and leaders wonder when they can resume normal school operations.

Hey pals,

It is the LAST WEEK to donate to the Little Ghosts workshop fundraiser to help us build out our space to host even more marketplaces, workshops, and reading events for our community. If 300 people got a commemorative wall plaque, we would reach our goal!

Thanks so much for the support!🤍

Spending my Saturday editing a kickstarter video and just watching a BUNCH of capcut tutorials
