I hope everyone in the comics industry realizes that when SNAP benefits end, people will buy fewer comics, which will affect every single person in the business.
If you love comics, please never, ever, ever vote for a Republican.
Also give to your local food bank/mutual aid group if you can.

There are many good science fiction novels. Not a single one that I have read delivers a happy vision of the future in which aged right-wing billionaires control the media.

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about.

I guess I'm truly going back to my roots (making manga style comic). There’s also something deeply satisfying about seeing it come together so cleanly.

Well I guess I didn’t delete it and now I’m reposting it. I love anyone sharing about the comics they read, truly—this is just some hopefully constructive feedback.
Comic reviews (pro and amateur) that treat the art like an afterthought drive me up the wall. “Oh, also the art is great.” Well, gee, thanks.
Bonus points if they yammer on about how comics are a visual medium before spending zero words talking about the actual visuals.
Probably will delete this

As soon as you delegate a skill to AI, you condemn future you from EVER being able to learn that skill, all because you’re lazy or afraid at being bad at something. Sad and pathetic.
