Despite Kickstarter more recently saying they "support adult projects" it seems that Stripe is taking down projects way more liberally then they used to.
I know everyone is tired; but we have to keep up yelling at payment processors: stop-paypros.neocities.org

Bsky gif search sucks. What do you mean I can't find a gif from The Simpsons of the boys in the back of the truck chanting "Barton Fink! Barton Fink!"?

Just a reminder that all of our editors will be back at their desks tomorrow morning. I proactively checked in with my October Girl and Amelia Shadows editor @coelacanthkiss.bsky.social to update them on progress like a proper grown up freelance comic book creator.

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

LETTERING TIP FOR WRITERS: If you want me to letter something, include it with the dialog. I almost never read descriptions. Many lettering scripts don't even INCLUDE descriptions.
Instead of "Panel 1: The monster appears and Debbie screams." make sure you're typing "DEBBIE: AUUUUUUUGH!"

A new Oklahoma bill, SB1284, would require dancers to obtain an "Exotic Entertainer License" in order to perform. Those who dance without state approval could face up to a year in prison.
Free speech, even sexy dancing, is not conditioned on government approval.

I'm excited for TFCon LA next year since this time I'll be like 15 minutes from the convention center and not 3 hours. I'll get to hang out with my friends for longer!
(I am a little intoxicated rn, but if anyone wants to invite me to the show, I'm free and would love to even tho I'm an old TF guy)

Since we're all reflecting on the year, and on the year ahead, I'll do my part. 2025 was long and strange and hard. I lost my job. I was unemployed from June-November. We went through an extremely stressful move that exhausted our finances. Beck's still dealing with health stuff. 1/4

Important article, comics colleagues. Where we stand right now in this Book Ban culture war that shows no signs of abating.
I've said this from the beginning: this began as a classic Comics Witch Hunt. When this started in Texas & Florida in 2021, My Friend Dahmer was one of the targeted books.
