This is my diary comic for the week too, so Friday will be silent.
I'm still working away on other things though, and the BIA ends THIS WEEK, so supporting me for a bit would be cool linktr.ee/detectiveken

Finally, we have this beautiful cloth spine edition of the Gene Wolfe tribute anthology Book of Fuligin. Every Wolfe fan Ken ever met was in comics and likely as profoundly affected by it. Ken wishes he could’ve begged to be part of this for even a single page.

I'm quite partial to:
"In a thousand years we'll meet again, and with the saddest smile you'll ask me how I've been"
"In a thousand years we'll meet again, and with the saddest smile you'll ask me how I've been"
What’s the best song lyric in history?

The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

Very late to do this, but sure, here's my old Bloodborne piece from 2020, and the updated 2024 version.

There's a bit of this audiobook I'm on where Elle Fanning compares someone's penis to a Tentacruel and it inexplicably gave me an idea for a Worldender story about Gilbert held in a featureless room under observation. That's just how it be sometimes

I'm not posting a comic for this week, as the hourlies covered it. It's also a lot of comic in general, complete with a little Thor.

The Government is providing a system to move onto Social Welfare after BIA, and it seems to want me to provide a certificate to prove my status as a professional artist and buddy, I'm a cartoonist. We don't have a governing body or even a certified course to complete. My library is my only proof

Even outside the Tarantino glazing, I hate these damn articles and any that remotely get my attention I have to scan multiple paragraphs for the actual title.
They all got massive Written by AI energy too, given the ones I have read are full of false information and rambling nothing sentences.

CBR (comic book resources) is your number one news site for articles abut old movies specifically through the lens of how much Quentin Tarantino likes them

While good MGS4 has escaped its prison, where the fuck is the rest of the PSP games? Portable Ops is Peace Walker Lite, but still relevant, and Metal Gear Acid was a tactics deckbuilder, Konami would make a mint putting that out now.

Our time on the BIA concludes tomorrow, but in light of the lack of ambition in the successor scheme, I think this comic I made with @ianfay.bsky.social remains relevant.
Hello! I've been one of the lucky few on the BIA these last few years, and in light of the uncertainty of its future and potential for public support, I decided to write out this comic with the help of BIA compatriot @ianfay.bsky.social to share our stories. 1/3

Of course, being on it (for a few more days) I'm in a unique position to criticize, but I'm actively mad they're just doing the exact same scheme and took forever to deliberate on doing that. It should be bigger, it should be longer, and the pay needs to increase (overall, not just BIA)
