If you prefer digital, they’re all on digital—yes, including MADI and TRUE WAR STORIES, finally!
Many libraries have copies too, both physical and via Libby/Hoopla. I LOVE it when you borrow my books from your local library!

Yall real silent about disability injustices because most of you don’t see disability as a thing that can happen to you.
We are “aww those poor people”. Meanwhile disability can happen to anyone at any moment and those injustices you ignored? They become your experiences too

Always ask artists for permission rather than forgiveness because we have really long memories and a bottomless capacity for both incredible generosity and incredible pettiness.
Welp. Just discovered that someone is putting out a paid collection --over 200 pages-- that looks to be a Spanish language history of Garfield parody comics that may contain some of my work.
While part of me is flattered, my permission was never asked.

Here's the book's store page.
As I said in my quoted thread, if you've done a Garfield parody strip/image that went any way viral, there's a fair chance your work may be in this book too.
There's a contact link at the top of the page.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Some BETTER LETTERER for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...

@blambot.bsky.social I'm putting together a lettering guide for an anthology I'm editing and your book has been invaluable. Here's a silly question: Is there a guideline for what size a font should be to guarantee print legibility? Assuming standard comic dimensions.

I've been thinking about putting together an ebook elaborating on that old post I did about comic book technical specifications. All the things like page dimensions, dpi, colour profiles, file formats, how to double page spreads properly, colour holds, etc that artists should know but aren't taught.
