@bellhasabat.bsky.social says: Our most important advice: If you have never finished a comic before: Make a comic less than 30 pages before starting a large one. I literally cannot stress this enough.

Students find a real grid/architectural feature in the world, take a picture of it, then use that as the basis for the composition of a one-page comic! Always a treat – this batch of them are stellar! (From my intro Making course). Try it yourself!

If you are Canadian and posted something snarky about ICE today, then you also have to read & share this new piece from Other Eric.

Sounds like his speechwriter would make a pretty good Prime Minister.
When will his actions match this rhetoric? Hell, when will his rhetoric on day x match his rhetoric on day y?
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct.

The alt text is great, but for those who don’t follow Canada news, the truly horrific premier of Alberta, in between denying rights to people on the basis of gender and violation inviolable treaty rights, really wants Alberta to become Trumpistan with her in charge.
Good thing we spent all that time telling him about all the oil we have.

Election Night 2024. We cut to a @thebeaverton.com pitch meeting. We are brainstorming headlines for Trump's second term.
"He'll create 'The Patriot Games,'" I say. "Like the Hunger Games, but dumber."
"He can't," my editors say. "That would break satire forever."
We laugh. That's true. It would.
