Sometimes you hit a publisher jackpot and they're not only professional but also fun to hang out with 😁

Thank you. The lines are a riff on Du Fu, the towering Tang poet … who lived through a ruinous civil war.

No longer #caturday but I thought BlueSky would like to see Sadie as a kitten. She is polydactyl and her feet were huge as a kitten. 💖

It’s #FOFriday .. on a Saturday!

I forgot to take pictures yesterday.

Anywho, this is a gloriously warm and cozy sweater; it’s practically a blanket with sleeves. I love it so much. Definitely fit for polar vortex weather this winter.

It's a revealing moment...

J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.

The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

The Roberts Court deciding that law doesn’t apply to the president, at least this one, even when he’s out of office, was a bad idea.

They should not have done that. It has had foreseeable negative consequences. They should have gone with the Constitution and over two centuries of precedent instead.

Gutting to wake up to the news of Alice Wong's death this morning. She was always kind to me, and she stuck up for me and fought my corner more than once, when I was a near stranger. She's a marvelous writer, editor, advocate and thinker. Farewell, Alice. Thanks for your urgent, caring work.

Dalton Webb was one of the most welcoming and supportive members of Seattle’s comics community, back when I first moved to town. I’m so sad to hear of his passing, and grateful to @tatsgill.bsky.social for this comic.
tatsgill.bsky.social Tatiana Gill @tatsgill.bsky.social · 1d
My old friend Dalton, brilliant illustrator, kindest friend, has died. It’s so sad, I’m so sad, as are so many people. The first thing anyone says, whether they knew him 30 years ago or today, is how kind he was — what an amazing legacy. Lots of love to his family and all his loved ones 💔
Line drawing comic: YESTERDAY I HEARD THAT MY OLD FRIEND, DALTON WEBB, HAD DIED. IN THE SARDONIC WORLD OF 2000S CARTOONISTS ESCENESTERS, DALTON STUCK OUT AS THE KINDEST, SWEETEST, SOUL. WE HADNT HUnG OuT MUCH IN 10-15 YEARS. THE FIRST I KNEW OF DALTON, WE WERE IN THE SAME GROUP SHOW, AROUND 2001. I MET HIM AT A COMIC CON OUT OF TOWN. I JUST LOVED HIM INSTANTLY. HE EMINATED WARMTH AND CONSIDERATION. WE BECAME FRIENDS THAT MOMENT. WE WERE BOTH IN OUR MID 2OS AND OBSESSED WITH COMICS. BACK IN SEATTLE, DALTON JOINED THE COMIX GROUP / WAS PART OF. HE WAS HARD OF HEARING. I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT HOW TO COMMUNICATE SO HE COULD READ MY LIPS. EVEN WHEN WE COULDN'T TALK DUE TO CROWDS, WE HAD FUN JUST VIBING& COEX/STING. EVENTUALLY HE GOT A COCHLEAR IMPLANT. REMEMBER IT HELPED BUT CAME WITH ITS OWN CHALLENGES. HE WORKED ON A COMIC ABOUT IT. HE MADE LOTS OF COOL COMICS. HE WAS SO TALENTED. OVER THE NEXT MANY YEARS, DALTON & I HUNG OUT, SOMETIMES BY DESIGN AND SOMETIMES JUST IN THE SAME CIRCLES. DALTON WAS ALWAYS STYLISH AND DROVE A MOTORCYLE. HE WAS SUPER COOL. YEARS PASSED, DALTON FELL IN LOVE, GOT MARRIED, HAD A KID, AND MOVED TO A NEARBY CITY. I BECAME A HOMEBODY. I NO LONGER SAW HIM IN PERSON BUT KEPT UP ON SOCIAL MEDIA. I KEPT UP ON HIS POSTS SHARING HIS GORGEOUS 'KIDLIT' ILLUSTRATIONS. RECENTLY HE SHARED ABOUT THE KIDS BOOK HE DREW GETTING PUBLISHED! WALLY MAMMOTH The Sled Race By Dalton Web I MISSED HIS POSTS ABOUT BEING SICK& IN THE HOSPITAL. THE NEWS HED PASSED WAS A SHOCK God I'm sorry I missed these posts-|could have at least sent funny memes & good wishes. WHEN SOMEONE DIES, SUDDENCY TIME IS A FLAT CIRCLE. EVEN IF you HAVEN'T SEEN SOmEONE IN YEARS, SUDDENLY YOU ARE BOTH IN YOUR 2OS AND YOU SAW THEM YESTERDAY. ANOTHER FRIEND FROM THAT OLD COMIX GROUP DIED FROM DRINKING 2 MONTHS AGO. ANOTHER MEMBER KILLED HIMSELF A FEW YEARS BACK THIS GRIEF KEEPS PILING UP TO THE POINT I CANT PROCESS. SO 1 DREW THIS COMIC TO WORK IT OUT. DALTON WEBB 1972- 2025 -Tatiana Gill
