I'll tell you what works, what doesn't, how to tweak a panel for clarity or impact, tips for saving labor- the sort of advice your teacher at a comics class might offer. I'm not there to hire you, or read your pitch, or introduce you to a publisher. I'm there look at the pages you've drawn.

Social media is going great, in order to make a living, we’re forced to make our own free commercials for the things we’re making until the most of what we’re making is the commercials.

Delroy Lindo is on a long list of actors long overdue for an Oscar nomination. He might finally break that ceiling with his role in Sinners. We caught up to talk about Ryan Coogler's "brilliant" epic, and, as always, he has some keen observations to share
Delroy Lindo On The "Brilliant" And "Contemporary" Story In Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' [Interview]
Delroy Lindo already deserved an Oscar nomination. He might finally get one for his role as Delta Slim in Ryan Coogler's Sinners.

Maybe 15 years ago I was in Western Massachusetts with a partner who wanted to check out the Norman Rockwell Museum. I only knew of Rockwell as 1950s kitsch and had low expectations. As it happened, we showed up while an exhibit on Rockwell's Civil Rights legacy was on display. Blew my mind.

The MAGAfication of Norman Rockwell
Trump uses the artist’s work—like other cultural icons—to promote Gestapo tactics and nativist ideas.

somewhere out there must be an entertainment journo who doesn't do a finale piece with the creators of a series asking "what's going to happen?" Do these people also interview magicians and ask "how did you do that trick? What's the secret?" Just talk about storytelling or acting with them you bums
