I watched Twisters last night and while it wasn’t really for me, David Corenswet is in it and now I get what James Gunn saw

How do people know Superman has a secret identity? Did he tell people he did? Why don’t people just assume his name is just Superman and he’s just Superman all the time?
Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #115, 1968.

If you never watched Smothered, the documentary about the Censorship Struggles of the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour is available online for free. It's a good watch and a reminder that our rights are fragile and must be constantly guarded

If you are new to this place and love comics, let me take a moment to introduce my library of Adobe scripts that help make the production of comics easier. Unfortunately, I'm too old to switch to Affinity so this is the best I can do for now #comics #makecomics

I have to remind myself I didn't have a normal childhood. My father was obsessed with folk music as a kid so all of these songs live rent free in the recesses of my sub consciousness

Thank you for all the follows, please forgive me if it takes a bit for me to follow you back...I have adhd 🤣

As my anger subsides I'll make more of an effort to post here. More time spent talking about comics and less time spent on rage-tweeting 🤣

I love that his name is Tim Onion
Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy
The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

For those of us in mixed-race marriages, we should consider this as well as our marriages aren't safe either
Please share this, because this could help some folks with worry.

For LGBT married couples, it's time to take steps to protect your marriage in case same-sex marriage is officially dissolved in the coming years. My husband and I did this when Roe V Wade was overturned, so I hope this is helpful. 👇

I will always stand up for those who need protecting. I read comics as a kid why wouldn't I? Just know I am an ally and I have your backs. It sucks right now, but I will fight for you
Suicide Prevention is a very important cause to me and based on multiple skeets on my skyline:

📞 988 - National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (has text chat, too)

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans Lifeline - 877-565-8860

🏳️‍🌈 Trevor Project - 866-488-7386

Or if you are in immediate danger go to the closest emergency room.

How is there not iPad support yet? @bsky.app this affects my desire to use this app unfortunately. For everyone following me I apologize, I am not ignoring you

I also uploaded US Comic Size templates (PSD, AI, PDF) available to download at my repository. Enjoy and #MakeComics

A reminder, featuring a nifty new video, of one of my previous scripts, ProcessText script is an Illustrator script that takes the contents of a page copied & pasted and creates individual text elements to assist in your lettering process #makecomics

youtu.be/yRR0C6OtfT4
Adobe Illustrator script that takes a page script and converts it to text elements
An Extendscript for Adobe Illustrator that takes the pasted input from a comic book script and processes the text to remove double spaces, converts quotes to smart quotes and converts en and em dashes to double dashes (--). After the script finishes processing the text it creates text objects for each paragraph.

To celebrate #ncbd I've uploaded 2 new scripts to my Comic Scripts Library (link in bio). The first is a favorite of mine: Lettering Files. This is an illustrator script that will take a folder of TIFF files and create individual files for each TIFF sized to fit #makecomics

youtu.be/CkTbAqo10zs
Adobe Illustrator script that creates Lettering Files for lettering comics
An Extendscript for Adobe Illustrator that will take a folder of TIFF files and create the corresponding lettering files for your comic. The script creates multiple layers for each aspect of the lettering file, adds a bounding box, and places the TIFF file on a template layer. Featuring artwork from Sereno by Luciano Vecchio, the trade is available for preorder at your favorite comic shop or specialty store.

Throughout my comics career, I've built a library of scripts for Adobe Creative Suite that make the comic-creating process easier. I've begun making these scripts available to the public for everyone to enjoy, including templates for US comic sizes #makecomics

Really hope @bsky.app supports iPads soon. This is not a fun experience and is the primary reason I’m not as active on the app

New icon! Finally. Make Blue Sky ipad compatible

I would not bet against this…my first thought was MUST TWEET!
