Happy birthday to Flash Gordon, who first debuted on this day back in 1934. You should celebrate by checking out the daily Flash Gordon comic strip by @danschkade.bsky.social over on Comics Kingdoms. It’s fantastic!

I just assume any notable figures still on X are getting paid to post there. It's horrible for discussion. It's horrible for advertising. It's full of white supremacists, pedophiles, and bots. A celebrity shill who wanted legitimate attention would be on Instagram.
Keir Starmer's spokesman tells me that X and Grok's creation of sexual deepfakes of children is "completely unacceptable" but again won't commit to taking direct action against them, or to stop posting there.

HEY PUBLISHERS: pay attention to this entire thread; and recognize that a HUGE part of the problem is assigning comics projects to editors with no comics knowledge or experience. Editing comics is a discrete discipline, and when you don't recognize that, you fuck both creators and yourself over.
I've had to explain that no, I cannot pencil and ink a 260-page GN in two months, do you even understand the words you're saying to me? I've been asked to design characters, pencil, ink, and color a 200-page GN myself in eight months (I said no).
