If your base instinct isn't to make art or enjoy the beauty of this world, what is the point of you?
I think about the use of AI to spare brainpower from something like writing an email, to do WHAT exactly instead? Take people's resources away? Rewrite history? Make money?
Just to prove you can?

🔥 Hourly Comic Day 2025 🔥
1/3
(My hourlies are never late; they arrive precisely when they mean to)
Used toned paper this year since it was my only small sketchbook & I needed to draw on the go. Highly recommend a good burn with friends now and then ❤️

My most intrusive thought after yesterday's events is that I'd like to hang out with GWB and talk to him about his art

Neil Gaiman stating "To repeat, I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone" is something that an incredible number of men who have committed SA could say aloud or to themselves, because it's their truth. Their experience. It's not the truth. It wasn't the victim's experience.
Neil Gaiman shouldn’t be treated like an extreme outlier. It’s not fame or following that enables men like Gaiman to act the way they do. It’s power. And power can be A-list celebrity status or it can be the head of any ordinary household or a leader in any local community.

Finally had a chance to check out the Philly Comics Now exhibit at the Pearlstein Gallery, curated by the fine folks at Partners & Son... and I'm in it! (along with a ton of incredible Philly cartoonists & old friends)
There's only a few days left to check it out - show closes 12/15!

Trina Robbins gave me the firmest handshake of my life when I met her. I told her how firm it was and she yanked me in to say "I know." I've squeezed people's hands as hard as possible from that day on. What a cool person, what a good legacy.
