So a monthly comic schedule is brutal. That is 22 pages a month. More traditional publishers continuously asking people to do work faster than that is wild and unreasonable.

I wish I'd thought sooner to explain to tradpub editors that illustrating a graphic novel is not like writing a prose novel or illustrating a picture book, a 250-page GN is actually like illustrating eight picture books.

When I was little, a friends house had carpet on these i guess support beams or pipes that weren't in a wall for some reason. I spun around them so hard I got rug burn on both wrists until they bleed. I still have a weird rug textured scar on both wrists.

What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

A dear friend is Sbux union leader through Workers United and she clued me into 3 things.

Starbucks has not signed a contract with the workers for 4 years.

Starbucks has more union violations than any other company in the US.

Shareholders are demanding they settle.

Keep boycotting.

I usually shave my head on newyears and leave it at an inch long. But to change things up I tired to do an undercut, but I botched it. So I ended up completely shaving my head.

“True inclusion is bringing the LGBTQ down into the gutter with us,” possibly the greatest thing Rob McElhenney has ever said.

✦ #iasip #MacMcDonald
Screenshot of a question from Entertainment Weekly directed at Rob McElhenney, which reads, “Rob, what have you enjoyed about exploring Mac's sexuality? There have always been hints about him being gay, but you ve really focused on it in the last two seasons.” Screenshot of an answer from Rob McElhenney responding to Entertainment Weekly. It reads: “I think making sure that we are very caretul to not change the fact that Mac is an abhorrent person. And that was something we made a concerted effort on, to make sure we were servicing a very large part of our community, which is the LGBTQ community, and we wanted to make sure that we were having a character who was going to come out in a way that would feel satisfying and be in the tone of the Sunny, while also not just all of a sudden dramatically changing Mac's character, because that just wouldn't resonate with Sunny. And I feel like that's something | hear over and over again from our fans, who say, ‘Hey, man, it's great that Mac came out and it's great that you didn't change him, that he's still so unlikable and such an a--hole and that everyone hates him.’ That is true inclusion, as opposed to saying he's come out and now all of a sudden he's this great guy. It doesn't work like that. True inclusion is bringing the LGBTQ down into the gutter with us.”

like a year ago youtube recommended to me this writing advice youtube who made a video about how there won't be another tolkien. I clicked it thinking it was gonna talk about tolkien being lightening in a bottle/events aligning in his favor, but instead it was just them saying fantasy books suck now

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather
All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable." REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE. "Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—" YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES. "So we can believe the big ones?" YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING. "They're not the same at all!" YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED. "Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—" MY POINT EXACTLY.
