A lot of you are here now, so quick reintroduction from me! I'm in editorial at Abrams ComicArts, I teach manga history at SVA, and I illustrate and draw comics in whatever free time is left over. I love medieval history, chatting about comics, fire emblem, and cats in no particular order. ✌️✨

I drew this a while ago and the feeling only gets stronger
A bunny looking calm and happy in the foreground, but a larger image of the same bunny in the background expresses their internal dread with a harrowed, panicked expression and a dark miasma surrounding them.

Golden age panel oven old, balding man, smoking the cigar, pointing his finger at Diana and saying to her, “don’t kid me – – you’re WONDER WOMAN, in disguise!” Diana thinks, “This is a tight spot – – I’ll try ventriloquism.“ And then from behind the man comes the voice that says, “Did you call me, Dr? I’M WONDER WOMAN!“

Decided to join in the lettering stacks with the first four chapters of One Piece vol. 111. Sound effects only, because cobbling together my InDesign and Photoshop files is more work than I'm willing to put into this. Also did it as spreads, because One Piece has a ton of two-page spreads.

There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.

"I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.
