Allow me a brief moment to brag about the parenting skills of myself and @mayhem.bsky.social. Our son drew this yesterday at school. Clearly we're doing something right...

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

Let's be honest: #BobbyBrown might be the most popular member of #NewEdition, but #RalphTresvant is the lead singer. His voice just sounds best fronting the kind of songs they do, and he's the lead on their most iconic songs. (Sorry Bobby).

Friendly reminder to support your local independent bookstore this weekend!
A slightly less friendly reminder to just not buy books from Am*zon at all.

Maus author Art Spiegelman’s next comic will be about Gaza, in collaboration with Joe Sacco. He thinks he will struggle to find a publisher in the United States.

Art Spiegelman Won’t Shrink Back From Controversy
The artist has illustrated more than one contentious New Yorker cover in his career, chronicled in a new film, and his next project will be no less gutsy.

After nearly three decades, a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV/AIDS is closing and up for sale... because retroviral drugs are so effective that there aren't enough campers.
Science works, y'all.

I asked my team at work to help me come up with a name for our new project. I wanted something that represented or collective creativity and values. Right away, several people pulled out their phones to console AI 🤦.

Most people handing out candy for Halloween don't like when young adults come up for candy; they bought the candy for children.
However, I was thinking: if a group of older people, like in their 70's, came to my door? I would happily give them hella candy.

"Snacks"
At work, free snacks mysteriously appear in the kitchen. No one will take ownership for the appearance of these snacks, and so the local mythology says that a "snack cryptid" has been bringing them. This is what I suspect it may looks like.

I gave in and drew the type of image that this year's prompts have wanted to see all along. I really like how this one ended up.

I was getting tired of prompts that made we want to draw people walking across a landscape, so when the prompt had a double meaning, I took it. I don't care for watching football much, but this was fun to draw.

Hm. I created this account to see what the Bluesky network looked like and to interact with people interested in comics and entertainment. I created a Pixelfed account specifically to post art, but since this place is so active I think I'm going to post at least my Inktober drawings. Also: hi B.Sky!
