Review I wrote on "The Tin Can Society #9" (2025) for @thecomicon.bsky.social. Title published by @imagecomics.com.

tinyurl.com/nh8vua7c

#imagecomics #comicbook #comicbooks #comics #writing #review
The Tin Can Society #9 (2025) cover A art by artist Francesco Mobili and colors by colorist Chris Chuckry. Features a tree in the center surrounded by the various characters. TCS is carved into the middle of the tree's trunk. There is one woman with pink hair, a black sleeveless shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers next to the metal superhero suit Caliburn which is on her left. To her right is a bruiser of a man with a receding hairline in a white business shirt, sneakers and khakis. Below the woman and the suit is a trowel and what appears to be dirt. On the other side of the tree, which is to the suit's left, are two men. The closest to the suit is blond with a bandaged or mechanical hand and is wearing rolled up light blue business shirt, navy vest, reddish brown boots, and blue jeans. The last guy has auburn ponytailed hair, glasses, and is wearing a blue business, shirt, white sneakers, and khakis. The comic's trade dress is at the top of the page near the green leaves of the tree. Shadows and grass are around or underneath the respective characters. A suggestion of sunlight is making the background grass look lighter.

My CPR skills are amateur at best*, but if you’re looking to hire a writer… or an editor/consultant for your project… there’s no time like the present.

*it makes sense if you read the newsletter, (for free.)

Because I’ve decided to put this out one chapter at a time, there will be revisions as I go along. Since I first posted the Prologue, the glossary has almost doubled in size and I’ve added a bunch of art to illustrate the glossary items.

I imagine it’ll keep evolving as I go.

I have a new comic coming out tomorrow, and a signing, AND I’m finally going to drop the first chapter of my “book in progress” HOW I MAKE COMICS/A Writers Guide.

Last month I previewed the Prologue, which you can read here:

Rob's Top Tips of 2026 #01:

When you ask the vet about a discharge the small dog has, and be told timidly it's 'sperm' or 'smegma', as an AMAB, the response you give should NOT be "ahhh, yeah, I get it..."

No company we've approached has accepted it. We tried crowdfunding on Zoop in 2022 but it bombed because I got COVID on launch day.

One of my 2026 goals is to get this published and out there at last. I am open to help or suggestions. Hope you enjoy this peek. (2/3)

X basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok made it normalized and centralized: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being targeted and dehumanized. Only question now is will X suffer any consequences

A digital painting of a woman with a wonky eye and a babushka scarf standing on a large orb-like building labeled "town hall". the landscape is mainly flat save for a few odd-shaped "buildings" and mono-chrome. The woman is skewed towards the "camera" with strange perspective

That's because it is wrong. We can't really choose how we're oppressed but we can do things about how we effect others and I'm sure you've done more than your fair share to try and help
But sadly the ire will be directed everywhere but the perpetrators cause people can't reach them, so we're next up

I will take as much responsibility as I can for anything I have control over, absolutely. ABSOLUTELY. I have power in that sense that others may not have. I recognize that. no doubt about it. I will ALWAYS do whatever I can. but responsibility for my own oppression?? that feels...wrong haha

not to be tedious but were the people targeted in the 1940s Holocaust "RESPONSIBLE" for their own oppression, based on their country of birth?? idk man. I'm not sold on it
