Everyone has that one story they hate to hear. BECAUSE IT'S LIES!! LIES!!! 🤬

What comes to mind for YOU? We want to hear it! Iron Circus Comics is taking submissions for Lie Machine shortly! Get your noggins thinking and then submit here on December 1st! 🧠
ironcircus.com/lie-machine/
What is this? Lie Machine is a non-fiction anthology about propaganda, bad faith arguments, headline-twisting narratives, and biased reportage, both in the past and present . . . and perhaps, potentially, even the future. Remember the woman who sued McDonald’s over too-hot coffee, and then had her perfectly justified lawsuit condemned as absurd and greedy by the popular press? Did you know drug prohibition legislation in the US was pushed through on a wave of racist fear-mongering? Or are you watching Grok spread Holocaust denialism in real time, and wanna talk about what that might mean for the future? Yeah, we want stories like that. And we want those stories from you. https://ironcircus.com/lie-machine/

I’ve made a number of comics related to or directly influenced by the podcast @unexplained.bsky.social over the last 3 years. Paranormal comics are so fun to write and Richard’s work on Unexplained has been a huge inspiration. Read them all for free on my website: www.amoryabbott.com/illustration

The last Halfsoul part has started! It's been 8? 9? years slaving away on this and I'm so happy the end is in sight!
Ps. You can read it on Tapas

#HowToTouchGrass is a comics anthology about TOUCHING GRASS: www.kickstarter.com/projects/pow...

🌿 "Although I am most familiar with the use of 'touch grass' through video game memes, I have a lot to say about isolation [and finding] community..." 🌿

"At its core, I wanted to create an inequitable world where demons like to roam and slurp up all those desperate people. Yum."

We interview artist @scarletwingskaili.bsky.social about her HALFSOUL series, which depict mental health struggles in a magical setting:

A self-illustrated portrait of Scarlet Wings Kaili. She is depicted as a woman with medium skin tone and chin-length dark hair in a choppy cut, in profile in front of a window with cracked glass, holding a feather.

How to make comics
A four panel comic... Two rows of two panels each. Each panel is a shot of an artist sitting at a desk. In the first panel, the artist is sitting in front of a blank piece of paper, wondering how he can come up with an idea for his next comic. In the second panel he says, " I know! I'll just grab it from the future after I've already done it." He then reaches down from the second panel into the fourth panel to grab the completed comic. In the third panel, he looks at the completed comic with disappointment. "Whoof! This is the best I could come up with?" In the fourth panel, he willingly discards the comic by handing it up to the artist in the second panel. "Ehh, you can have it," he says.
