I started making comics in 2014 when I was 40yrs old. A comics critic, I was inspired by the zines and work I saw at SPX 2013. I thought, why shouldn't I make the things I love. This will be an ongoing thread collecting links to my work, free-to-read. Some of it is all me, some is by collaboration.

My wife's come up with a new *baseline* question for being able to trust someone: if she's never heard that person apologize, she has no reason to trust them.
To be honest, it seems like a fair place to start.

Haha, it's number one now, beating out our now-second-place post, the announcement of the results of the sub's aggregative Top 100 vote.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

r/graphicnovels's second-to-top post of all time was posted yesterday: a request for anti-ice drawings like Daniel Warren Johnson's absolute batman one.
Lots of mod-reports on this one for this one. obv

We finished the finale to Stranger Things and have essentially no complaints about the entire thing. What a fun show!
We'd heard going in that people really didn't like the final season and consider it a failure, but we're mystified as to what the principal complaints could be?

World we live in has Nathan Hale beginning his latest book with a reminder that real comics are made by the real hands of real people and that AI is a lie and not art.
Brutal that it needs to be said; glad that he saying it to kids.

Films are so bad about bad backs too. It's always only either a temporary minor inconvenience or linchpin. It's never just, this character throws their back out a lot and stepping off a curb could either mess them up instantly or give them a zip of pain that will freeze them entirely come tomorrow.
So many shows portray characters with disabilities which don't really seem to affect them at all.
So Hollywood gets the virtue signalling without an honest portrayal.
TBF, it's hard to portray chronic pain. This movie did it as well as any I've seen - the desperation, the depression.

Belly bands suck. Belly bands on paperbacks suck worse. Dust jackets on paperbacks suck. Belly bands on paperbacks that also have dust jackets is diabolical.
Stop, Hibari-Kun is a paperback that has a belly band over its dust jacket. Absolutely antagonistic to the experience of reading.

I know I am 100% not the audience for whatever this is a picture of but I have no idea what to make of this image.
Those pushpins are embedded into the desk itself? Why are there multiple pushpins on the same item (and tying to pushpins on the same item)?

There's a reason why I could be a comics critic and not a games critic. Both require you to throw yourself into their releases, but on the upper end throwing yourself into a comic means maybe four hours. A cursory glance at my logged hours on Steam, however... I'd be able to cover 5 games per year 😅

We have one episode left of Stranger Things. It'll have to tank real hard to not have been just a great fun show. I honestly have pretty much zero complaints so far.

I saw a post here a couple weeks ago on how to kill these trailers on pens in CSP, but it refreshed away. Does anyone know how to solve this?

I considered not including A Bride's Story vol 15 in my end-of-year round-up just so I wouldn't have to redraw Mori. Her embroidery illustration is out of this world.
