Hi folks. Whatever it is you were holding back from asking for, whatever you thought you didn't have the resources to pursue, whatever art you thought you needed permission to make -- just go for it. Go do your big project. You might as fucking well do it.
This does a deep disservice to Dave Sim, who was very talented and a real sweetheart in person.

Okay here’s an actual take: the fascist international is at war with the very concept of legitimacy.
Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.
We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

You can’t report illegal acts because you don’t want to compromise them being carried out is an interesting take, if true
NYT, WaPo learned of the secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin but held off publishing what they had at the administration's request to avoid endangering US troops

It’s old-fashioned to defend mainstream journalism these days but some of the most reliable reporting from people actually on the ground will be the AP and Reuters the next 24 hours. Your Substack journalist writing takes will be using frontline reporting from them.

We've elected him twice, but for a lot of reasons it seems like he'd be happier with someone who could give him more supervision. He has some medical issues and needs a special diet (will provide free bag of kibble), but is very energetic for his age and will keep you entertained!

I feel really glad to been able to make comics again this year, and I glad to be closing out the year with ... whatever this is. I'm really proud of it.
I lowkey think this might be the best thing I've ever made. Is it comics? @dylanhorrocks.bsky.social would probably say it is.
