i didn't even realize there WAS continuity between james bond films. i figured he was kind of like conan the barbarian, just a cool dude that various people utilize for their own ends
Literally no one cares about continuity between James Bond films.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Just a reminder that we should be avoiding buying from giant corporations this holidays season.
Alternatives/suggestions:
-local small businesses
-charities/food banks
-creators at conventions, craft fairs, commissioning art etc
-secondhand (thrift, vintage etc)

So the power button on the remote works, but nothing else. This is... limbo?
Stuck in a cabin in the country and... the batteries in the remote are dead. This is hell.

Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies.
Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I thought of a better pose for this commission now that it's done. Of course. I'm not going to redo it (probably), but that smudge is REALLY tempting me to scrap it and do a new one.

Today, while in York, we saw a fire truck go by. It had a rainbow painted on its side. On it was written,
"Fire doesn't discriminate.
And neither do we."
That's the most morbidly positive message I've ever seen. I laughed SO hard.
