#birds
First page of María Izquierdo Barri's 'Dilly Dally'. A bird is building a nest. In this page the bird admires its work proudly, the nest perfectly assembled. But then the bird sighs dejectedly. The bird looks sad and says 'Maybe I should be doing something more productive'. In the background far away we see the skyline of a city being built.

Not my wokest but we should stop considering “community work” a punishment. That’s something we all should do regardless of anything, participate in the betterment of your local life and community, as we all end up benefiting from it.

"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Because the year does not wish to end easily, I got a bill I absolutely cannot pay that equals out to roughly $300. Currently all my funds are going towards medical costs [such as transportation] so im struggling to pay bills as well. So...if you'd like an art book? God, im sorry guys.

I have an art book for #tyreecomic ! It's 62 pages at $10! Not only does it have art but I have some brief guides into my page process as well. There is even stuff I havent released publicly in it! It's a great way to support me currently and get a glimpse into my obsession

Angst time! This one started as a parallel to the Maddie bed scene where she pushes Caitlyn to act like it's expected of her and Cait can't stand herself so she leaves.

This time, Vi meets her where she is, right in the middle of the storm.

Akko and Diana facing each other sitting on a circular coffee table outside a coffee shop. They’re sharing a pink milkshake and a chocolate pastry, Diana is taking a taste from the whipped cream while Akko drinks and they’re close enough to stare at each other lovingly. Diana is playing footsie with Akko. Akko is wearing an overall and a red shirt and Diana jeans and a blue knitted sweater.

A time-travelling post: Should've been out on the 21st, but here it is today. "Contradictions", by @vinzul.bsky.social , is a #comic for you this morning.

#zine #humanart
First page of María Izquierdo Barri's 'Contradictions'. First we see a woman touching her chest, the chest shining while narration reads: 'I thought if I took care of my body I wouldn't get sick.'. Then we see two hands holding, narration reading 'I thought I would marry the love of my life once I met them. But neither happened.' We see a flower blooming from the woman's chest, and one of the hands from before holding a different blooming flower. Narration reads:'Instead I learned that you can be healthy even when you're sick. And that happiness can be felt even when you're broken hearted.' We see a rocky wall with plants and moss growing all around it. Narration reads: 'Reminded me that a cracked wall covered in moss and weeds is one of my favorite things.'

First page of María Izquierdo Barri's 'Cultivate'. This comic shows a plant growing, with the narration saying 'When new growth shows up on the plant you've been trying to save for two years -- everything makes sense.' A plant gets watered. 'Love like a gardener.' A woman gives tea to her partner. 'Watering every day without fail.' In this page we see the woman observing her partner. 'A gardener observes'. Then we see a plant with bugs. 'very very closely when something is off.' Then we see someone caring for a plant. 'A gardener is curious'. Then we see a suitcase being packed. 'And finds out the best way to help'. Then we see a broken pot 'A gardener understands' - and a hand letting go from another 'when the pot is not big enough to thrive.' In this page the woman is reading a book and a hand rests on her shoulder. 'To be loved is to be known'. Her new partner brings her tea and they smile at each other. 'A gardener will make sure to know --'. We see them sitting by each other in the harden '--what your heart will need to grow.'

Little Witch Academia fancomic. Alt Text by @witchpunkleha.bsky.social Title card : SUMMER BREAK, DAY 7 [Panel 1] Diana is anxiously checking her nails, wondering what she should do. [Panel 2] She’s leaning against her desk in her bedroom, alone, and in complete silence. [Panel 3] Akko’s voice booms from behind a door, dragging her out of her head “Diana, are you sure this is alright ?” [Panel 4] “Even if Merryl remembers, she will not say anything.”, she answers, in her best effort to seem more composed. “Hrrmmm… alright…” Akko doesn’t truly buy it, but that should be enough for her right now. [Panel 5] Alone again, Diana gulps and is drawn back to her unnerving thoughts. Title card : THE DAY BEFORE [Panel 6] The door to Daryl’s office, as Diana remembers it from yesterday. [Panel 7] Inside, the two of them are seated and discussing some important matter. “So ?” Daryl asks. “I suppose it would be in all our best interests.” Diana answers. [Panel 8] “Then it’s done.” announces the gloating aunt. “I’ll make sure to let them know as soon as possible. We will be preparing for Friday afternoon. Can I leave it to you to tell Miss Kagari ?” [Panel 9] Diana, seemingly stoic, agrees. “Of course, aunt Daryl. I’ll let her know at once.” [Panel 10] The door shuts closed. [Panel 11] Diana, finally out, rests against it, sighing all her worries out. [Panel 12] She hides her face in her hands, groaning in them, conflicted on the task she agreed to fulfill.

Rainy December 9th. Perfect to read about pigeons! Check out @vinzul.bsky.social 's delightful story in "Homesteady".

Check out more of her work at www.artstation.com/marizba , and read even more comics at fodongo.ca

#zine #comic #webcomic #freeculture #pigeon #humanart #indie
First page of María Izquierdo's 'Homesteady'. We see a pigeon nesting on a column, and then it rains and its nest gets destroyed, the pigeon is missing. In this page the pigeon is on the ground, out of it. Then it sees a window sill and carefully builds a new nest. But once it's on it, a cat looks at it menacingly from the other side of the window. In this page we see the pigeon mourning its recently destroyed nest. Then it tries to make a nest on a pole, but the electricity prevents it from getting too close. It finally notics a wooden house some kind soul put on a sill, and the pigeon nests there.

Little Witch Academia fancomic. Alt Text by @witchpunkleha.bsky.social Title card : SUMMER BREAK, DAY 5 [Panel 1] A close up of Diana’s face, she is calm, her eyes focused on something. Akko can be heard, speaking in japanese : “もしもし?” (“moshi moshi?” [“Hello ?” while speaking in a phone]) [Panel 2] Diana’s attention got diverted from her previous interest, Akko is loud on the phone, and keeps going : “父さん, 母さん!” (“tou-san, kaa-san! [“Dad, Mom!”]) [Panel 3] From a larger perspective, we now see they were resting in the courtyard. Diana is, well, was before Akko started shouting, reading on a bench with one of her dogs next to her. Akko, is sitting in the grass, accompanied by a mutt too, and is speaking to her parents, loudly : “最近ど?うん.うん.” (“Saikin dou? Un. Un.” [“How’s it going ? Uh-uh. Uh-uh.”]) We can’t hear what her parents respond to her. [Panel 4] Diana’s gazing at Akko, smiling to her phone as she gives (what she can only assume to be) news to her parents. “はああぃ、ちよっと-” (“Ha ā ~i, chotto-” [Yeees, just a secooond-]) [Panel 5] The girl smiles, caressing softly her dog as she has lost all interest in the book she’s holding, tenderly staring at her friend, who's going to take a while with her parents-child “how’s it been” talk. “見えるよ!久々!” (“Mieru yo! Hisabisa!” [I see you ! It’s been so long !”]) [Panel 6] Akko is beaming with joy, finally being able to see and talk to her parents after yearning for their presence for the last week, she’s trying to get as much as she can of them from this phone call. [Panel 7] “Dianaって-” (“Diana tte–” [“Diana is–”]) Her parents cut her, Akko is surprised by what they answer to her. [Panel 8] “あ、もう– わかったよ...”(“Ah, mou– Wakatta yo…” [“aaah, fiiine– I got it…”] Frustrated, Akko seems to give up on some answer her parents gave her. Diana definitely heard her name with Akko’s natural accent a moment before, does it have something to do with her ? [Panel 9] Akko turns her head in her direction, this was about her indeed ! And why is she pouting, like she’s in distress but also embarrassed ? [Panel 10] She stops facing her, too self conscious to look at her while transmitting her parents’ word. “Uh, Diana? My parents want to meet you, is that alright ?” she finally asks. [Panel 11] Diana is taken aback by this, too formal, demand. She doesn’t realize she’s gripping her book, flustered as she is. She simply answers “Um– Yes, of course.”

Day 1 | Part 1/22

#LWA #LWA_jp #Diakko
Little Witch Academia Diakko Fancomic. Two panels: 1, establishing shot of Luna Nova, text says "Summer Break, Day 1". 2, Diana is walking through the corridors and sees Akko leaning on the railings. One panel, Akko looks into the sky pensive and kind of sad. One panel. Diana arrives and asks "Pouting because you can't wait to get home?". She startles Akko who jumps in the air and screams. Two panels. 1, Akko crouches on the floor, regaining her composure. Diana looks apologetic. Akko: "Ah, Diana, it's you..." Diana: "I'm sorry! I wasn't trying to startle you." Akko: "No, no, I was just distracted is all..." 2, Akko turns to Diana with a pouting and very sad look on her face, almost sobbing. Diana: "What's the matter?"

Little Witch Academia fancomic. Alt Text by @witchpunkleha.bsky.social Title card : SUMMER BREAK, DAY 4 [Panel 1] Akko and Diana are riding horses, we only see their hooves hitting the ground as they trot. Akko asks “So, we’re going somewhere?” “Yes, I want to take you… somewhere special.” “Ooh is it a surprise?” she excitedly replies. “Hmm, not reall–” [Panel 2] Akko cuts Diana’s answer short. “Don’t tell me! It’s exciting like this!” Akko is beaming with joy and Diana also displays a small smile, as they ride. [Panel 3] Brego raises his head and Akko seeks the approval of Diana “Although… Do you think I’m ready to take him by myself?” [Panel 4] Diana reassures her, looking in her direction with an assured expression “Of course.” [Panel 5] “Besides, he already knows where we’re going, so you don’t have to worry.” They continue trotting down the countryside path. [Panel 6] They enter the nearby woods. Despite being a simple path surrounded by trees, it seems massive compared to them. [Panel 7] We see Diana and Akko venturing further into it from above. “Wow, what is this place? It feels funny.” Diana explains “That’s magic. I wondered if you’d perceive it more, considering you can do it at home.” [Panel 8] Akko reaches her hand for the air around her and tries to process the feeling it gives her. “It’s like… steam after a hot shower, but fresher? Or when you’re completely underwater.” [Panel 9] Diana also gazes in the distance, sharing her melancholic thoughts about it. “To be honest, I wondered if this place would get affected at all by the Tree. And it seems it has…” [Panel 10] Akko stares at her in incredulity. “Why? What’s this place?” [Panel 11] Akko, having ignored the scenery, gets frightened by the sudden appearance of a witch’s face in the bark of a tree and screams. “AH!”
