The image is a six panel black and white comic Panel 1- A small child is being told "You'll want kids when you're older!" The child responds with "I don't think so..." Panel 2- The same child, now a teenager, is being told, "You'll change your mind when you're older." To which the teen responds, "I doubt that" Panel 3- Now an adult, someone off screen asks them, "Aren't you thinking of having kids?" To which they respond, "Nope" Panel 4- The same person, an older adult now, is being told, "better have kids soon, or it'll be too late!" to which they respond, "That's fine" Panel 5- Now elderly, they are once again asked "Don't you feel like you missed out?" to which they say, "Still nope." Panel 6- They are now in their death bed, clearly close to death. The nurse says, "Shame you didn't have kids, don't you regret it?" To which the person says "You know what just kill me already"

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory!

Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

I’ve been enjoying this thread all day but I haven’t seen anyone post the comic version of this classic puchiko post, a perfect work of art coolfrogdude.tumblr.com/post/1907395...
Pikachu pointing at a graph: Doctor: $140k a year. Furry artist on Patreon: $160k a year Charmander (from the audience); I think you’re lowballing the furry art amount tbh Pikachu: I’m sorry for the inaccuracies, Doctor yiff. Charmander: no matter how I respond to this I do t look good, well played. Photo of a heavily tattooed human woman in a bra: well furry artists are typically more competent and courteous than your average doctor, so I can see that. Pikachu: Pikachu: did you legitimately tell me that a person who draws wolf ass is more competent than a dude who spent 8+ years in a university to give you your lung transplant? A frog: doctors are bullshit and furry artists perform an infinitely more valuable service Pikachu: you will die in seven days. Gengar (standing up from the back of the audience): it took doctors like 30 years to diagnose what was wrong with me, Gengar: some insisting I was faking for attention Gengar: While a furry artist I knew just went “that sounds like Crohn’s” and ended up being RIGHT. Gengar: also I can’t go to a doctor and ask them to draw Rouge the Bat wider than she is tall with tits to match now can I. Audience member in the way back: you could if you weren’t a fucking coward.

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

So Kirk is shot and the entire country mourns but 1000s of children have been killed in preventable shooting and it's an "Unavoidable tragedy?"

Give me a fucking break, I feel bad for his wife and kids but the country's empathy is skewed

If you have a beak this will definitely rotate it by 180 degrees so be advised on that as well

Alan Moore from a new interview.

"If we wish to have an inhabitable future for us and our children and their children, then might I quietly suggest we stop electing and tolerating obvious fascist buffoons because we think they're entertaining characters, as if they were housemates on Big Brother. This isn't reality TV. This is reality, or what's left of it. Let us instead protest and rail at these dribbling Nazi idiots to our last breath, rather than beam stupidly as Elon Musk 'sends his heart out to us' Nuremberg style. Let us point out that they are suicidal cretins when they insist that climate change is a Chinese hoax. Let us not give these witless fuckers an inch."

A small doodle in black and white. A cartoon Batman is kneeling and showing off his his shiny ASSets. A tiny me is gesturing to his lovely posterior in awe. Sparkles everywhere.

I'm here for the dignity and prestige.
A two panel comic in black and white. Big text draws you into the top. It reads 'BEHOLD! The Esteemed Cartoonist!' This is followed by a panel of me leaning back in my chair, looking contemplative. There are a couple of sparkles around my head. A small speech bubble reads '...' The second panel is mostly blank, with a much smaller version of myself. Not much has changed, except my mouth is wide open as I say 'I'm gonna draw Batman's butt.' Text below this reads: 'Happy National Cartoonist Day.'

Japanese game cover design is widely admired by players, a true craft they have perfected over the years. In an effort to make their product stand out, many studios explored a more tactile range of materials. The resulting effect is as amusing today as it is instantly nostalgic.🧵

it’s horrific that people are being primed for a lavender scare and long term this reaction against all women will be one step that leads to the liberation of trans women. this paranoia is unsustainable

meanwhile, in the UK:
Natal woman banned from the ladies toilet at work because they think im trans I'm devastated, ashamed & humiliated. I refuse to defend myself by providing "additional evidence to prove natal sex", I think trans women are also women and I will not punch down on trans women out of principle. Im tall and a little masc looking. Girlfriend is a trans woman. Fuck this shit government and terfs. I will not comply, I will not use the gender neutral/disabled. They can sack me, then talk to my lawyer. They will end up paying my mortgage off in damages. I'm venting, not asking for advice.

THE DARK TOWER: THE LONG ROAD (2009)
Acrylic - 30 1/2" x 22"

I've revisited the Dark Tower many times in my career and with each trip to Mid-World I find myself a little farther down the road in my own journey. 1/3
Roland Deschain—tiny in perspective even in the immediate foreground—trudges down a dusty road across empty scrubland. Low mountains give way to sunset sky tinted orange and a bank of clouds. Tentdrils of cloud wrap behind a smooth tower that shows no signs of being anchored to the ground. From the tall thin crenelations at the top, thin bright beams of light shoot outward at 90 degree angles.

Seeing all the incredible art on here makes me want to draw. But I can't even do a convincing stick figure. Where do I even start?
