Also I found these shirts and I can't stop laughing at both the concept and the abysmal art. That second one isn't even AI, it's just sadly hilarious. They couldn't find a photo with Kash Patel where he didn't look miserable?
JD Vance, Elon Musk, RFK Jr, and Trump sitting on a VERY SUPER AMERICAN front porch with "Thug Life" in yellow text. Very AI. Same basic concept but with Kash Patel and the faces are definitely added in post.

Me: There’s a lot going on in her little head.

My husband: Yeah but what’s going on is a game of Marco Polo where everyone’s shouting “Polo!”

It's webcomic time, and Charlie is bi-panicking herself into atrocious avoidable alliteration!

I *could* talk about today's SIDEQUESTED or I could just point out That One Guy.

If you prefer novels to comics, I have multiple ongoing series in both science fiction and fantasy. Come for the cyborgs, stay for the baby gods.

FAMILY DEMONS is a Patreon-exclusive comic for $1 and up.

In a world where magic was lost and then rediscovered, Penny and her siblings woke up and found every adult in their large extended family was gone. But they had left the kids in charge of the Hellmouth. Oops.

Time for a new pinned post!

I'm KB Spangler, an indie author who creates comics with my partner-in-crime, @alepresser.com

Our current #comics are comedy science fiction & fantasy (FAMILY DEMONS) and fantasy (SIDE QUESTED), because reality is being a bummer and we need more joy.

Look at all of this cheap shit. Now imagine the gold bling is cats. Dusty ceramic cat statues, little embroidered pictures of cats, old framed posters of cats so old the ink has faded.

This is a crazy cat man but for bling.

Winner of today’s Worst Human award is me, I’m the villain.
The same two dogs only MUCH fluffier. The brown dog looks like her entire world has ended. The black dog is a lab and is, as always, unbothered.

Last over-70 degree day of the year so it’s time to thoroughly scrub these two used bath mats.
A black dog and a brown dog, both with white chests. They are outside. Imagine stink lines coming from them.

Seems like we should be paying more attention to how *****Jeffery Freakin' Epstein***** was all "Hell no, that guy's sick, he should NOT be president!" in the run-up to 2016.

This is a deleted scene from GET OUT
A youngish white man in a gray suit with pink accents stares through a pane of glass. His expression is...blankly and smilingly aggressive.

Ale: I love bards!

Me: I hate them. So much.

Ale: Tough, we have a bard character now.

Me: *planning out years and years of psychological and emotional bard torture* Cool.

Princess Robin looks at Prince Leopold and asks, somewhat askance, "You DO have friends, right?" Leo, barely seen behind a pile of boxes, says in a small voice, "I thought I did."

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want.

("Inside Threat," sixth book in the Rachel Peng series, coming December!)
Once you outgrew the excessive titillation, strip clubs were relaxing. Always dark, always with music playing. The ebb and flow of customers, the cyclical staff drama, all peaceful in its predictability. Since it was his club he chose to work the night shift, which came with the occasional fistfight or unwanted groping, and then he could get a little extra exercise as he bounced miscreants into the nearby lake. Workers and customers both thought of him as a friendly kind of dangerous, so sometimes he let his own rules slip and got laid. For the most part, all he had to do was pour drinks and listen to lonely men tell him familiar stories. And he always made sure the local military boys got their first beer on the house. “Ron?” He looked up from his crossword puzzle. Laura—Cinnamon. Remember to call her Cinnamon during business hours. C’mon, man, you’re not new.—was leaning over the bar, arms crossed over her bare chest. That alone would have gotten him to put down the puzzles. It was always hot in the club, and nobody cared about casual nudity. Modesty was a warning sign. Laura—Cinnamon—glanced at the mirrors on her left.

Almost everything is Not Great but at least we have comics! And those are pretty great, tbh.

At SIDEQUESTED, poor Prince Leopold is puzzling things out.

A small cartoony version of Prince Leopold is imagining a large assortment of puzzle pieces. Some of the pieces are labeled with "Leo" "friendship" "Prince Leopold" "Respect "Manners"
