THIS JUST IN! fresh games from the Digital Planet have arrived with a brand new theme:

🌐 WORLD WIDE WEIRD 🌐

we assume the games deal with the World, Width, and/or Weirdness... but our Official Space Stance is:

idk yay games!!

good news and bad news!

good news: the weird signals we've been getting from the Digital Planet are not Super Scary Space Viruses, they're just sneak peeks at the upcoming games!

bad news: we destroyed a lot of computers before that realization...

anyway, here's what we've got so far! 👀🔭✨

gather around everyone, our Top Astronauts have made a discovery: a Digital Planet! it’s like a normal planet, but also the internet?

we’re still investigating, but so far we know that it’s weird and it’s dropping a bunch of games next month!!

stay tuned! 🌐🔭✨

It's time for a big ol' reminder thread of who's who and what's what.

My short comic, Viewfinder Landing is in this anthology!!
It was really fun taking part :D
A comic cover. It is a drawing of a black man doing a backflip. He has his hands out in front of his face making a frame shape. There is a viewfinder shape overlaid the man's face. The text on the cover says "Viewfinder Landing" and "Written and illustrated by gleamiarts"

This week's NIF interviews also include Lee Onysko, Laura Romano and Ashanti Fortson! Check them out here: cartoonist.coop/journal/

Again, to get all the updates on NIF, sign up for our newsletter: nif.cartoonist.coop/newsletter #NIF2025
Lee Onysko: A simple cartoony icon of Lee Onysko. At the bottom of the icon just their head pokes out, a circle with ears and hair stubs. They're smiling and wearing big, round, yellow glasses. Around them float various squares, stars, triangles, and shapes in the colors red, yellow, blue, and black. Laura Romano: A simple pencil drawing of a woman with big eyes, long hair, and no other features over a faded blue and yellow background with blurred white and orange lights at the bottom. Headshot photo of Ashanti Fortson standing in front of a mosaic wall, smiling slightly. Ashanti is a fat Afro-Mexican person with light brown skin, dark curly hair, and large round dark-rimmed glasses. They are wearing a cute Totoro button-up and a yellow hand-knit cardigan.
