I do all the things, but mostly write, draw, and research monsters & manga from my house held up by books in Kumamoto, Japan.

Pretty happy with this and basically all the stuff I’ve made like this that initially came to me in a dream. The dream goblins have been generous to me this year.
I’ve never seen the 90s cartoon, but knew the 80s comic as it was a parody of Frank Miller’s Daredevil

In the midst of enjoying the Female Prisoner Scorpion series with KAJI Meiko, I decided to check out Mermaid Legend (1984) also based on a gekiga comic. What a climax! Man, I thought Battle Royale was ultra-violent…

The older I get, the more I find myself agreeing with Donkey Kong’s core philosophy, which is, as I understand it, “banana “

I was bad at Tweetering, but had my accounts algos working okay until the muskrat effed it all up. I’m still bad at bskying in that I can’t quite get it to be as useful or fun as I’d like.
If anyone happens to know some awesome accounts or lists I should follow here and put into a list lemme know.

YES!!
can't think of a single man who deserves this honor more. Keith David is a national treasure. not only is he one of the best voice actors working today but he was maybe the only actor who could've fought Rowdy Roddy Piper to a standstill.
Keith David’s reaction to receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
So deserved! Thank you for your work and impact! 👏

This is why there are so many smart phones with cracked screens.
truly pity the younger generations that will never know the satisfying CLAAAANGGG of slamming a phone down in someone's ear

One of my favorite series to come out in the last two decades. I used to read chapters of it out loud in Japanese to my daughter's fifth grade class. Quick Q for you @evandorkin.bsky.social , what's one of your favorite comic book sound effects?
Once again plugging the BEASTS OF BURDEN OMNIBUS in the hopes of selling a copy or two. In this modern comics world, a book comes out and disappears like a pebble in a lake. I keep taking the pebble out and drying it. I don't think that metaphor works but fuck it.
BUY THIS BOOK. DON'T POSTPONE JOY.

This looks fantastic! Kerascoët is probably my favorite BD artist(s)! Very glad I got to meet them in Tokyo some years ago.
Paper Dolls est maintenant sold out chez notre éditeur, mais nous avons des pistes pour une prochaine vie à ce livre… et peut-être une suite.
