Drew a mudling for a Patreon supporter! Meet Chalky!
Drawing of a “mudling” named Chalky. Form looks like a mud ball with big eyes and is waving. There is a word balloon with a smiling face. Leaf debris and a stick pops out of their head. Drawn by RLTN 2025

Books with Pictures (@bkswpicspdx.bsky.social) in Portland, Oregon is a GREAT comic shop, and its owner in @omgkatiep.bsky.social is one of the best. The shop is going through a hard time right now, and if you want to help BwP out, they opened a GoFundMe to help do just that.

Portland has a new museum, but its founders want it to be more than the new Northwest Museum of Cartoon Arts to do more than pay tribute to comic arts. They envision it also as a community center and teaching museum.

For thousands of years, humans have harnessed microbes to ferment beer and bread. But ecologist Rob Dunn asks: Who’s really in charge of this relationship?

“Our genes changed when we started to tangle with yeast and lactic acid bacteria, and theirs didn't. And so from the standard storytelling, we would say, well, they domesticated us.” -Dr. Rob Dunn

A few weeks back, I got the Special Prerelease Edition of the Muddy Goose Guide to the Weird Northwest. You can find one of my comics in this anthology :) and my first* anthology I must add!
The Muddy Goose Guide to the Weirf Northwest, Published by Frances' publishing company, @DemagoguePress this Special Prerelease Edition has 24 stories that take place in Washington and Oregon, you roll a dice to land on a spot on the cover, and you and some friends can go head out to see the sight. I would say my story is probably the only comic but the short stories and poems I'm reading are definitely fun and makes me want to explore of the PNW!

Underground networks of mycorrhizal fungi quietly support life on Earth, but scientists say they're often overlooked. A new digital atlas puts the spotlight on these hidden ecosystems and where they need more protection. 🌍🍄

This is more than a decade old, but here's a reminder that it still exists and is still beautiful.

And maybe you need to play it right now and just turn off everything else.

One Big Family!

Read more cartoons! #PoliCartoon
Help us make more! patreon.com/barry
TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has four panels, plus a tiny "kicker" panel under the bottom of the fourth panel. PANEL 1 An executive type leans against his desk as he smiles and talks to us. EXEC: At our company, nothing matters more than our employees! PANEL 2 The same executive is now outdoors, holding a shovel next to a hole for a tree that's to be planted. EXEC: Treating every worker as a partner in the company isn't just the right thing to do, it's good business! PANEL 3 The executive, still grinning and talking to us, is now in a corporate mailroom. A worker with a nametag stands next to him, smiling, and he has an avuncular hand on her shoulder. EXEC: From board members like me to the folks in the mailroom, we're all one big family. PANEL 4 The worker, still smiling, has turned to talk to the exec. He smiles at her, but it's sadistic looking. WORKER: That's great to hear! Because we've decided to start a union! EXEC: Go jump in a meat grinder. TINY KICKER PANEL AT THE BOTTOM The exec talks to Barry the cartoonist. EXEC: What I meant was, nothing matters more than our employees... knowing their place.
