Honor Bound is a webcomic that Oz and i did 2013-2016. The plan is to get it to a nice end point this year. I made a new cover, haven't drawn much the last few years.

As you may know, I co-designed the Mass Effect board game, which is in my favorite genre of board game: the dungeon crawl/tactical action
Therefore I present this thread of 10 of my favorite board games in this genre, defined as 'you control single characters (not units or armies) and fight others'

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

I’m not just satisfied with Adobe being sued by the US gov, these constant crimes against creatives can only be paid with a Wicker Man type ritual. I don’t make the rules, an executive must be put into a giant burning effigy of Calvin pissing on the Adobe logo.

This morning, I opened a PDF to find Adobe Acrobat giving me an AI-generated summary of it. That led to a rabbit hole of finding all the places Acrobat’s AI Assistant has to be turned off. Here they are: www.wordsbywes.ink/a...

Turning Off Adobe Acrobat's AI Assistant - Words by Wes
This morning, I opened a PDF to find Acrobat giving me an AI-generated summary of it. Since I frequently deal with unpublished manuscripts and other confidential documents for clients, I can’t have them processed by generative AI tools (and I don’t want my PDFs being read by LLMs either). So…

Reminder to my artist friends that this awesome site exists. It lets you pick a species of animal, set the orientation of the skull, and then search for pictures of that animal that match the skull position.
Also, consider tipping the creator if you found it useful!

In the case of Noreen, at least, it looks like the process went wrong somehow. Or is that Antonia?

For the first time since joining Twitter in 2008, I’m really, really questioning the value in sharing my comics on social media.
When we started doing it, cartoonists had an (understood) social compact with platforms. It was basically three trade-offs…
