Me: "So they made a video game based off of those sapphic music videos! Yeah it's called 'Honkai Star Rail'"

So years before I came out, there would be instances of conventions, etc. inviting me to speak on queer cartoonist panels. And I always would sent very polite emails going "oh I'm not queer, I just like to have a lot diversity in my stories" HMM HOW SILLY, WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING

So I had a deviated septum fixed recently and it turns out I basically had no sense of smell until now. Was nobody going to tell me *everything* had a smell??? I only thought it was some things!

Two weeks left on these little guys!

It should be illegal to be this tired.

It's coming. It's coming. IT'S COMING.🔥🔥🔥

It's coming. It's coming. IT'S COMING.🔥🔥🔥

Being nice is severely underrated. I like it when readers are nice to me, it's my favorite thing!

I've spent a week trying to figure out why many white women, especially Midwesterners, are very loud steppers, or Clompers, if you will. I think it's because they kind of lead with their shoulders when they walk, as white people don't move their hips much, putting more weight into each oncoming step

It turns out drawing after not drawing for over two weeks is Very Hard. This is the longest I've gone in decades, what a world

I'm glad you like it 🥲 Thanks for making your cute comic!!

Oh my heavens, @miraongchua.com's take on Kim and Ling is so marvelous 💜💜💜

TFW putting on weight ended up being a little *too* successful

Here's some photos from my 18-day trip to Seoul! And before you ask, yes I was in fact hit on my multiple Hongdae Lesbians, the legends are true

How is there not an international ban on motion smoothing on TVs yet, how can this go on

on the topic of dick cheney, one thing i’ve always said is that you shouldn’t kill a million people

I finally watched the James Gunn Superman and if anything, I think people undersold how hard it goes on Israel. Watching the Justice Gang/League beat the shit out of the not-IDF and dropping not-Netanyahu to his doom was magnificent. Also Lex Luthor just being Elon Musk is inspired.

So unfortunately there's no new comic today. BUT it's because I'm just now coming back from my two-week Kickstarter-mandated vacation (I actually planned on making a comic while I was away, but my laptop broke). Rest assured I'll be back to weekly updates next Monday, thanks for your patience!

I was obsessed with gamebooks as a kid, I also had those Forgotten Forest fantasy ones, which I don't remember that well, but one of them had a wizard war, so ten points out of the gate.

Hey internet, I'm searching in vain for an 80s gamebook series that was a Choose Your Own Adventure thing, but a different. It was explicitly just horror stories, and it wasn't the 90s Goosebumps ones. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? One book had you trapped in a mall, I remember that.

I just know three years after highschool they got married and opened a cat cafe.

It's true! In the original draft of Dark Science, Xiaoling was a one-off enemy. Now she's the most important secondary protagonist and Kim's girlfriend!

He's just like me

Sometimes I'm like: But other times I'm like:

Because I've always been a deeply uncool person, I'm often confused as to why teens will act like I am a Cool Adult that they can talk to. But then I remember their main point of comparison is their parents, who I think by default are going to be less cool.

I'm not so deranged as to think a headcanon is fact, but I say with 1000% certainty Julia from Cowboy Bebop is trans. If you know you know. Also fun fact: after Bebop, Keiko Nobumoto wrote Tokyo Godfathers, which also has a well-written trans woman!

One of the less talked-about advantages of being gay is the immense surge of power we get from the shadow of the New Moon. Once a month I can lift a Smart Car clear over my head.

Being friends with a straight girl is scary because she could show up one day with a boyfriend named Crisp or Debbin and I'll have to nervously let him talk at me about IPAs or Christopher Nolan, because removing him from his comfort zone would explode him like a decompressing deep sea fish.

I share this mainly as a reminder that success can do a lot of things, but it sure won't make you less neurotic!

Once a week I'll worry that nobody reads Dark Science anymore and that I never get new readers. But then my gf helpfully points out that my brain is goofed in a specific way, where weekly I forget that my new Dark Science book sold a bazillion copies this year and also my Patreon pays all my bills

I can't tell you how often I unnecessarily use the phrase "Gay Fuck-Boy" in my daily life because of this comic.

Wondering if I'll reach a point where I'll stop thinking I'm being gaslit when an adult woman on the street says I'm attractive.

I'm really enjoying Panzer Paladin. It plays a bit like Metal Warriors for the SNES, except instead of swapping through a bunch of mechs, your mech swaps through all kinds of weapons, it's a lot of fun!

This person they’re always describing? The Idea Guy. The person who has NO ability to make a film, book or game, but somehow has all the requisite knowledge and experience with the medium to generate an exceptional idea? That person does not exist.

I had to go through my ROADQUEEN art recently and found these old reference pages of the girls, so I'm sharing them for anyone who might enjoy them 🖤💗

It's actually remarkably easy to not ever use ChatGPT.

this one doin numbers on mastodon but bsky doesn't let me have enough characters

It's funny because IT NEVER ENDS

It's so funny when old reflexes are still somewhere in the body. I picked up Panzer Dragoon and hit 90% on every level while half awake. I knew all those middle school days on the Sega Saturn weren't wasted, now I can mildly impress tweets standing nearby!
