Imagine deciding the tiny peanut-faced little fucko who wouldn't shut up at family dinners and no one actually knew what he did for a living was suddenly declared the new Messiah for all your most awkward relatives who didn't actually remember him or like him in the first place

Ah yes, the two genders

Just spent an incredible hour watching this ridiculousness with @piaguerra.bsky.social and you must really experience it for yourself. youtu.be/1mz2ADtXTFc?...

Oh ho ho, I'm gonna go chug some soup and hot tea! I sure hope there won't be even more pet pictures when I come back! "Karla. You could just--WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?" "NYQUIL!" "...oh. Fair enough. Of you go, sweet summer prince."

I've had the flu for the past few days and I would HATE IT if you sent me pet pictures. It would not heal me at all. Just like this lootle goofle. Utterly useless.

Had a really fantastic talk with Nasrullah, who asked a lot of great, non-typical questions. Thank you again for having me, my friend!

Funny enough, the first draft of Snow White did include the song "Some Day My Pig Will Come (To Eat Part of My Corpse before the Remainder of My Corpse Is Used for Fairy Houses)"

Had a tough couple days trying to not be a piece of shit, but huh... Turns out fancy egg cups make really nice little sake glasses.

"You called me without texting first?? You are history's greatest monster!" "I had a missed call and thought it might be you." "OKAY CLOSE ENOUGH!! DID YOU HEAR ABOUT--" [cue three hours of ridiculous gossip until my phone ear loses all sensation]

was just looking for @seantcollins.com’s “goofy at the crucification” post and google is so cool now

My MOST favorite con memory was being crammed into a cab at HeroesCon, with @cheryllynneaton.bsky.social @champsuperstar.bsky.social and @nicknewt.bsky.social It was an epic evening, and being at Heroes again a few months ago with CL reminded us both of how ridiculous and fantastic that was.

New at @comicsjournal.bsky.social: Gretchen Felker-Martin speaks out about DC Comics cancelling Red Hood, and her comments on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "I had no regrets." www.tcj.com/horror-it-gi...

Reminder that I have a horror comic coming out next month that you can still pre-order Hector Plasm: Hunt the Bigfoot by me and Derek Hunter — ghosts, witches, cryptids, murder, secrets, all in one mystery

If I'd gotten my knees replaced when they were first DEFINITELY supposed to be replaced, they would have been shit. These little fucks I got last year? Squeaky masterpieces.

I constantly struggle with talking about Real Shit™ (that may impede my job prospects) and making my stupid little jokes (that may impede my job prospects). Not to mention all the fully legit reasons I impede my own job prospects (sheer force of personality, baybeeee)...

Some MFers don't believe me when I talk about how deeply ingrained anti-Arab sentiment is in the comic book industry. Here's the guy who made HOLY TERROR & a public Islamophobic tirade, being celebrated w/ a guy who's inferring he ACTUALLY tortured Arabs, while a 3rd giggles like a buffoon about it

"Karla, did you have something you needed to do today?" "OH OBVIOUSLY" "Something that *wasn't* making bad photo edits because you got some animal names confused?" "...I mean, also obviously. But that's why I did this instead, see!!"

How do you answer your phone?

Tansi ya'll!! I need your help. My Ted Talk is finally live on YouTube, but I really need views & engagement so it can graduate from TedX to the official Ted site. That way it'll help more people discover comics and Indigenous Story Robes!! youtu.be/MNeqk_XehEk?...

An almost 10 minute video, and not a single mention of killing 3-4 Nazis? I feel robbed.

@thekarlapacheco.bsky.social Loved your appearance on @marvelbythemonth.com. Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun but you've had me saying "those mother-f'n leprechauns!" all day. Not a bad thing though.

Perfectly normal amount of medical appointments for one month, very conducive to a regular work and life schedule! In other news, uh...hope you guys still like patreons by next week or something.

my book PAYAL MEHTA'S ROMANCE REVENGE PLOT comes out in paperback in just a few short weeks, so I'm re-upping a newsletter I wrote last year about using humor to write through tough subjects, and how laughter is a weapon we can use when we don't have any others

Gotta start carrying that as your default doctors note for any situation. "Sorry, no jury duty for me, your honor, doc says i'm too caked up wid it"

Reading my latest Mayo clinic results and discovered my doc basically said "Thicc as hell, but chill." Medical Badonk!

COMIC BOOK EDITORS & CREATORS! I'm available for logo work, book design, brand design and consultation, marketing/social media templates and graphics, etc. If you’re a cool person and want to make a cool thing, drop me a line. dylantodd.com/work

Post the first song you totally lost your shit about, quietly thinking "OH GOD THIS IS ABOUT *MY LIFE* RIGHT NOW!!!" ...but be honest youtu.be/yamxg2oCfwo?...

Had to see a new bone doctor, and he's kinda cringing through everything about me (frequent occurrence with new docs). Eventually he says "Yeah, so everything hurts because most people's bodies aren't forced to do this much just to stand upright." Me: "Dang, what's that like?" SD: "It's awesome!"

comics people, holler at him and check it out. I had a good time with this one. I'd recommend it to folks who enjoy James Ellroy's American Tabloid, the way he weaves old LA into new and interesting shapes, or Mosley's Devil in a Blue Dress. Very compatible vibes. Call it a micro-genre.

"I'm not middle-aged, I'm balls deep into my fourth decade."

Just randomly sending pictures of my bones to the group chat because being my friend is an ongoing series of horrors

Rock Looked Way Cooler Wet

"Karla, did you move to Arizona because you misheard a crucial syllable when someone told you there's an annual *haboob* season?" "haha no...don't be silly!" 😒

Hey - Image creators. You likely have received a mail from someone claiming they're at image. This very much feels like a phishing scam. Don't click the link, and spread word to collaborators.

Remember when Blockbuster Video gave a dude so many late fees he decided we should all borrow DVDs in the mail and then destroy the entire cable industry and shove a weird hot metal spike up the movie industry's keister for both better and worse? Anyway, never underestimate the power of spite.

Time for the midnight devil's snack

Monday (today???) is your last chance to pre-order our stupid genius

SD bought me a copy of "Tiny Bookshop" because, quote, "This is the most Karla game ever" and I was still mid-tutorial when I scrolled over a book description and found @trungles.com in the wild. I GLEEFULLY SHRIEKED so loud it annoyed both the dog and the neighbors. Incredible.

I have a few watercolor workshops available this fall! These little bite sized sessions are perfect for all skill levels! www.holliskitchin.com/product-page...

The New Problem We All Live With.

"I'm not middle-aged, I'm balls deep into my fourth decade."

This is a genuine contender for the all-time best photo ever taken of a cartoonist.

i am so sick of the dumbest people alive being in charge of everything and the second dumbest people alive writing opinion columns about how it's good

Clock is ticking, get your [checks notes] HORRIBLE KARLA AND PERE TIMES TODAY

So what's extra funny about this is I didn't know Pere would be drawing the book when I first wrote the script! So for once I was forced to actually, y'know, *do my job* instead of just putting "Pere, draw a pirate themed titty bar here." And yet...
