Another drawing I did to keep me on my path forward as I write my new OGN.

And I be remiss if I didn't mention my "True Weird" backup story in BEAST OF BORIKÉN #2, out August 12! Me, the legendary @oeming.bsky.social, and @adityab.net tackle the story of my favorite internet peculiarity, the time-traveling John Titor!

New P.G Wodehouse novel just dropped

Began doodling ideas for the next font because I had a free afternoon. Not too shabby for a day's work, I think. I'm thinking this would work great with 3-4 alternates – organic, bouncy, unpredictable.

My favorite Robert Mapplethorpe self portrait. It was 1988. He was diagnosed with AIDS two years before and he would die the next year. One of the great Memento Mori images in the history of art, and a portrait of a man determined to grab death by the throat and keep working.

Whole thread, God this is so fucking enraging, we have absolutely failed this generation of students and as failures go I don’t see how that one can be forgiven

Genuinely one of the best podcasts I've ever listened to. I never shut up about it.

This is what it means to be alive. New short comic, drawn by @mopedcow.bsky.social (one of the greats) and written by me. It’s called “Diaphanoids.” (Free to read here, hi-res version and additional process .pdf available on Gumroad.)

I think this is a good and compassionate take from Keezy. However, publishing contracts usually contain clauses that specifically say any accusations of academic misconduct, plagiarism, inaccuracy etc are on you, the author, not on them, the publisher. Here is what I think happened--

Plums Ripening acryla gouache

One of the tiers on this campaign includes a page of original art, the hand-lettered pages pages used to create the comic. India ink (and sometimes white acrylic corrective) over blue line on 100# white card stock. Not everyone has original comic art hanging up in their home, but you can!

When your brand is being pompous know-nothings pontificating on topics you're too lazy to even Google, well... I guess you might as well lean into it.

It pains me to admit this, but a week after having watched Dhurandhar, I haven't stopped listening to the soundtrack. Almost every song is a banger.

If you told me in 2001 that Johnny Knoxville and the Jackass team would become role models for positive masculinity in 2026... Anyway. Dudes Rock!

Every day is like “this company is trying to build a gateway to hell” yet we are all supposed to pretend like everything is fine.

Individual panels by B. Krigstein (colored by Marie Severin)

Nikolai Kochergin (1897-1974)

This book is marvellous.

The new saffron nazi government of my state just passed a law that allows them to incarcerate anyone they deem 'anti-social' (aka protesters, activists, students, victims of pogroms, going by the BJP rulebook) for up to a year without bail or legal representation. Good luck to us all.

What a ridiculous figure Robert Eggers is, making a series of beautiful, confrontationally uncompromising films about subjects in which he is deeply interested. Let's get him

I recall some folks complaining that Eggars made a movie where New England witches were real, but that's what makes The Witch interesting: it's an exercise in taking the worldviews of the Puritan settlers seriously, in all of their repression, hysteria and terror.

Kinda crazy proud of this, ngl

Alan Davis didn't do a lot of Batman... But he still managed to draw one of the best Batman pages

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

Trop belle pour toi
