The cover to the 5th issue of IS TED OK? hit the internets this morning so I figured I'd share here. We haven't met this character yet but, don't worry, she's cool. As usual, avoid the solicits/blurbs of future issues if you want to go in fresh, free of any spoilery stuff.

As a depressed younger artist, my storytelling sometimes suffered. I just couldn't conjure up feelings & images the story needed. Over time I found some strategies for staying professional even when I wasn't feeling it. Thread:

What I really like about this panel is that Giovannini wasn't worried about the guy's head disappearing into the tree branches ā he just thought, "Fuck it, it's a drawing, I'll just put a big halo around him." Anything can work in a comic. That's why they're better than movies.

nobody has the capacity to continually worry about media enshittefication when it is so far out of our control and the damage already beyond repair, but supporting independent and original art at every level is a viable counterbalance
