As long as I'm plugging Kickstarters, you should pick up this gorgeous hardcover of White Ash Vol 1, to which I have no financial stake outside of a single 10 page story. But I mostly just want you to read really good comics.

I regret to inform you that I'll be shilling for a whole other Kickstarter for the next month.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Get ready for the year of GALAXY!

TFW Gil Thorp is there.

honestly its pretty neat that I get to make this deeply serious unserious book with my friends. comics people - I recommend finding the space to make something that makes the world feel a little bit LESS. maybe thats the point. 90 mins left for FUNeral Home.

Releasing a Star Wars trailer like "break glass in case of PR nightmare.'

If we get $500 in the next 30 min michele and I can get paid to make comics! What a concept 😂

This is an extremely big deal.

I love these old dudes just eating their lunch. They don't give a shit about murders or scandals or owls or the evil in those woods, they're just old and want pie.

I would love to love Mastodon, but I hate the sensation of walking on pins and needles there. Just gonna get banned or scolded or simply Exist In The Wrong Place somehow.

Thinking about numbers. At the peak of my daily webcomic career, I had 5000 unique daily visitors, in 2003. I have 12,900 followers on Bluesky right now, but haven't drawn a regular webcomic in years. From this faulty data, I must now conclude that lettering is cooler than comic strips.

IF YOU EVER LOVED ME, NOW IS THE TIME TO BACK OUR PROJECT. (I probably don't need to be quite so dramatic. But maybe I do?) FUNeral Home: a 30 Page One-Shot Comic, via Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/cer...

"APX picked up DragonQuest in their last full quarter...Then Atari went belly up. According to their accounting department, they never sold any copies, or at least they never sent me any of my promised royalties." - www.atariarchives.org/APX/showinfo... anyway here's a copy I just found!

The idea of being scared of trans people is hilarious because you actually meet a trans person and they're like "Hey, what'd you think about last night's Dynamite?" or "I can't believe how good this weed is."

Stuff like this is why I feel like visiting the Billy last year kinda changed my life.

happy batman day

Increasingly, my only mindset has been 'the only way out is through.' Get more weird. Become more niche. Cultivate less broadly marketable stuff. If people come out of this being feral little trash goblins, it will be a response to outside stimulus and nothing else. That's totally on them.

We’ve been cleared to share it, so we can say we did a variant cover for Absolute Martian Manhunter 7, dropping December 24! The book slaps, we were delighted to be asked to contribute. @denizcamp.bsky.social and @javierrodriguez.bsky.social really have something special with this book.

By the by, I recommend Criterion earlier, and it's obviously a great service, but if you've got extra streaming money, it's also never been a better time in history to become a Viewers Like You and subscribe to PBS Passport.

Getting new lettering jobs and being like, "let me check my calendar, they might've rounded me up into an internment camp by then."

The Jodie Letters Stuff Chart updated with today's December solicits.

"Hey everybody, we're FUEL, and you're watching MTV2." is an extremely specific moment in time to hear on this VHS transfer.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

Last call for FUNeral Home 💜🔫🩸🏳️‍🌈 less than 3 days to go! A comic about sapphic assassins who bury people for a living. It's not burying your gays if your gays are burying everyone. From me @fellhound.bsky.social @longtalljodie.com @heatherantos.bsky.social @skyepatridge.bsky.social & Kiela Sibal

This would rule though, right?

IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME! I love that this began as a Friend Thing because I was just stoked to work with my boys Benito and Nick, and now it's become my first credit for Image. Our story is such a hoot too, can't wait for you to see it. (The four preview pages in the below post are from our story!)

You know I'm deeply old and maybe wildly out of touch with the rest of humanity because I still use phrases like "not ready for prime time" and "film at 11."

This remains buck wild.

If you've got that Disney money burning a hole in your pocket, may I suggest:

Hey #StarTrek Fans! We want to know your favorite moments in ANY of the #StarTrekComics! It can be hilarious, chill inducing, or a moment that made you want to boldly go where no man has gone before. It just has to be from the #comics. Let us know below! #LowerDecks

we're at 241 backers, can we get to 250? 🥲🏳️‍🌈

Staring at the spreadsheet of all the comics I was to draw years ago and sighing wistfully.

I'm so stoked about some Classic @thekylestarks.bsky.social.

Most Americans do not understand how wildly behind the rest of the world we are in so many aspects of life.

Hey folks! I'm still over the moon excited about lettering this book with my friends. The idea was "let's make a book for fun/relaxation/relief from this relentless onslaught of nightmares" and I think it achieves that goal admirably. So go support it and get a copy if you think that sounds nice?

I just got to the part of this week's @warrocketajax.com that made me emotional. Dang. Love those boys.

I couldn't get tickets to the world premiere of Frankenstein in Imax. They sold out in milliseconds. My only choice was to get there 40 minutes early and wait in the standby line. Guillermo del Toro walked by, saw me waiting, and had his team give me one of his personal guest tickets.

What if I started replying to all of my editors with "if that is the will of the council, then Gondor will see it done."

Listen to Michele and I talk FUNeral Home and gush about comics!!

Canceling Disney things. New ESPN streaming service, I hardly knew ye.

If you haven’t already, now is the perfect time to start building your indie shit

I bought Silksong on Switch mostly so I’ll have a reference for having played it when GOTY podcasts start to hit, but I’ve been walking on glass when playing it thanks to almost everyone so know playing it also complaining about the difficulty (and these are people who blast through Souls games).

After the somewhat crushing disappointment of DC WIP All Star Superman, DC WIP Absolute Batman is a home run. They clearly got the original art this time, with full color scans that'd be fine in any Artists Edition. You see bleeding ink, white out, even painter's tape. It's beautiful.

we'll have to go back to having a file cabinet of stuff cut out of magazines for reference

The packs of Newports going around mostly reminds me that I loathe smoking but also have always loved the graphic design of cigarette packaging.

I feel like I'm slighting the rest of the team on FLOW by not tagging them, but they aren't here! That said, obviously Paula Sevenbergen's script and Claudia Balboni's art and Fabi Marques's colors are all aces. And working for @jamesbemmett.bsky.social and @madcavestudios.com has been a dream.

Don's pick of the week: Flow #1 by Paula Sevenbergen & Claudia Balboni, from @madcavestudios.com
