"..our nervous systems are built off of gun culture whether we use them or not. Every day we go outside there's a chance we may not come home. So, when that guy puts his gun up and threatens somebody, that person is going to be like I can die going into the 7-11 in a half hour so calm down."

What's Up With COVID and What We Can Do About It: 2026 Edition I've thoroughly updated this public health propaganda zine! With new information about: Adjusting mask fit CO2 monitoring Improving ventilation for infection control Read at newlevant.com/COVIDzine or in the thread below 👇

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

Star Trek had transgender characters before you knew what transgender was

Ignorance is not synonymous to prejudice. The extra step to prejudice is choosing to believe the bad thing. So ignorance is not responsible for prejudice, the person is.

Just 8 days left! PAY WHAT YOU WANT for a MASSIVE manga fest! The @humblebundle.com Comics Bundle: Lone Wolf & Cub and More by Koike ENCORE by @darkhorse.com is up to $605 worth of AMAZING downloadable comics you KEEP! Hurry, ends Jan. 24! GO: www.humblebundle.com/books/lone-w...

If all my freelance payments would suddenly come in, it would instantly wipe out all my debts. But... that ain't gonna happen...

It's genuinely confusing why, over and over again, organizations that cater to, or are dependent upon, artists writers and creators decide to absolutely fucking enrage their constituency with "AI," only to be required to backtrack after considerable loss of goodwill

i imagine this is how they're going to keep rounding up their 2026 hiring numbers despite everything

hey, elected officials? nobody who says anything like revamp or reform or rehabilitate or retrain ICE has my vote. i don't want ICE 2.0. i don't want "hurt and terrorize and murder and abduct my neighbors but in a more socially acceptable way." get them fucking gone and maybe we'll talk

Who TF is out here asking YouTube for an AI created highlight of their live?

This INCLUDES INDEPENDENTS AND REPUBLICANS. Among Democrats, the number is SEVENTY SEVEN PERCENT. Any Democrat who isn't saying abolish ICE is serving someone other than you and me.

Glad you got a copy! That printing raised money for the Hero Initiative, though. George didn't need the money himself, but he was always willing to fundraise for a good cause.

Running a drop behind Shop will be opening ten minutes late.

Are colleges still off this week? Inquiring retail businesses need to know...

Thank me? Thank YOU, dude! I think @joshixson.bsky.social and anyone who was there would agree that you, Joe Ciano, were the MVP of this signing. So so so many characters you sketched for people! So much explaining and pitching to random customers... It was an absolute joy to watch you work, Joe.

Been a while since we did a signing where people were reaching out to now how much they can get signed in advance.. Now you all know.

Brilliant stuff from Absolute Batman: Ark-M! If you haven't picked up a copy yet or just want yours signed, come to @escapepodcomics.bsky.social tonight 5:30pm-7pm! @joshixson.bsky.social will be there! I'll be there too signing with Josh for our graphic novel Children of the Woods

🎶Today is gonna be the dsy When they're gonna sign stuff for you!🎵 🎵By now you should have somehow Figured out if you're gonna come through. 🎶 🎶I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about comics🎶 Don't miss it! Gonna be a blast!

There are people who still don't understand that you can do everything right--you can do everything they tell you--and you will still be shot in the face.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

I am working on a new YouTube series for the shop based on (completely and wholly ripped off from, to be frank) my favorite Instagram series. Already got a great logo mock up from Emily and Joey has the first five to edit... Get hype!

You can make a community more inclusive by kicking people out! Welcome to paradoxical social dynamics! Thank you for following this thread, please share it with whoever needs to see it.

I don't know if Avery Hill are just being very humble here just talking about their creators but they themselves are up for BEST PUBLISHER! HELLO? That's amazing, folks! xxx

this is so cool

Look, I don't know why folk think Scott Snyder is going to be at this thing. As far as I know, @ssnyder1835.bsky.social has no idea this about it! Also, he's a very very busy dude! So yeah, don't expect him! But Josh and Joe are worth the price of admission. Hell, ten times it! (Free event)

Go home Ash Ketchum, T-Rex has got all the types of dudes. It's over.

FLASH GORDON! Alex Raymond's first strip debuted on this day 92 years ago, and we're still doing it today. And tomorrow. The day after that, too ⚡

And who knows, maybe @ssnyder1835.bsky.social will stop by! (he probably won't.)

Look! I don't think @ssnyder1835.bsky.social is going to come to this, really. But I would love if he did! Especially because I want to discuss a very different kind of event with him. Scott, if you can't make it Thursday DM here to discuss something cool for Spring!

Jan. 6, 2021:

@ericafails.bsky.social ,just checking if you saw the email I sent last week?

😭

This week!

I get emails weekly from readers asking me how they can buy THE SCOTTISH BOY since Unbound went bankrupt. I really hope a new publisher picks it up soon :/ We already have an offer for digital rights and if nobody goes for print rights I’ll just do a Sanderson and Kickstart a nice limited edition

Universal healthcare is important so that more people can read webcomics

Logging on :V (panel is from my graphic-novel-in-production, "Lucas and Odessa," script by me, fantastic art by @megrar.bsky.social!)

Seeing that Captain America panel posted everywhere again. The next two panels are worth checking out too. From Daredevil #283 (1990) by Ann Nocenti and Mark Bagley.

Look! I don't think @ssnyder1835.bsky.social is going to come to this, really. But I would love if he did! Especially because I want to discuss a very different kind of event with him. Scott, if you can't make it Thursday DM here to discuss something cool for Spring!

This is THIS WEEK! THURSDAY

City of Buffalo NY Food Pantries List

Don't forget, our first event of 2026 is right into the new year! Local author @amazingjciano.bsky.social and his Children of the Woods partner, international sensation @joshixson.bsky.social on January 8th!

New year, new sets! Adding so many discount runs to the sets.

Hi, @ssnyder1835.bsky.social I'm sorry to bother but if you wanted to stop by the @joshixson.bsky.social event on Thursday that would be super duper cool BUT... I actually have a bigger question to ask you and would prefer to do it privately. Where would I do that? Email? DMs? Let me know, please?

Love them or hate them, Wizard magazine had good takes sometimes.

The first restock of 2026 is one of our best sellers of 2025, and almost certainly not what you'd expect...

That's it. The 12th annual clearance sale is over! Gonna keep this gorgeous collage by Srah up... At least until Xmas town is up. Hopefully that means not much longer. 😭🤣

One week! @joshixson.bsky.social and @amazingjciano.bsky.social!

Nancy Drew, she needed the money!
