Still loling at this graphic from a presentation my student gave last week about how to flat for comics

tfw you're dying horribly on an expedition that you realize you could easily have just not embarked upon

This has been my system for years, very effective if you take meds at night

Sorry I’m gonna QT: Comic writing is not a complete element separate from the art & also completely misunderstands how much the artist co-creates the story with character design, character acting, pacing, coloring, lettering style, etc; components the writer does not or cannot contribute to.

I know we're all very into early 00s nostalgia these days but launching a senseless war in the middle east is really taking it too far imo

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

It has finally reached a point where a .6mm Rapidograph pen is both too expensive and difficult to find, and I can no longer justify asking the students in my Lettering class to get one. Truly the end of an era 😞🙏

For the record, this is what you do when you're given orders that cross a clear moral boundary. You quit. I'd tell all you cops and ICE boys to take note, but it seems we may fundamentally disagree about where those boundaries are.

Trying to live my life so that when I die it’s a “pour one out for a real one” scenario over a “rest in piss” situation

I can only assume Adams will be laid to rest in a Dilbert-shaped mausoleum

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

It is my favorite time of year, when scripts for the next issue of Spitball start hitting my inbox!

Ideas are nothing; finished work is everything. Sit down and do it.

GoFundMe’s Terms of Service absolutely do not allow funds to be raised for the legal defense of a violent crime (including murder!). Please report this asshole.

I’m old enough to remember the late 2000s, when redpill dudes were starting to mobilize online various feminists and queer activists and historians wrote fairly regularly about misogyny as the canary in the coal mine of fascism I can still hear the crickets

Because the woman below survived, the Federal government was obligated to charge her with the crime she was allegedly committing when shot, meaning they had to investigate it. That investigation showed she was innocent. Since Ms Good did not survive, they don't need to investigate what she did.

Disconcerting to hear the iHeart "guaranteed human" tagline followed *immediately* by an ad for AI products

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil. The year is 2026. I’m 40 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

Also we need more alt/small press/self-published comics from outside the UK submitted for review at @brokenfrontier.bsky.social PDFs are fine (and those of you who sent us stuff post-Thought Bubble may well be on the list for early 2026 coverage.) www.brokenfrontier.com/contact-us/

Sooner or later, it lands in the people’s hands. We need more sooner, less later.

This is absolutely fucking bananas the way that these people are *so close* to getting it but still manage to miss it by a fucking mile.

This studio awards-season email is really matching the current mood in a way I’m not sure they intended.

I have a favorite classroom to teach in because it's the one I have the clearest emergency plan for.

One last salmiakki ice cream bar at the airport ✨

Extremely charmed by this Finnish pharmacy logo.

Distressed to learn that despite Thanksgiving (obviously) not being observed in Finland, Black Friday very much is 🦅🇺🇸💸

Thank you, Finnish readers!!! Honored to be in the Top 5 best-selling books of last month at Finland's premier comic shop!

✨THIS WEEKEND✨ I will be hosting a live comics reading event at the Sarajakuvafestivaaliklubi, with performances by me and several other talented cartoonists. Saturday night of the Oulu Comics Festival, 8pm @ Snooker Time Bar. Free entry. See you there??

This youtube thumbnail has caused me psychic damage. THEY WOJAKED MOOMIN 💀 Wojak Moomin feels spiritually wrong.

Wonderful to wake up on the other side of the world to some actual good news from back home ✨

Quick reminder: NYC’s new First Lady, Rama Duwaji, is a cartoonist! www.comicsbeat.com/zohran-mamda...

I'm back on my bullshit~ The bullshit: trying to convince kidlit imprints that five years to illustrate a 200-page graphic novel is a fully reasonable and actually excellent time frame considering publishers neither offer artists health insurance nor pay enough for artists to live on.

Finnish pizza report: curious to hear Sicily's response on this

Hey Oulu!! Come out and say hi at my exhibition opening at the Oulu Comics Center, tonight at 6pm!

This brand name has sent me to an early grave 💀

Scene report: the Finnish children are also saying "skibidi ohio"

Honestly these numbers feel embarrassingly low, c'mon fam we can do better

NEW: Finnish language edition of The Plunge!! Huge thanks to Harri Filppa for translation, and to the Oulu Comics Center & Zum Teufel for publishing it. Official release this weekend at the Oulu Book Fair!

Shout out to the Finnish teens watching Powerpuff Girls on their phone at this bus stop

The existence of this hat has provided me a crucial data point in identifying overlaps between Finnish and American cultures

HOLY FUCK IT'S HAPPENING

A soundtrack of charming woodland songbirds being piped into the bathrooms at the Helsinki airport. So far this country is extremely and whimsically on brand 👍✔️

BECOME A CARTOONIST, THEY SAID. IT'LL BE FUN, THEY SAID.

Everything: [horrific] Me:

Just when you thought Sluggo couldn't possibly be more lit

Heartbreaking that the SPX vending machine no longer has animal crackers in it 💔
