Translators, illustrators, researchers and editors all do creative, human work that is important and cannot be reproduced in part or in whole by AI any more than writers. Their interests are our interests. To legitimize the use of AI to replace them is a failure of principle as much as strategy.

One thing even accomplished physicists don't understand about time is that Mondays don't start or end, they just go on, and on, and on, and on until your soul is swallowed whole by despair.

No matter how gloomy, boring or neutral Sundays were, I kept up with the sketches just like it was church through all this year, and I yearn to hold on to this tradition as long as I can. I'd ike to thank all the folks who dropped by with a nice comment. Wishing you a great end to this cycle!

Agree completely. When it comes to research, AI is at best a guide to received wisdom (conventional ideas) and the whole point of actual research is to produce new knowledge.

There's an element of it that I think demands it be read physically, so if you can, pick up a copy! It will be reprinted in the trade, but not with newsprint.

With a thousand apologies to the great @scottmccloud.bsky.social, Assorted Crisis Events 8 (out next month) is many things, but among them an ode to Understanding Comics, probably the most important comics text of all time, one I learn from each time I go back. It will be printed on newsprint!

They're useful when writing code, too.

"Star Trek meets le Carré" is the code phrase to activate my BUY NOW protocol

If you dig my STAR WARS run, @robwhart.bsky.social's great ASSASSINS ANONYMOUS books, or any of our work, give DARK SPACE a shot. It's a sci-fi/spy novel that came out from @blackstonepub.bsky.social with a killer high concept: Star Trek meets le Carré. www.blackstonepublishing.com/products/boo...

Look at these amazing portraits!!! Also if you need to get me a present, you know I love a Hepcat in a hat! Emily is so talented, get a gorgeous portrait for someone you love.

Picked up @elizmccrack.bsky.social new writing book. I've never felt more seen as a person with a billion demands on my time. This is why she makes the big bucks, folks. Go buy it. bookshop.org/p/books/a-lo...

I don’t know who needs to hear this but here goes: In high school my art teacher told me I didn’t know how to draw because cartooning wasn’t real art. I have wanted to be in The New Yorker Magazine since I was 19. I’m 53 and this happened yesterday:

Unsolicited advice for young (and old) litigators everywhere: don't insult your adversary. (1) It's unprofessional; (2) it lets the other side see you sweat; (3) you've just lost a potential referral source forever.

I would like the phrase and concept of "common decency" to make a comeback

"there's a new serif in town"

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Hi everyone! Sharing the most recent samples as I’m in need to join a new comic endeavour ASAP -either pages or covers - as I’m currently facing an utterly risky rental scenario. My portfolio and contact info are in comments to discuss further details and pricing. Thanks for sharing this post!
