Anyone in Pōneke recognise this artist? We found 4 pieces of art we'd like to return to the owner.

"Sans serif is woke" has definitely been my favourite story of the year. And it keeps getting better.

RIP the 2026 Angoulême Comics Festival. @comicsjournal.bsky.social has a good backgrounder on how mismanagement, ego, and misogyny derailed Europe's greatest comics festival: www.tcj.com/the-285-mani...

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

This is an object lesson in storytelling.

This is a thousand years worth of Creative NZ government funding

This is the way

One of the many evils the tech industry has inflicted on our lives is that when an Act of God forces everyone to stay home from work (wild weather, earthquake, pandemic), we're now expected to Work From Home (rather than have a day off like God intended).

Personally, the main thing I think artists, musicians, writers, etc need sorted is the same thing most other people need sorted: cost of living.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Meanwhile, in another, better, world...

It breaks my heart that this is both the correct thing to do & a sign of how awful things are right now. @marinaomi.bsky.social built something beautiful that helped make the comics industry (& community) better. Now they're taking it down to keep artists safe. ❤️❤️❤️

Was that a spellckeck error?

Chloe's body language says it all.

Does anyone know this old (New Yorker?) cartoon I've been searching for? How I remember it: two people walking out of a cinema that's showing 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar Ate New York.' One person says (something like): "I can't help feeling they missed the point of the book."

one morning, when gregor samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a very hungry caterpillar

I'm blushing over here. Thank you, sir 😊

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

We need to tax wealth not work. Why? Because usually no matter how hard you work, the compound interest on huge wealth grows much faster than your wages + the rich use this passive income to buy all the assets. Someone made a game to show this: therichdont.work

Really this thread is an excuse for me to, once again, share the love for Kia Mataara - a 13 part comic series about colonisation and it's ongoing impacts. Here's the link to the intro: natlib-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/...

Trying to remember two (sorta trippy) documentary films I saw in the 2000s(?) by a NZ filmmaker based in Japan. They both dealt with the emergence of a kind of animist digital culture: the internet as a spirit world & other weird fascinating ideas. Anyone know these films (or who made them)?

@fantagraphics.bsky.social is having a sale to raise money for their legal battle with JP Morgan Chase and old Diamond. Chase has legions of lawyers,so please think about visiting Fantagraphics.com and buying some of the best comics ever made!

Watching Bay of Fires on TVNZ+, a quirky mystery set in Tasmania, and one of the characters is reading Hicksville @dylanhorrocks.bsky.social !

Any current or potential students want to do some research on children's books in Aotearoa?

It feels like day by day, step by step, the US GOP are incrementally normalising the idea of criminalising all opposition (and using the police & military to enforce that). Each time they get away with one of these actions or statements, the worst becomes a little more credible, more inevitable...

This is such great news - I have missed this every single week for 6 years!

The Dream of an Opium Fiend (1908) By Georges Méliès

Public Service Announcement. Be safe, people.

Can’t wait to tell my students about this

Okay, I've deleted my earlier post. Apparently, this is *not* a pipe. But the fact that I thought it was says a lot about society.
