One day of propagandist televised news probably deals more damage to voters & democracy than people not wanting to get voluntarily shitkicked online by endless bigots & bigotbots could ever do.

Five years ago today we lost our great friend and long-time colleague Jesse Hamm. We’ll post some quotes from Jesse and links to his art and writing in this thread.

the users of Bluesky have largely turned to poisoning the well against Ai and I think we should say; good work team! A lot of unqualified execs have lost the narrative and can't get it back, keep shitposting, shitpost harder

me, buying a book written by someone who I've never met but we sometimes like each other's posts on Bluesky: my friend wrote this

Sorry living storytellers, time to throw in the towel. We can't compete with this

for a few years I kept Long Dark Tea-Time Of The Soul on the shelf untouched because it was the only Adams I hadn't read and I wanted to have one to look forward to. Then I thought "I might get hit by a truck though" so I finally read it.

I just caught that the lady with the most unpopular commencement speech in modern history actually says "what's happening???" to somebody off stage

We appreciate everyone who showed up to our inaugural show!! Save the date! Comic Con Oakland will return in 2027!

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

My page for doodling and sketching to stay warmed up during the show. Comic Con Oakland has been a success!

05/10, 2:00PM-3:00PM The Mechanics of Comics ROOM A | Jeff Parker | Steve Lieber Bay area, come out and ask your most niche questions about storytelling, we'll do our best!

Always love an amused con-goer who tells cosplayers who they’re cosplaying “haha, you’re Blade, haha”

It's Billy Joel's birthday today, so we are obligated to post this ridiculous piece from our archives: "Did anybody else feel like the entire song was about how the only thing that makes our pathetic lives worth living is listening to him play the piano?"

I had a wonderful, terrible, magnificent idea, and @mattbors.bsky.social was up for it. We launch That One Matt Bors Comic on Kickstarter on May 12. Sign up at Kickstarter for an alert! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gle... (Media, see thatonemattborscomic.com/press.html)

I don’t often weep manly tears, but when I hear “early check-in available” it cannot be helped

Had to listen to the driver’s AM radio this morning, don’t worry about the strait or the economy, apparently everything is going great

WHO am I going to see this weekend in the East Bay?

To all my Bay Area friends! If you're looking for something to do this weekend, may I humbly suggest you check out our new show @comicconoakland.com happening on May 9-10? We're running the first comic show at the Oakland Convention Center in over 10 years(!) featuring many incredible creators!

this is going to turn into a phenomenon where the Rat Ship appears when a fog rolls in, ever haunting the shores of port towns

If this was happening in any other country pundits would see it for what it was.

Incredibly high-quality journalism that I am HAPPY to pay for. This is the closest look yet at how the global digital scam industry is evolving. Our culture is not ready for this.

RIP Ted, I watched a lot of influential oddball movies on The Superstation

Judy and Nick have a new case to crack. 🐰🚔🦊 The highly acclaimed 6-part ZOOTOPIA comic series by @jeffparker.bsky.social and Alessandro Ranaldi is now available as a collected edition. Available in soft- and hardcover.

If those cross-burnin' wockaflockas erase Memphis, Atlanta, Birmingham, New Orleans and Miami, they might wanna reserve some spots in that bunker under the ballroom.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it may be time to flush your water heater. Easiest thing you can do to keep it healthy. (We have to do it every 6 months because we live in a hard water area.)

this language makes Spirit sound like a mischievous little carrier

Friends, retailers, clerks... Rest well this Free Comic Day Eve. For tomorrow, we do battle! FOR SALES! FOR FANS! FOR COMIC BOOKS!!!

I've put eyes on these pages, they are fantastic!

I bet Magnus Robot Fighter started out small, just kicking Roombas across the floor

Finding this just now reminds me I've taken a lot of pics of Weird Finds that I haven't posted and should get to

Some airport centaurs.

Just think of our better modern day if Christopher Walken hadn't been stopped from destroying Silicon Valley in VIEW TO A KILL (1985)

I freakin backed My Gifts Are Hungry on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/hig...

the internet is back baby

again, he was just letting off steam, he's learned his lesson

Releasing a new comic today for Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum in Savannah, GA. What started as a research project about a colonial sailing vessel spiraled into a eulogy for a dead model ship builder. Stories often carry us where we need, but are afraid, to go. lucybellwood.com/new-comic-th...

I've learned that when an idea pops in my head, it's sometimes more efficient to just draw it than to let it keep needling at me.

How is this being treated as normal? A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel n ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.

What's your "He actually broke his toe here" thing? The factoid you can't help but share whenever it comes up. For me, it's how the punk on the bus in Star Trek IV actually wrote and recorded the song that he's playing because he was annoyed the original song they had didn't sound punk at all.

Now we understand that The Joker is always Looksmaxxing with a focus on Batsmashing to shape his face. He's addicted to it really, it's gross

Yep. Powell regularly wrecking the Fox News questioners at Fed meetings is also a feature
