Had no idea people were still holding so much hate for the Dilbert guy. Like, sure he was a horrible racist weirdo but the battle was already won when he got fired from his newspaper gigs.

got into some delightfully nerdy conversations last year about what i like to call "multiplane comics" based on their resemblance to multiplane camera/setback tabletop shot animation, which i go off on here:

I kept unfairly comparing this to Aidan Koch comics from the same time period but honestly more people should be trying to do Aidan Koch knockoffs imo.

This is a long shot but does anyone know any economics youtubers my mom can watch that aren’t generated by AI.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how the myth that republicans are “good at the economy” persists largely because it’s enshrined in all the middle school social studies textbooks.

One of the things that has me most worried is CNN pushing HARD this week for the US to start another war. They had John Bolton on two days ago calling to invade Cuba and today they had on a delusional Iranian woman asking Trump to "liberate" the people of Iran. Jake Tapper desperate for blood.

Thank you to whichever one of you guys put your copy of this on ebay today.

Not a single one of the people doing the “I’m no fan of Maduro but…” song and dance could have told you the name of Venezuela’s leader yesterday, and that includes professional political reporters.

I think the idea is Columbo gets a lot of leeway from his superiors because of his track record of high profile arrests, which is funny because it’s the exact opposite of how things work in real life. He’d arrest one rich guy and be off the force.

Was Gilbert Hernandez the first person to call superhero comics "slop," or was that a common insult at the time that's coming back around?

There are a lot of "best of 2025" lists out there but this is the ONLY one that includes the actual best comic of 2025, CHUCK BEANS (the bean-shaped robot that's come from the future to help get your life in order)

Here's my list of the best new and ongoing comics I read in 2025: "Chuck Beans" by Tsurun Hatomune "A Garden of Spheres: The New Man's Bride" by Linnea Sterte "Land of the Lustrous" Vol. 13 by Haruko Ichikawa

Back at it again with my 2026 comics reading thread! "Age of Reptiles: Ancient Egyptians" by Ricardo Delgado. In the backmatter Delgado describes this as a western, which brings the whole story into focus. Even the dinosaur courtship rituals are framed like Sergio Leone gunslinger duels.

That’s a wrap on my 2025 comics reading thread. Lots of good comics here, and some real stinkers, let’s do it again some time.

It would be easy to reduce Xaime to being the subtle character writing guy and Beto to being the sexploitation guy so its always fun whenever they do an issue where those roles are reversed.

When Ōima started a series about how its sad when people die, I don't think anyone could have guessed that 20+ books later it would be a series about how WEIRD it gets when no one can really die.

First trailer for "Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia" anime series by Science Saru studio. Directed by Naoko Yamada & Abel Gongora. Character designer & Animation director : Kenichi Yoshida. Based on the manga by Tomato Soup. Coming in July 2026. Full video >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqB3...

I'm watching Columbo for the first time. I've seen this screenshot used as a reaction image and nothing could have prepared me for how funny this bit is in the show.

a few new aGoS pages are up on patreon. gonna post 1 or 2 every Sunday, in the name of holding myself accountable

My take on Avatar is it’s not even the best mid-2000s environmentalist family movie directed by a beloved 80s action movie director and animated using janky motion capture.

This was my biggest tweet over in the bad place. It will live here now. 🧙‍♀️🎄

Here are some incredible Fumiko Takano pages from 棒がいっぽん ('One Stick' according to GT [it's the lower one]) which collects stories from 1987 to 1994.

finally finished this Vangers triptych – one of the biggest and most interesting commissions I've ever worked on! big thanks to @tegiminis.bsky.social for commissioning this one, it was a great pleasure ✨

insanely good thing to say when you enter a room

Crazy way to announce that he died.

Lol at this response to the Deodato AI art from a popular artist who uses 3d models for everything. As if the problem was he didn’t hide it well enough 🙄

I see in the Image solicitations that “Department of Truth” is doing another fill-in arc because the regular artist is doing another one of those IP grab comics so the Comcast Corporation can assert ownership of public domain characters.

This was great, the blue haired contestant who got the answer was so pleased to say the word Weeb on television.

I actually genuinely enjoy reading comic bloggers best-of-the-year lists because it’s like entering an alternate universe where bad is good. People out there really think The Big Batman is better than every manga.

"Guts of the Crab God" by Randall Rossi. When the giant crab god takes on a human form so he can have gay sex with a merman, that's what historians call "the reverse Zeus."

"Hang Fire" by Bryan Arfiandy. This is possibly the most inscrutable and self indulgent comic of the year (complimentary).

Had to scratch the #bionicle itch. Here’s Gali, don’t think I’ve ever done her before.

I don’t think we as a society have thanked @papapishu.bsky.social for obtaining, ripping, and uploading a master copy of the essential Ricky Jay And His 52 Assistants, Jay’s 1997 HBO special and the best distillation of his one of a kind talent archive.org/details/rick...

I got my copy of Garden of Spheres in the mail and I didn’t realize it was going to be a phone book lol. I think the only comics I have that are fatter are my Planetes omnis.

I’ve seen a couple of comics artists compare this to the sales of their own books, which is a fair comparison because the target audience for both things is limited to people who post on Bluesky dot com

Lale Westvind did a story about how it would be nice to have an immortal hologram of her grandmother instead of saying goodbye, and I’d be interested to hear if/how her feelings on that story have changed now that tech freaks are trying to build that technology for real and everyone hates it.

"My Name is Shingo" Volume 2 by Kazuo Umezz. Umezz's critique of technology is prescient in such a specific way. The computer is coming for your job AND it's going to talk your children into killing themselves.

Sakamoto Days fans had to endure many months of Sakamoto being inexplicably young, skinny, and clean shaven, but he's back in top form for the finale 🙏
