Turner was the only normal billionaire, in that he did what any one of us would've done with that kind of money: baseball, wrestling, and cartoons

Trying to relearn how to play the flute, so I looked up charts for key positions, and they are called fingering charts. 🤔

Botox used to be a big deal, now nobody raises an eyebrow.

This kind of mixed use urban planning is illegal in America

We’ve been told our content needs to be more informative so here you go

polly pocket is short for polyamorous pocket

as a follow up: i had a lawyer talk with another lawyer and are getting these ads using my art taken down and damages paid. it ain’t a lot but i hope it’s enough to make a point. update the wiki!!!!!!

We all owe Ted Turner an apology for mocking Captain Planet as heavy-handed with one-dimensional unrealistic villains after not once or twice, but three times now techbros have run schemes that boil down to "We create a bunch of pollution and poison clean water and then we make a bunch of money."

Even if you have a hit monthly book the money just isn't there. There are ways to diversify your income (royalties, commissions, conventions) but it's very difficult to be a success in this industry, let alone a success that can make a living off of comics. www.thebookseller.com/news/comics-...

I wrote about Naoki Urasawa's and Takashi Nagasaki's BILLY BAT for the Comics Courier!

RIP Ted Turner. Thanks for making cartoon network.

I worked on the Captain Planet cartoon early in my career and I remember it stemmed from Turner wanting to do something environmentally conscious for kids. I also remember him visiting the studio and hitting on the receptionist. He contained multitudes.

Well well well looks like those art degrees aren't so useless after all

incredible how capital has rebuilt the creative prison of the old comics code out of sheer cowardice lol

weirded out that people aren't reading the article but also weirded out that people aren't seeing the resemblance, haha. idk, is it because i'm an artist who spends a lot of time analyzing facial features and anatomy and structure?? it seems overt, to me

While I'm nerding about birds, everyone should get to know the Black-and-Chestnut Eagle, an endangered raptor from South American mountain forests. One of the Most Birds Ever.

If you ever feel like your art doesn’t matter, listen to this. I’ve had fans of my dinky DIY comics meet me, and start crying. Like, three separate times. You have no idea who your art is gonna touch. Even if you’re just drawing queer stoner slice of life comics.

Yes that would have been very different, wouldn't it. Very, very different indeed.

Hi, spider expert here! Kyle Rittenhouse was bitten by a Brown Recluse (loxosceles reclusa). Unlike widow bites, recluse bites don't affect the nervous system. Instead, they are a cytotoxic venom, destroying local tissues at the site of the bite.. So how bad could this get? Well...

Can't pass up an opportunity to post Kate Beaton:

I will maintain until my dying breath that the slow destruction of Comixology by being bought out and then hollowed out by neglect set back the adoption of the digital comic format by at least a generation.

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

This is why I cringe when people talk about “how well” the industry is doing. For a select few, this is a very lucrative business. With no functioning working class in the arts, we do not have a healthy industry. This echoes my sentiment that most people who are full time have safety nets.

Ted Turner was briefly so destructive to film preservation that the GOVERNMENT created the National Film Registry to keep some films safe, then Turner was like “fine! You like preservation so much, here’s a channel that just shows movies unaltered for 24 hours!!!” and it was the best channel ever.

as ever, a hearty fuck you to jeff bezos and amazon for killing comixology

My art's about to get flagged as AI because of my terrible perspective. 😔

I think a lot about that person on NeoGAF who said Fury Road was a worse movie than marvel movies because in marvel movies, characters would explain their feelings so you knew what they were doing, and in Fury Road, people just did things

GKIDS is proud to announce the acquisition of North American rights to TEKKONKINKREET. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the cult classic returns to theatres May 31 & June 1 in an all-new 4K remaster. Tickets on sale now. brnw.ch/21x1U3C

"Trans youth who wanted hormones but couldn’t access them were nearly twice as likely to attempt suicide than those who could." If Wes Streeting and Louis Appleby had a conscience they would apologize and withdraw from public life. But, of course, they don't.

Apart from Vince McMahon, Ted Turner is the most influential figure of the last 50 years of wrestling. He was Vince's opposite, chaotic good to his chaotic evil: Southern, liberal, Incredibly successful at a million ventures outside of wrestling. No wonder Vince hated him.

Well now I'm excited for Boston Odysseus.

what could the story of a veteran returning home from a prolonged, needless war — one born of self-destructive hubris and lorded over by petty gods and pettier kings — ever have to say about America

I think fake money systems like this should be explicitly illegal. They are implemented for this exact reason. It’s to pressure you to spend it all, but in order to spend it all you need to buy more, what’s the leftover will also eventually expire, so you will buy more to spend it. Cycle forever.

Trying to find the guy who ate all my food.

The x-men are here There are so many x-men. For instance, cyclops who can shoot energy out of his big eye. and angel who can fly. and Doug who can speak German. And Nightcrawler who can also speak German

It's time once again for an evergreen tweet: young cartoonists, especially fresh-out-of-school folks, if you get an odd cold-email from a literary agent who says they want to represent you, *please* quietly check in with your peers/former teachers/etc to make sure it's someone legit. It may not be.

epic win! now you can travel the world with your ANTI-WOKE passport. wait what? oil and jet fuel prices are HOW HIGH?????

Every journalist on earth is just a foot soldier in a weird psychosexual argument between six rich people at an orgy.

Happy cartoonist day! Treat them nice

I want to add that class in the U.S. is only legible among white people. Black people have been the MOST working class segment of U.S. society for decades AND YET... Black people are consistently written out of the narrative of "working class" USians.

Class in the US is entirely a matter of aesthetics now. Rich suburban kids are “country”. Beard Dudes who look like they love IPAs are “working class.” Teachers who make $32,000 a year but have to dress up sort of nice in JCPenney clothes are “elites“. None of these words mean anything anymore.

Absolute Jim Gordon.

— Fashion is a feminine coded interest and thus considered frivolous, whereas masculine-coded interests, such as architecture, are considered "serious." Doesn't matter if a tremendous amount of skilled labor or creativity went into making something, such as the handmade lace or shoulder line below.

All of those events involve spectacles, celebrities, and obscene amounts of money. Notably, the Met Gala is the only one that's a charity for a public institution. What upsets people isn't the actual money or celebrities, but the notion of fashion. The more unusual the outfits, the more outrage.

But such outfits offend people — really offend people — because people don't think of clothes as anything more than consumables. It's notable to me that the Met Gala gets compared to the Hunger Games, whereas such criticism is rarely levied at the Oscar's red carpet or the Super Bowl halftime show.

I should first clarify some basic facts: — The Met Gala is a fundraising event that supports the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute. — The Costume Institute preserves historical garments, curates public exhibitions, and educates people on how clothing reflects and shapes culture.
