This is great advice. Sometimes I feel like comics are moreso a composition game than a drawing game, especially since the reader's eye is spending, at max, 10 seconds on each panel. Even if you're not yet comfortable drawing full bodies all the time, push yourself to do so!

I deleted TikTok back when the Oracle purchase was announced but if you've still got it, you GOTTA dump it. Especially for trans folks. It straight up says in the new TOS that they--Oracle, the company that has active ties to the Trump admin--are monitoring and documenting trans and NB users.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

This book banning bill would set the precedent that the Miller Test is irrelevant, which will legally imperil creators nationwide, especially queer creators. It died last year and it's shambling corpse has been trotted out to horrify us anew this year. If you're in FL pls call your state reps.
