reminder that tomorrow is the day again

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

i do find the imagery of pouring endless, unnecessary money into a corroded mirror of rancid water a little heavy handed

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

From Reddit:

Okay, yeah, I’m gonna do this. Zine of trans and/or BIPOC creators’ takes on X-Men. Proper call for participants sometime in the next few weeks, but if you’re interested, few free to HMU sooner.

I can’t believe DC found a way to announce a book written by the guy behind Dark Crisis and the current Superboy-Prime nonsense… whose overall work and approach I REALLY don’t care for… and stack the deck so much elsewhere in the announcement that I’m kinda interested. 😭

Seems to me this is a problem we can fix

Fantastic Four 15 variant. Had a lot of fun with this one. Very simple to draw but it took me a long time to figure out the effect I wanted.

Herriman’s Krazy Kat is the GOAT comic. I poured over Krazy Kat strips as a kid with open wonder. The backgrounds that changed every panel, the toxic and carefree violent relationship, the weird argot of the writing, the poetic philosophy of the heart wanting what the heart wants.

Bob Harras visibly losing patience with Scott Lobdell in the marginalia is like catching two medieval monks fighting in the illuminations of a manuscript

not naming names but the person in this apartment who pays for the TCM subscription just asked me “has spielberg made an alien movie before?”

shout out to women

So cool that I can open Bluesky, catch up on politics discourse, then catch up on comic book discourse, & in both cases, to various degrees, be reminded how annoying and stupid the average poster is.

草薙素子 / GHOST IN THE SHELL

SKATE ALI #1 hits shelves TODAY! 🤘🛹🤘 Art by me, written by Sam Humphries, lettered by Joshua Reed, from an original concept by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Sam Humphries. And if you want to crank it up, the soundtrack while I was drawing it was mostly Guano Apes, Ecca Vandal or Turnstile. 🔥

Interesting variant cover used for this review/post. Sure would be a shame if the cover’s artist had a reputation of being a creep to women, especially trans women.

The wedding of Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel. A true story: Dave Cockrum was so proud of this spread he asked for the original artwork back. Carmine Infantino said NO and Dave quit DC in protest. Afterwards Dave used the designs he had planned for the Legion to create the New X-Men with Len Wein.

the end is coming… check out the cover for DID YOU HEAR ABOUT MIMI GREEN? #4 - the final issue! It all comes to an end as Mimi is forced to confront the impossible to save the people she loves. my favorite cover of the series!! please preorder :)

Obviously.

i get this question a lot! so here's my honest answer--it's not enough of a difference to bother worrying about haha. there are much more effective ways to help an author out

I saw Marjane Satrapi speak about her work at Smith College 19 years ago, and she said something I have thought about and taught ever since when I teach comics. “I draw what I can’t write and I write what I can’t draw.“

LET WOMEN HAVE HOBBIES

Marjane Satrapi was one of the most important cartoonists for generations. So many people grew up with her books, grew up on her books, grew up through her books. Unfathomable that she would leave so early but she leaves behind a rich legacy. Rest in peace.

fuck, RIP Marjane Satrapi. Only 56 years old. Persepolis is as close to essential reading as a graphic novel can be.

More Roy! And that Natalia Hernandez page is so cute.

Today is the birthday of Lora Sprang (May 28, 1911-June 19, 1999) wife of artist Dick Sprang, who worked as a letterer & colorist under the pen name Pat Gordon for her husband & others in the 40s & 50s. She was also a freelance photographer. #Batman

Today is the birthday of living legend Stan Sakai, born on May 25, 1953. Creator of the series Usagi Yojimbo.

kid me, reading an X-Men comic: “a fun adventure for sure but obviously the real world of politics is much more nuanced and complex” adult me: “lol, nevermind”

Just saw a tv ad for a charity. A young girl says "this is the face of child hunger. I am an A.I. composite of the faces of the 1 in 7 children who go hungry." Removing my anti-A.I. bias, I genuinely don't get it? Why did they think that would be more effective than showing me a real hungry child?

Sometimes I like to remind myself that putting a blend of words and images onto a well designed page is one of the coolest things a person can do.

Excited to read this, and also to try and push it on others. Would *love* to see it be one of those random #1 issues that blows up. These creatives would deserve it.
