Now I'll be honest, I thought Downton Abbey ended ten years ago

Like for one 150 page book, you have to write those 150 pages, then thumbnail 150 pages, then pencil 150 pages, then ink 150 pages, then color 150 pages, then letter 150 pages, so not counting edits and redos you're doing 900 pages of work ISN'T THAT CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.

Ngl as corny as it sounds making a comic feels powerful in that sort of, bitch that’s ME, type of shit. Even if it’s not fully how I want it to be — I’m still orchestrating it. I’m creating it with my own paws 🐾 . Plz clap!

Interesting times at #Archipelacon2 !

Grabbing Clip Studio is just a good thing to have, and this price is berserk. It's also 60% off the fancier version which has a bunch of comic stuff in.

The International early bird shipping is fixed now!! Get that discounted shipping in the first hour!!

but if i'm not allowed to feed artists into my artist killing machine it's going to be basically impossible for the machine to keep killing artists. is that what you want?? and before you answer keep in mind this is a very expensive machine

bro it’s okay that you need ai to help you write an email. anubis has weighed your soul against the feather of fate and found you unworthy. prepare to be devoured

My old 16-page comic where Frasier meets Columbo can be read on my website: joechouinard.com/columbo

I don't want an AI that renders images that vaguely resemble Ghibli films. I want an AI - or just a regular I - that informs everyone the man's name was Yoshifumi Kondo, he's the guy who designed the characters you think of when you think of "Ghibli", and he died in 1998 at age 47 from overwork

Holy shit I had no idea all these were the work of one talented person. What a collection! indieground.net/blog/drew-st...

Okay, this is my newest very very favorite meme.

The terrible academic hamster wheel of taking so long to get something written for publishing that in the meantime approx. 174 849 595 new and relevant works have come out and you need to reference them in your text that then takes even longer to finish

My de-creation of Judith Beheading Holofernes by Caravaggio in Kid Pix Studio using a mouse

How are able-bodied people in the year 2025 still sneezing into their palms. I genuinely do not understand.

My immovable object need to always have a tiny snack available to eat with a cup of coffee meets my bf's unstoppable force habit to devour absolutely everything as soon as a package is opened

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

I wrote about how, at a moment where so much insane shit is happening and so many people are trying to deny it, writing it down is a radical act: dansinker.com/posts/202…

Merry Christmas. I hope today you get to see the felt frog and Michael Caine

I also really recommend this poem, which, in true Cohen fashion, contains wisdom that my wife and I quote to each other all the time, and also some uncomfortably horny stuff, because Cohen was very horny acephalous.typepad.com/acephalous/l...

I'm very lucky to have a partner who is wielding the drill so I can get my bookcase on the wall, however, prolonged exposure to loud sounds make me feel like a greyhound with anxiety issues

Hello darkness my old friend (The Chicago Manual of Style, The University of Chicago Press, seventeenth edition, 2017)

Achilles: Please, Mother, let the leopards eat the faces of all the Greeks! [Patroclus, Achilles' BFF, gets his face eaten] Achilles, full of grief and fury: Mother! I never thought the leopards would eat HIS face.

I've now drawn two multiple page comics depciting our groups d&d adventures (with focus on my character because, well, duh) and I'm going in a much more manga-esque direction with it and I'm thinking about making it purposeful

Really I wish I was home drawing more d&d comics instead of staring at my wip thesis

*Writes a review of an academic publication for an academic journal in three hours* wow I'm unstoppable& invincible, a master of words *opens thesis document to keep the writing energy going* wow I wish I was dead

Haven't been on here much but I've been drawing a d&d comic and my guy has never looked prettier than when he's dismembered and dying 😍 #d&d #art

Getting ready for a d&d oneshot this weekend means drawing a character portrait! Meet half-elf Terra, cleric (grave domain)
