The reason gullible people believe all protesters are paid is because they can't conceive of anyone giving a shit about anyone other than themselves.

like watching the Brazil 70 team scoring that last goal in the final:

Stephanie Sinclair and Sara Sinclair's "You Were Made for This World" tops this weeks Top 10 Canadian Books for Young Readers chart, and Sophie Escabasse's latest in her Witches of Brooklyn series is at 9.

What a woman! I'll always remember this heartwarming goodbye hug when she brought the chimp back to his home in the jungle. May you rest in peace, Jane Goodall 💔 #RIPjaneGoodall

Tonight, let's all follow Jane Goodall's nightly ritual: watch the sun set, with a glass of good scotch and a passion to leave the world a better place than how we found it. (Illustration by the great Matthew Dow Smith @matthewdowsmith.bsky.social )

if you’re at Word on Street today, check out the these fab (& exclusive to the festival) mini comics by Howie Shia, Kiki Hamazaki, Sandra Dumais @sandradumais.bsky.social and Rosena Fung @rosenafung.bsky.social at the Annick Press booth. Brilliant idea by Annick’s comics editor Serah-Marie McMahon.

just waiting for @avclub.com to post their Terrance Stamp obit so we can all go to the comments section and kneel before...

“League of Extraordinary Assholes” catapults this very very good review into the stratosphere of greatness.

Thanks fucked up United States medical system! GUESS WHO IS OPEN FOR WORK! (Including comic writing / drawing)

Creators, if you use WeTransfer to share files, stop it now and find an alternative!

We're happy to have the writer, artist, and television producer Jay Odjick hosting the Doug Wright Awards for the first time this year! Come see him at this year's ceremony on June 7th at the Arts & Letters Club in Toronto.

New work: single sheet design, folded twice, with a trimmed-off corner to produce a square "viewing" frame inside the opened brochure for artist Bogdan Luca at the theartistproject.com/home/ , with a stand-up business card from the off-cut. He's at booth 822 - right beside the big inflatable letters

If TCAF has meant something special to you, we ask that you support us with a gift this year. If everyone who attends TCAF this year donates just $5, we’ll be in a great place! Plus, every donor who gives over $5 will be recognized on our website in gratitude. www.torontocomics.com/support-tcaf

Finally watched Raiders of the Lost Ark in black & white, as recommended by Steven Soderburgh. It really makes it look like a movie from well, 1936 and showcases Douglas Slocombe's glorious command of tone and composition. It's the only way to watch it - i mean, look at this:

And Good Morning. Realising today that the Society of Authors (that I'm a member of) might be able to help with comic artists' right to be considered an Author. Which will help clarify where we need to be in the metadata, on systems, databases etc. It's a fundamental artist's right.

This Thu the 27th, we're having an election in Canada for Ontario's premier, as called by incumbent Doug Ford. Ford has left the province with a whopping $6.6-billion deficit, slashed funding to social programs galore all the while selling huge swaths of our greenbelt to private corporations.

The 2nd time I drew Superman, 2016. This is a fundraiser poster I made for the Siegel & Shuster Society here in Cleveland. Young Jerry Siegel in front of his boyhood home on the East Side, dreaming of Supes. This is in the permanent Supes display at the Cleveland Main Library. That's darn cool.

Happy Centenary, New Yorker. Bruce McCall's tribute in the 75th anniversary issue is just the best ("Midtown Feb 13. 1925, 11pm")

While idly scrolling, I chanced upon this still from Tobe Hooper's Salem's Lot, and for a brief second I thought "What, there was an American remake of Minder?!?"

Polish those resumes!

this is brilliantly insightful:

OPEN COMMISSIONS This is sort of embarrassing to do on a network where I have one hundred followers, but I've gotten some questions about it over here. Re—uh—skeets?? appreciated...

I had so much fun with this graphic, i only want to do type at isometric angles from now on. (Also, Joe Bluhm may already have the cover of the year for The Great Dinosaur Sleepover - zoom in for some adorable details: he's clutching his pillow and a stuffie!; his wee party hat!)

If you've never donated to Wikipedia, now's the time. Elon Musk is attacking it because it's one of the only sources of honest, curated information that he can't control. www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-ta...

Having some fun with isometric grids for the graphic identity of the @quillandquire.bsky.social spring preview, happening in January.

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those that celebrate.

it amazes me that this has to be said, but it really does. Great job, Debbie and Sarah:

If you're not in the UK our election might seem remote. But if you are a British or Northern Irish citizen and have ever lived in the UK, you are eligible to register and vote. There's now no time limit, even if you left as a kid. Details here: www.electoralcommission.org.uk/voting-and-e...

Obligatory TCAF loot shot. I think I bought more than usual, testament to the amazing range and depth of talent. The giant stamps were a highlight, along with Maurice Vellekoop reading from his autobiography, and his Doug Wright Awards acceptance speech.

(for Canadians)

mostly works for designers too

Gentle reminder to authors & publishers of illustrated books launching this week: Remember to credit/tag the ILLUSTRATOR, esp if you're using their art in promotional materials. See www.picturesmeanbusiness.com Illus: @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social #PicturesMeanBusiness #KidLit

David Squires is one of the best cartoonists in the business, and this is one of his best. You don't need to understand football to understand this remarkable, poignant comic - and it's almost wordless. Incredibly powerful.

If Only Murders in the Building had been made in the 70's

Today is Russ Heath’s birthday. He had created this piece, years ago. If there’s a Hell, I hope Lichtenstein is burning in it.
