Throwback Thursday: Some bits of Comic Book Dad advice that I think are still pretty pertinent --

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally. Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

Yep, finally doing it. Please help, any size donation you can!! And if you can't help, please share! Any share increases my chances tenfold!!! Thank you 💖 #transcrowdfund #crowdfund #emergency #GoFundMe #immigration #transrights gofund.me/d33ceb1f3

Anyone need an editor? I’m looking for new paid work and there’s nothing too big or too small I can’t handle. Feel free to reach out to maximize your project’s potential!

The thing with designating a group that doesn't actually exist as a terrorist organization is that they can then say anyone they want is a part of that group.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

I've been posting about coaching for writers on and off for a while, and I want to take a minute to talk a bit more about what exactly that is and why I do it. 🧵

no joke this is why i throw letters in before i start drawing haha. they don't have to be perfect but it's a real good reminder to leave that space. i'd do it even if i wasn't responsible for the final lettering tbh (this doesn't save me from when i edit my dialogue after i've drawn the thing oc)

Happy Letterer Appreciation Day! Each year on September 1st—Gaspar Saladino’s birthday—we celebrate the invaluable contributions that letterers make to the comic book industry!

We need to start speaking up- no- YELLING to support and defend trans people. If you're in the USA, call your legislators. Literally email and call your representatives. Cis people have the loudest voices right now and those voices MUST be used to protect trans people.

Perhaps you are unmoved by Gov Gav’s shittiness toward trans people? Well, fear not! There are so many other ways he’s terrible!

I cant tell you the amount of times I was stuck on a story for WEEKS and Michele basically fixed it within a 20 min call. If you need an editor Michele is the one!!

Another morning to say that I will not vote for Gavin Newsom when he inevitably runs for president. If you want my vote, you should make sure to nominate someone who isn't a transphobe.

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated. If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience. thank you

Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties

I’m done making the argument against Newsom. We have made MANY arguments over and over and over. Anti-trans, attacks on the homeless, anti-union, buddies with alt-right Nazis. At this point anyone asking why we don’t like him is a troll, an op, or willfully ignorant. End of conversation.

I'm back to say I'm still looking for a job. If you or someone you know in the LA area is hiring, I'm available for in-house or remote work! I'm open to non-animation or production roles as well. Please keep me in mind!

it doesn't get mentioned all that much in books on drawing or comics, but i don't know any technique that's more useful than walking away for an hour

The moviating reason behind this call for work is that I'm leaving the One Shot Podcast Network at the end of September. I've done a lot of good work there but it's time for new ideas. So, if you know anyone who needs what I can do, please let me know! ❤️

My buddy @ctrigo.bsky.social is an amazing artist. Working with him on SPCTR was a highlight of my career so far, and he available for commissions! Check him out and hire him for your next project! He’s an absolute pro! www.webtoons.com/en/action/sp...

what donald trump wants more than anything is video of american soldiers gunning down american citizens

Necessary tools from the bad old days (or: the smallest taste of why marriage equality matters.)

Found out I'm not moving forward with a job that was looking promising. Folks, I am very open for making comics right now! If you've ever wanted to work together--to build a pitch for pubs or launch a Kickstarter--let me know.

"“I ain’t ever bought no prostitutes. I ain’t never raped nobody. I ain’t never paid anybody off. None of that stuff,” said G, a resident from one of the photographed tents. “He’s much more of a criminal than I am”" streetsensemedia.org/article/home...

To give you an idea: when accidents happened in an intersection — even a bike accident — dozens of people would run out to assist. Even when newcomers move in, folks make a point to get to know them. DC can be very transient, but this was easily to most communal place I’ve experienced there.

Harukaze Mound has dang brilliant execution of action sequences. Read it!

the degradation / dismantling of Eater is such a damn shame. in a world of influencer- and bot-skewed restaurant ratings, googling "eater [city]" provided guidance from passionate locals with good taste; it was a cheat code for eating well wherever you traveled

Newsom will not be able to win national office, no matter how many marginalized groups he throws under the bus. Cross him off the list now so it doesn’t come down to him as the presidential nominee. We can and should do better!

SDCC ‘25: What to do if ICE crashes the con If you see ICE or Border Patrol agents while attending San Diego Comic-Con, know your rights and exercise them.

Phil is one of the few genuine creators, and a dear friend. Please help him out, and if you don't already, read his award winning webcomic, Girl Genius!

A friendly reminder: If you know (or have) kids that are really into Superman right now, Jimmy Olsen’s SuperCyclopedia by @bitchinville.bsky.social and me is a swell Superman-adjacent intro to most things DC

Are you a writer? Is your script or story being a jerk and won't behave itself? Let me help you! I'm looking for some editing work. Email me at Edward(a)edwardkane dot net (or you can DM me). Let's chat!

Hi, friends! We’re really really struggling right now.. any little support helps and shares go a super long way! It’s tough out there. Hoping things will start to get better for us all 🥹 ashviirnart.etsy.com www.inprnt.com/gallery/ashv...

“.. They are nurses, mechanics, sanitation workers and executives. .. They’ve opened restaurants .. paid taxes and contributed to Social Security, living and working legally in the United States since 1999.” They have 60 days to leave. @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

Anti-LGBTQ orgs have explicitly stated they USE sports as a "gateway drug" to undermine trans people's rights. They've also said this is how they eventually roll back all progress on LGBTQ rights. Newsom falls for it hook, line, and sinker.

I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.

Happy #DumbingOfAge Day to all who celebrate

Decades of mechanistic talk about university degrees as if they were bundles of 'skills' and 'prep' are about to be proved completely wrong (obviously). Want to get a real boost? Do History or English.

Surprised that this remarkable investigation into how Netanyahu prolonged the war in Gaza — killing tens of 1000s of civilians — for his own benefit has not gotten more attention. So: gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/m...

They are doing Defund The Police in reverse: Gutting the social safety net and giving unlimited power to a vast, violent gestapo to deal with the consequences.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

New, from me: They are trying to shove through the massive reconciliation bill as quickly as possible. Stepping back, the bill is: *an assault on the poor to benefit the richest *an assault on freedom *an assault on the future donmoynihan.substack.com/p/how-the-re...
