sonic x bts, ink & screentone, 2020 🦔🕺🏼

comics, man

This book! It’s funny, it’s weird, it’s energetic cartooning. It has that “so you like contemporary comics” tagline and the sneaky “oh we’re gonna go deep on some other stuff TOO” interior. It will awaken SOMETHING in you. Could be a big feeling, could be an interest in hedgehogs, who’s to say??

it's gesdraw 202 today 🦔 youtu.be/vG0Upz2rnls

story in one picture? ONE???

here are four pages from FRESH START, a semi-autobio graphic novel with colors by THE @charmgardens.bsky.social! it came out last month!! i regret to inform you that this part DID really happen bookshop.org/p/books/fres...

taking off this masking tape is going to feel PHENOMENAL

i was handed this fanart by a six-year old. the elementei guardians are original characters invented by the characters in this book, inspired by the games my sister and friends and i were playing when i was twelve. this is such a precious and incredible gift

I'm a comics creator. Every time I lead a workshop with kids, I see their absolute joy in drawing with their OWN HANDS. If you deny kids that joy by forcing them to type prompts into a computer, you're failing as an educator. Shame on you for this.

i had to drop what i was doing to make this

By popular request, here are my top 20 graphic novels/manga I read in 2025! 📚

Sketchbooks for everyone! I’ve been reading a lot of Lynda Barry lately and her ethos feels like a wonderful antidote to a world of dehumanization drawnandquarterly.com/books/making...

You should take Vajra's advice and fill out SFWA's survey. But you should also read his entire thread. He has much to illuminate on how our field is being poisoned.

Happened to find this - it's a useful little website if you A) want to know why you should drop Substack and B) want a list of alternatives. A couple also have tools to import your old SS posts over. leavesubstack.com #kidlit

Artists support artists advent calendar day 22: Gale is one of the freshest faces in comics right now! I’ve been a patron for years for their journal work alone, & love to pick up every graphic novel they make for the gorgeous vibrantly energetic art and heartfelt character work. Read their latest:

This is 404 Media's @jasonkoebler.bsky.social waving at himself through a Flock camera; one of 60 we learned was left exposed to the open internet. Not only could anyone with a link livestream it, but some admin portals were open with no login credentials required. www.404media.co/flock-expose...

A huge part of the book-banning project aims to make work that provides a public good feel impossible and unsafe! It targets authors, absolutely, but it’s also trying to add unreasonable administrative burdens to the work of teachers and librarians.

"Oh my godddd okay so you don't like genAI because it steals from artists, makes processes slower, creates more work for underpaid employees, is supported by data centers that are poisoning Black communities, doesn't even look good, and no one asked for it, but do you have to be so MEAN about it"

today I feel. . .

So… preorders are open for my upcoming graphic novel, QUEER AND HOW WE GOT HERE. It’s a memoir comic about gender and relationships, AND it’s a history comic about the activists who created the context for my life! Preorder for 20% off with code NOVL20: www.thenovl.com/landing-page...

ALA, @bookriot.bsky.social, @penamerica.bsky.social, @flfreedomread.bsky.social, @txfreedomread.bsky.social all track different aspects of the movement - no matter how you look at it, book bans are sweeping across the country. Don't miss our joint report: https://bit.ly/4qkTZh5

this is the most "Get a Job, Stay Away From Her" I've ever felt

Gender affirming care for trans people is safe, effective, and has a lower regret rate (4%) than almost any major medical procedure. It saves lives. These are facts. The right's talking-points are recycled "they are coming for your children!" scare tactics well over fifty years old at this point.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Providence Student Union released a statement addressing a lot of the things I've been concerned about being a reactionary response to the Brown shooting: lockdown drills can be harmful, we need school psychologists more than we need cops in schools. www.instagram.com/p/DSYAeSDjpG...

Bring this energy with you int 2026 (yes this is a threat)

how miserable, to have so little curiosity or joy or humanity that all you can think of to do with your one life is try and get some kids dead. pathetic

The extreme attack on transgender youth we are witnessing from a governmental stage was enabled by The Atlantic and The New York Times.

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.

what I want trans kids, queer kids, and gender nonconforming kids to know: you are loved you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

the brightest version of the future has you in it, thriving, existing as who you want to be. Let the adults fight for that world - what we need is for you to survive to live in it

The chapter ends, today on SABLE: A GHOST STORY. Now is a great time to catch up before the next chapter starts later this week! Sablecomic.com

It’s been a wild 30 days. The last few weeks I traveled from Baltimore, Burlington, Eugene, Boston, and LA to talk about Black Arms to Hold you Up. It’s only possible because of all the support from the comics community. I don’t have space to thank everyone, but hopefully you know who you are.

You don’t have to do this. Nobody has to do this.

Surge sneaking into the newest Rumble update got me looking through old Imposter Syndrome folders. Found the rough sketch for my IS#1 cover:
