God, it's so devasting to watch the games industry be obliterated. Month after month, more layoffs, more gutting, more scrapping, more greed.

The controversy over the Charity & Sylvia GNs has raised many issues about historical research and how non fiction GNs should handle citations, but the idea that it is a "rip off" is grossly unfair to Tillie Walden. I picked up a galley at ALA and this is 250 pages of densely reimagined storytelling

Sticking my nose into this to say that having heard Tillie speak publicly about the book multiple times, she openly acknowledges that Cleves' biography was a foundational text, and has dedicated an entire website www.charityandsylvia.com to a bibliography citing hers and Cleves' research.

A new page of The Golden Boar! 🐗✨ www.thegoldenboar.com

New to the library: we've digitized the complete run of Neopets The Official Magazine. Yes, Neopets! It's important game history, and here's why:

Happy Pride. My werewolf-western-horror-romance story DARLIN' AND HER OTHER NAMES is now a weekly webcomic. The first 6 pages of Part 1 are up now. 🐺❤️🌿 darlin.webcomic.studio

"let people enjoy things" is over. we must want things to be good

section from the scarlet hollow episode 4-5 devlog regarding players sending hate mail over getting locked out of episodes 6 and 7 for using a hacked worldstate (which, while specifically about video games, is definitely relevant to fandom in general)

“so what’s your take?” “the city of New York must pay me $1 million cash in the next hour and I will kill one person for every minute they are late” “100% disagree”

PS: did you know we're gonna be Kickstarting a print version of The Goblin Throne this summer? And you can use evil magicks (ie, this link) to be among the first to know the moment it launches?? www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

Hard at work on the latest issue of OBLIVIOUN, a 48-page chapter in which my protagonist manages to make three different women/girls upset with him. How does he achieve this impressive feat? Well, you'll have to read and find out.

I played Mundaun a few years back and loved it! Gorgeous, unique, and unsettling.

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

ok I will stop fiddling with this now

graphic novels are so cool because i'll have an idea for a visual i really really want to draw and then 18-24 months later when i finally get there i'm like. whose dumb fucking idea was that

It's Epiphany, which means it's time for Cuddling Kings in Medieval art

Picked up KCD2 on sale right before the New Year and it's the first RPG I've been able to really get into in a longgg time. Noah and I are calling it "Henry Simulator." We love him! That's our guy!

Drawing comics is like (starts the next page) OHH GOOODDDDD I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRAW THISSSSS (draws it anyway)

I loved expedition 33 as much as the next guy, but I personally think it's far preferable to come down pretty militantly on AI use than to risk being overly permissive. The slope is too slippery and the stakes are too high.

hey @mgillman.bsky.social

#artvsartist for 2025, featuring my big, red face and my very blue art. I also wrote a retrospective for this year of art-making on Instagram: www.instagram.com/p/DSVYhiZESpu/

This is genuinely, actually the plot of my MFA thesis comic.

It’s Obra Dinn. Obra Dinn gives you a structure to work in that makes you feel like you’re smart even if you’re not *that* smart. It’s baffling that more AA/AAA games have not folded it into their games RPing ‘smart’ characters. (Even tho I’ve been pitching them for years.)

3:19am I believe in us. We will be okay. We will see communism in our lifetimes. I love you. 3:44am Burning all my paintings. My art is a waste I am sorry for wasting so much time I will never be good enough 4:31am if kirby swallowed a pirate he would be Scurby

This person took this when they called the race

YES YES YES!!!

A lesson I'm continually having to learn about my own process is that if drawing comics feels like there's a brick wall in my brain, that's often less an indicator that I need to push through and more that I need to rework the page to be something I'm actually excited about.

Don't fuck this one up, NYC. I love you, I believe in you.

my webcomic The Nameless Prisoner is coming soon...! fantasy adventure (gay) romance.. It's about a cursed knight who's deserted his order, and now he's been blackmailed into delivering the head of a recently executed prisoner to the queen... but when he shows up the guy is unfortunately very alive

☀️MEMENTO VIVERE/MEMENTO MORI🌒 Double sided bookmark design which was part of the prize pack in the MCM October Medieval Stamp Rally

Skeleton time.

Happy Halloween from me, a skeleton!

We're excited announce our final publication for 2025: Crawlspace by Violet Kitchen! It's available for pre-order now on our website and will debut at MICE in December. www.bulgilhanpress.com/store/p/craw...

This is more in-line with what these "rural" cemeteries were designed for anyways. They were effectively public parks where people would picnic and stroll. Now, most cemeteries are both too precious for public use and utterly neglected by their municipalities. Make them public spaces again!

New Screenprinted Moon Phase Calendars for 2026. Behold them! This year's is printed on black paper in green and gold ink and inspired by my daily walks in the Vermont backwoods. www.etsy.com/shop/Punched...

"Gothic" is one of the best bridges between academic and pop-cultural writings on the genre I've found, so I'm EXTREMELY excited to now buy this.

How important is lighting to photographing a gravestone? Here is the same stone at 11:55 am and 12:28 pm on the same day. Raking sunlight picks out every detail in the carving (and even the texture of the stone). grave of silversmith Timothy Dwyt [Dwight] d.1692, Granary Burying Ground, Boston

Two chapters read so far, and I'm all-in. Extremely excited to follow this @ngoziu.com

Not out of Act 1 yet, so maybe this is some serious hubris talking, but I think a lot of people complaining about Silksong are not meeting it where it's at mechanically. It's a very different beast than Hollow Knight even if they superficially look the same.

so far, my favourite shortbox comic! a delightful sex comedy about a pair of dysfunctional fujoshi that has some really, really funny fake yaoi comics in it. if you've ever been around BL culture or the women that inhabit it, this is written with a lot of love for and fond jokes about both.

Some fun names and graves from Hope Cemetery in Barre this weekend.

Heidi has supported so many cartoonists just starting out, including me- please donate if you can to help her out during a series of hardships no one should have to endure.

Almost Home - this month’s riso print to ring in the fall. Not sure how to describe it, but this time of year always feels like I’m almost “home” so I wanted to come up with something that touches on that feeling a little

Welcome in the Fall season by checking out my cozy gothic mystery series, where queer kids solve occult crimes. Find the Deephaven Mysteries wherever you get books!

there's never been a better time than right now to get lincolnpilled. well i guess 1858 or so would have been pretty good too but since then

This fall, CCS will host a series of low-cost ($5), 90-minute webinars. All proceeds will go to sponsor zine fests around the USA that CCS supports. Here is the lineup!: High Contrast Comics with Andy Warner ’12 – 10/15 & Autobio Comics with Betsey Swardlick ’11 – 10/29 cartoonstudies.org/workshops
