For the morning crowd - a new comic by me and Hagai.

Peter Thiel founded Palantir. Peter Thiel, in Epstein’s circle. Peter Thiel who has said he doesn’t feel freedom and democracy are compatible.

TV lighting from that era is wild. I often think about this shot of Columbo meeting Little Richard

"The UK creative industries — which contributed £125 billion to the economy in 2024 and supported 2.4 million jobs — are being destroyed by an AI sector that, whatever its long-term potential, contributed just £11 billion in the same year and supported only 85,000 jobs." archive.is/hvRv2

“This will result in the largest ever accumulation of power and wealth in the hands of a diminishing few, while the legitimate needs of the people, from healthcare to education, are met with ‘let them eat chatbots’. That is the intent and why AI is a project of class domination.” – Bhaskar Mitra

it is the same playbook everywhere. “vote for us! we will make you great again by punishing the people you hate! do not pay attention to the fact that we’re also shoveling your money into the pockets of the uber wealthy and building a giant boot to step on your face too (preferably forever)”

Oooo! What a dramatic scene!

On that note, no one does aviation art as well as Keith Burns.

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis. #iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls

ICE is using a Palantir tool that uses Medicaid and other government data to stalk people for arrest, 404 Media reports. This is exactly the kind of data privacy abuse that EFF has been warning about.

BEANO artist Laura Howell is delivering a free online masterclass on Writing and Drawing for Kids Comics this Tuesday, 13th January 2026, as part of the Comics Youth “Comics Declassified” project https://downthetubes.net/laura-howell-next-comics-declassified-guest-offering-comic-creation-tips/

any movie that centers on a toxic asshole and presents it in an energetic, entertaining way, should stop pretending to criticize anything, since the audience walks away thinking "the guy's a piece of shit who ruined everyone's life, but i had a fun time" and that last part overrides everything else.

oh i had this realization once

FYI the limited Winky the Pirate Cat with Kryptonite Action Eye is now available at stores that hate Superman. Get yours before some idiot at DC retcons it.

reminder that you can replace three (or more) distinct brush sizes with a single one if you do this sort of thing (without the fiddliness and exhaustion of having to carefully maintain three specific ranges of pressures, like you would on brushes that usually have a straight diagonal line in here)

Last time I did that... I was having a convo with a friend who's comfortable drawing horses. I told her I put too many art points towards hands and so hands horse was born Def totally counts right?
