The thing about the Western comics versus Manga debate is that everyone uses Western comics as a shorthand for Love and Rockets. That's just one book, not a medium... or even a genre. What about Spider-Man or the other one?

could i make it any more obvious

@casparw.bsky.social Love that Masumi’s shirt here is both a Home Sick Pilots reference and a fairly apt description of the cast of the power fantasy!

#ALL50RTS Day 43 8. BELLE AND SEBASTIAN - “The Boy With The Arab Strap” (98) A track that makes me intensely nostalgic for my late 20s with a lovely nodding dog scout campfire beat. I once hung around in Pret just to see if they’d fade out before the wanks bit (they did) youtu.be/dN1iW-ee5I8?...

I remember as a small nerd I used to often morbidly think “what if *I* die before that book/LP/comic I want comes out?”, obviously this was a skill issue and I should have been yelling “you OWE me mister” at the artists I liked

Los Camp! play Green Man Festival tonight. 📍 Far Out ⏰ 19:30 (60 min set) It’s the Big Welsh Gig, our triumphant return to GM, 17 years after our last visit. Who’s with us!?

The three paintings I did back in 2010 for The Sweet Smell of Success for @criterion.bsky.social All gouache on paper.

Nothing like a good old fashioned @kierongillen.bsky.social #11

Remembrance, A Hellblazer pride fancomic by us and @pd-marshall-comics.bsky.social. John Constantine confronts old memories. (1/7) #art #dccomics #comics #JohnConstantine #Hellblazer

Has there ever been a better first-four-songs-of-an-album sequence than that of Big Star's #1 RECORD?

I don't draw a lot of fan art, but I felt compelled to scribble this out because I'd have loved to see what @al-ewing.bsky.social would've done with Li'l Joey.

#ALL50RTS Day 15 36. PATTI SMITH - “Land: Horses / Land Of A Thousand Dances / La Mer(de)” She loves horses, best of all the animals. Thrilling, intense, silly, visionary, provocative, occasionally quite embarrassing, i.e. everything you’d want from rock in 9 minutes youtu.be/cSk6jfln84A?...

#ALL50RTS Day 3 48. DEXYS MIDNIGHT RUNNERS - “The Occasional Flicker” Kevin Rowland comes back after his global smash hit to tell us “Compromise is the devil talking” and bellow “I WAS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!” before getting into a conversation about heartburn youtu.be/9rrOabygtQY?...

Many of this Labour government were indie kids at uni back when bands as dangerous as Kingmaker were singing about bombing the House of Lords, they’ve seen where this can lead

The most important part of republican fascism is the demand you must be nice to them.

Hi I made a silly little comic about singing MCR

Here’s to Brian Wilson, and all the heroes who go on great adventures in their dressing gowns.

In honor of Brian Wilson's passing, here are the four categories of Beach Boys songs: 1. surfing is great, you should try it 2. I have a good vehicle 3. I reach beyond myself into the ineffable, and that's where I find you, my love 4. sloop john b

like when you run across a Kirby drawing of Spider-Man and it feels existentially off while still being compelling

My Reactionary Views Are Transparently A Mid-Life Crisis (But Here’s Why That’s Good Actually)

Mark Millar being a full-blown ComicsGate supporter is not very surprising but the impact he had on western comics (especially in the oughts) now feels like a full-blown tragedy. There's no real excuse for his stuff that can hold up when he's openly declared his allegiance to fight the "wokes".

A group of Labour MPs, peers and supporters write: “We should legislate to root out DEI in hiring practices, sentencing decisions and wherever else we find it in our public bodies.” Devastated to see how quickly this has arrived in the UK mainstream. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The vibe today.

The thing with Pedro Pascal is he not only gives a fuck; he knows he's huge enough to spend all day trashing bigots safely because entire franchises are built around him atm. He's no dispensable Gina Carano-tier secondary guy. This also underlines how most famous artists as big as him are cowards.

Absolutely fuck everyone involved in this show. They know. They all know. It's impossible not to at this point. Lithgow had a CLOSE FRIEND reach out and try and get how awful this is through to him and he's more than happy to take the role and is "curious" to meet Rowling. Absolute fucking scum.

Trans rights and trans liberation now. Anyone with a heart or a soul is sick of this evil shit and how it's taken over the UK - not to mention it's the tip of the spear, as we've been warned by our trans siblings so many times. No forgiveness or pity for transphobes, in government or outside of it.

NHS England has just removed all guidance about changing gender + NHS number in system within the last hour. Now this link redirects to solely be about adoption. pcse.england.nhs.uk/help/patient...

I did a cover for @kierongillen.bsky.social and @casparw.bsky.social's THE POWER FANTASY #9, in the latest solicits.

This is huge. My petition got approved. It challenges the UK government to the lift the Puberty Blocker ban on the grounds that it contradicts article 8 of The United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child. Please sign and Repost ✊️🏳️‍⚧️ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Something I haven't seen in coverage of the trans military ban is that the language in it seems custom designed to be used to ban us from other fields as well.

I think a lot about how whenever MCU stans were shown the original Jack Kirby panels they recoiled like Dracula from garlic.

Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller January 24,1948

cool how Judith Butler said the gender critical movement is ideologically incapable of offering resistance to the coming fascism and got pilloried for using big words, and now official GC organisations are releasing statements of support for Trump's first acts as returning president

Darth Maul and Savage Opress probably had a third brother named Cuddly Friendkin who they were super mean to at family reunions

A comic by me :)
