@papajohnspizza.bsky.social is thirsty for me to order from them but can’t deliver to an address less than 4 miles away 🤣🤣🤣

When I last ran a Kickstarter (12 years ago) I think I had two scam accounts contribute, and ultimately not mess up my totals that much. For www.kickstarter.com/projects/rep... I've had 5, that have given, then taken away, about 1/3 of all contributions. That really sucks. But gotta keep going!

Well, Jaxson Dart can go straight to the bottom of Satan's shitter.

Good morning ☕️

Wait, the new Punisher bit is yet another origin story? For real? Please tell me this is false, because I was thinking about watching it but eff that noise.

Confidential to the folks who think "Golden Age" SF/F writers would be sad about current SF/F writers' lack of excitement over "AI": Why would you think the generation of writers who founded SFWA to defend the rights of working SF/F writers would somehow be cool with the plagiarism machine?

"Roses are red. I love a gardenia. Time for you to go back to Slovenia." Well done, Colbert!

Happy World Goth Day!

At work, I can't find an angle that will center me in the shot while sitting fully upright but not leave me a floating head when I lean back in the chair.

My new toothpick holder!

I hear Russia's girlfriend resigned from Trump's cabal this week, making America just that little bit more safe. Cool.

and it's LIVE! Please consider sharing, and maybe even backing my 48 page graphic novella adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's BERENICE. Along with other books, enamel pins, and more! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rep...

Excellent! I could find no info on the next book, so this is banging news.

The part of novel editing that even I despise—and I love editing—is the final pass. Scrolling with the paragraph “show” feature on and scanning for extra spaces/format issues page by page is eye melting and boring.

I updated my Art for Sale page. These three, and other original drawings, are available now at www.tomgauld.com/art-for-sale

On a whim, I bought a ticket last night and made my way to the ball park. I promised I would return once the Pirates actually started trying. Skenes rewarded my loyalty with an 8-inning, 10K, one-hit gem. Here's Skenes with the windup, the view from my seat, and a view of the park and the 'Burgh.

Thanks for trashing my branch, you dime store white supremacist dudebro.

Good morning ☕️

Donald Trump is trying to kill my friends. So I repeat — Trans rights are human rights.

Cheeto Jesus indeed.

Happy 100th birthday Sir David Attenborough! When I drew this cartoon, I put a lot of thought into which animal would have which job, but not a lot of thought into the design of this room. I'm sure Sir David has a much nicer bedroom in real life.

It's National Cartoonist's Day, so here are a few never before published cartoons about animals, because National Animals Day is every day.
