still my favorite christmas post

Maybe someday, after the eternal billionaire squabbles subside over who gets to own Warner Bros. next, this little gem will finally be released. Unlikely, but maybe.

Leave!!!!!!

SoCal storm is officially kicking in. Everyone driving to holidays tomorrow, FFS be careful.♥️❤️

The whole Black Dahlia/Zodiac killer expose.. eehhh. I read the LAT article. Saw pics of the guy(BROOOO!) . He actively admits he used AI as an *ANALYTICAL* aid…. I’ll be convinced when LAPD actual officers chew the evidence & confirm it.

Found your Christmas present

He was despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.

I have baked all the cookies and made the Christmas cake. Tomorrow Friendsmas begins! I have Aussie Jingle Bells ready on loop.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Day 23 of Things I Don't Usually Draw: hard lines... But I do have a plethora of them and this is one hill I'll die screaming on.

Vote to rename the Streisand effect the Weiss Effect. Babs wasn’t being stupid when she inspired this phenomenon, she was just paranoid about her privacy. Bari is a straight-up imbecile who deserves the tarring.

I HATE that with everything heinous that the ‘shadow’ govt(Miller, Thiel etc) has done that has caused suffering for so many.. it’s putting complete dumbasses in public-facing charge that is causing it all to break. The emperors have no clothes. YELL IT OUT.

Watching. (Only 5% an actual Christmas movie😝)

Happy Winter Solstice and Happy Birthday to Elsa of the Enchanted Forest, Protector of the Northuldra, Fifth Element, Supreme Being….

Way too many blue wave liberals on here sharing AI images making fun of Trump or whatever. Please stop.

Disney used to absolutely rule at Christmas Card design. Not a clanger in the lot. (There’s even an art book about them which I HIGHLY recommend.).

"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you

PSA to avoid Uline like the plague for your packaging needs. Clearbags has every specific bag and board you could want and there’s also good old BCW for comic & art sleeves on Amazon.

I haven’t felt much holiday excitement this year, I’ve even skipped the tree cuz I’ve been away half the month! But I AM spending the holidays with dear friends and good food & drink, that’s more than enough for me ♥️

reminder:

The #1 movie when you were ten years old is how your 2026 is going to go. STICKS!

I could never be a Muppet builder (they’re amazing people!) but damn it’d be fun to be a costume designer/sewer for Muppets (Yes I’m watching Muppet Xmas Carol and its magnificent costumes).

This is the same in toy design too. Most of the jobs I get are ‘here’s a mood board, give us 4-6 concepts… okay we like that one, give us 3-4 costumes/looks/colour variations..’ THIS IS THE FUN PART, anyone who thinks it’s tedious is no creator.

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-" wrong I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI get good

This is ALL TRUE. Being a Disneyland nerd who pays more every year for my pass/key that only cost 650 when I first got it… (don’t ask what it costs now!!) This is on the money and sobering for both Magic Key and day guests.

Happiness is remembering the 2 pieces of leftover deep dish pizza in the garage freezer.

I started drawing before I was 2 but comic strips were my passion & I started drawing them at about age 7-8, inspired by Peanuts. My mother was sincerely concerned that I only borrowed comic collections from the library and not ‘real books’ 😆 (Fortunately, Dad encouraged it! 😆😆)

Reminder for this time of year: Freelancers/contractors, you get to be off the clock too! If the client office is closed for the holidays, so are you.

Hello gawgeous ⚛️♥️

Absolutely the best!

"Bluesky is an echo chamber." "Bluesky doesn't have enough reach" "Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right" I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

Zootopia 2 is the highest grossing Hollywood movie of the year & Kpop Demon Hunters was Netflix's most popular movie of all time, but fuck animators, am I right? I hate reading about how huge & beloved this stuff is while knowing how hard creators have it & how it still isn't broadly taken seriously

As other people who've worked with Disney have pointed out, Disney has ALWAYS been the biggest hardasses about making sure every penstroke that goes into drawing Mickey had better look like it was drawn by Freddy Moore himself, but then they invest $1 billion into a mutant Mickey-making machine.

We need to bring this shit back. DIY decorations hit HARD in the 50’s & 60’s.

We salute you, Charles Clyde Ebbets

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Note for the over 30’s: we don’t HAVE to speak Kid/Teen. Let them have their patter. Just be there for them. Support them. My niece is 10. She and her friends speak a whole different language. If I ask what something means in genuine curiosity, they happily tell me.

Continuing from the previous comic. #belzebubs

An extremely good point here to casual family users of this mess. You create AI content of you/your kids with Dis characters and upload/host it on Disney’s servers… you know that means Disney OWNS YOUR LIKENESS and may very well sell/exploit it with you having ZERO say? Just sayin…

Disember 8: Giselle and the Terrible Horrible No-Good Likeness Compensation Clause.

When someone tries to tell me who Olivia Nuzzi is my eyes roll back and my mouth emits a 56k baud dial-up modem signal continuously until they go away.

Ok so I can’t be the only one who is wistfully remembering the days when Netflix was just some company that mailed you movies on discs.. as a simple alternative to video rental libraries. THAT Netflix. Yikes.

The purpose of their killing is to show off how badass it is that they can kill If you live under one of these regimes you should not count the people who carry out these crimes as morally distinct in any sense from Jeffery Dahmer or John Wayne Gacy
