"I need AI or my art won't look right!" This is what early episodes of Home Movies looked like, you're just terrified of criticism.

new witch dropped.

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.

FUCK that's good comics

DON'T LET CUBS BREAK CURSE

Bottoms, tops...we all hate cops 🖕🖕🖕

okay so my skyline is constantly constantly mutual aid requests, as most of us are financially drowning atm. shared palestinian accounts- which are specifically targeted and shut down by this website- make up such a tiny percentage of folks asking. this current backlash against just them? a bad look

Today's art share, the predator with a bmx

really enjoying HOSTILE PLANET out from Strangers Publishing, filled with really astounding post-environmental collapse comics, really beautiful work 🔥

back on my bullshit

A new study shows that Black women outpace every other group of women in workforce participation. Yet they are still paid less & retire in poverty at twice the rate of white women. This is a system. It is long past time this country started carrying them the way they have carried us.

Ugh, probably "if you can't pay the people who make your product your company is not sustainable." or just "that's not a revolutionary publishing model--its a ponzi scheme."

most pop culture analysis is creating meaning for stuff that has none

tl;dr: they are honoring scientific pioneer Bananas Gorilla of the Busytown Space Institute

to be smart and timely and funny while also stupid and unflinchingly self-effacing is a rare thing, what makes a comic worth more than a sum of its ideas, and so goddammit get this shit funded already
