Shortbox comics is irrefutable evidence that comics look inherently better without corporate meddling. Look at this shit

another surgery done today and hopefully the last for a looong time. finding myself again one piece at a time!

The Fullness Of Emptying All Thy Faithful Plenitude // 2025 Proud to finish something I actually like after being so art blocked after surgery, I feel like I’m rerooting myself back into my curiosity, passions and tastes!

My credit card is not prepared for the ShortBox Comics Fair…

Haven't painted something I've been pleased with in a while. Really enjoyed doing this little portrait of Archie

comics are good

Kid Koala: I’m not saying he’s a prophet or anything, but there was an Orwellian style of writing this, where he just connected the dots, synthesizing everything he was seeing on the news and reading about. Del:...As long as you got people in power, usually they’re going to abuse power in some way

Today is the very last day of Ex.Mag Volume 6! LETS GO! www.kickstarter.com/projects/peo...

there is no fear in America that informs policy so profoundly as the terror that we might accidentally afford someone human rights or dignity without first determining that they have earned those things; and, by extension, the idea that those things must be earned.

* write what makes you happy * try to write better tomorrow than you did yesterday * if you have a chance to help a fellow writer you like, do it

If you can list the shit that horrifies you about the Trump administration and not connect that to, say, the carceral system that you've always just sort of assumed worked, then what you are concerned about is the visibility and/or inconvenience of atrocities, not their existence.

"the economic might of the genocidal machine is still not weakened"

telling yourself you don’t know what the truth is is plain fucking cowardice in the heart of your heart in the depth of your solitude you know that you need to fight hard until you have devoured this

if the revolutionary message in art needs to be removed from the context of where it comes from to be valid, it's not actually a revolutionary message, it's just more of the spectacle

i have complicated feelings on the topic of "representation" in media. a few years ago i wanted to make a kind of essay comic about it, but i'm not sure i'm ready to bare my soul quite that much. anyway, real people are more important than fictional characters.

It breaks my heart that this is both the correct thing to do & a sign of how awful things are right now. @marinaomi.bsky.social built something beautiful that helped make the comics industry (& community) better. Now they're taking it down to keep artists safe. ❤️❤️❤️

😳 KNAPSACK VOL. 2 advance copy!!!!! we’re sooo happy with how poppy the colors turned out, totally lettuce green and tomato red! 🥬🍅🍎🍏 we’ve received word from our printers that the books are all finished! we’re waiting on the shipping schedule, and we’ll keep you all posted 🤍

The fact that society does not seem to any longer value investing in education, at any level of it from K-Ph.D., does not mean that what makes for high quality teaching & learning has changed. It just means we're lazy & greedy, as a society, & don't want to invest in things or do hard work anymore.

“I don’t know enough about the subject of Palestine” is not an excuse for not speaking up anymore. It is not. We’ve been flooded with information about Palestine for two years now. If you still don’t know, it’s because you don’t want to know. That makes you a coward in my book.

Still haven’t decided if the opossum gets this outfit in Volume 1, guess you’ll have to just back the book to find out why he might need some clothes

crane's cheerful little guy who travels the world getting into adventures was a direct influence on gottfredson, which in turn uh influenced hergé. the whaling story in the smithsonian book is one of WT's best. crane's depiction of women: fuckin awesome. his depiction of black people: fuckin yikes

INTERVIEW…Upchuck are tired, rowdy, and very much alive: KT on rage, cellos, and why Bristol goes harder than Atlanta Atlanta punks Upchuck are a band built on rage, resilience, and community – and right now they’re unstoppable. Fronted by the ferocious KT, the five-piece have been turning heads…

Christ, the raw talent here.

Thinking about that Miyazaki quote about creators of anime nowadays being primarily people who just watch anime and not getting external influences outside of anime in comparison to Uematsu growing up deeply on prog, psychedelic, and electronic music.

still the coolest comic to come out in 2025

Tell me again, cultural critic, how you don't believe the BDS approach is effective and that their demands are unrealistic because you don't want to stop playing with your toys.

everyone's going to see the movie made by a zionist scored by a zionist starring a zionist that did that vicious anti homelessness thing during filming
