I did a panel earlier this year on character development, and the idea of "earned subversion," where there an "earned" payoff to keeping a characters traits very consistent for a long time, for the purpose of getting to make jokes way later on in their arc. This is my favorite example of this 😭😭

seasonal knightheads, together at last

watched 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind'. Did not like it. Always good to see Robert Burke though

Saw a Green Party facebook post condemning violence, and warning about the far right. For some reason I looked at the comments, like it was my first day on the internet. Pretty demoralising. Oh well, I've got washing and drawing to do, films to watch, and dinner to cook. I should do all that

Hi I’m Chloe and I make these small-scale lively handmade mixed media original drawings, these four are still available just in case this is useful info. Actual art at all too reasonable prices. And if you can’t afford it, thank you for looking and sharing etc. #art www.chloecumming.com

if youre not on the race riot app you are living in a bubble, you have to contribute financially and provide free labor to the race riot generator or else you are in a bubble

really at the point where the UK/Ireland has regular race riots while our media en masse wrings it hands over the most socially acceptable way to genocide our trans population

On Beatles theme. Tired doodles from just now

Wes Streeting is Elon Musk levels of evil. He's only the best choice for a "which politician is most likely to have literal, non-metaphorical, skeletons in their closet?" ranking.

I remember years ago seeing a random episode of Dr Who from the olden days, and one of the companions was what I can only describe as "Evil Rodney" (but not Gary Sparrow), I wonder if I'll encounter him on my watchthrough of the John Pertwee and Tom Baker years

Not a fan of the modern dr who at all but I'd rather it existed than whatever other piss the BBC'll be spending their money on

now learning the character I 'mained' as a child in Fighting Masters on the sega megadrive, Equus the kickboxing horse, was called 'Flamer' in Japan.

If you need accompaniment on your commute this week, or while you’re doing the dishes or vacuuming, might I suggest the first 25-ish minutes of this episode where Matt & I discuss the very baby squirrel pictured below! Also the arcade game Pit Fighter and why it sucked!

As I turned 51 yesterday, here is thread of 51 pieces of art I have made in those years, in no particular order. #art #drawing

Show me a “just want to protect our women and girls” type and I’ll show you someone who’ll drive mothers and babies from their homes.

These images of mobs of mostly cis white men beating people up, kicking doors in, attacking random folks etc These are the government's mobs. This is what racist rhetoric gets you. Indulging white grievance as oppression gets you exactly this. This is the mob who will police the toilets.

main reason Dr Who is a kid's show is that the Dalek voice doesn't lend itself well to being heard after midnight when your neighbours might be trying to sleep

If @pauljonmilne.bsky.social can produce a World’s Worldest World mug in time for ThoughtBubble, I will buy a World’s Worldest World mug.

The UK government doesn't need to ban social media. It needs to ban X.

Watching a clip of the new Virtua Fighter game there and I sound very old but I'm put off by the fact you can knock someone's teeth out and it does so in a visually-realistic way. No thankyou!

I wonder if actual artists who don't use A.I. are still getting as micro-managed on licensed properties as they used to be, and it's just A.I. people who get away with sloppy off-model stuff. Probably no way to know as they'll only be hiring A.I. folk

As someone who used to work on licensed comics (Rugrats, Cartoon Network etc) it absolutely blows my mind that stuff like this is going out on official products. We'd get dragged over the coals if a spot colour was one Pantone reference out. Now? Sure, Donald has seven fingers. Why not?

Sometimes think about trying my hand at painting a Wargaming Miniature for the first time in years, but judging by how shaky my hand was while trying to thread a needle there, I don't think it'd work out well

If you like my games, please give them a thumbs up to help with viability 🙏

Terrible news: started a new game of Dark Souls but couldn't be arsed playing beyond the first bit

thinking about the harry enfield superhero parody sketch and how it wouldn've been easy to make him like Superman but instead they went for a kind of Kirby samurai egyptian fruit machine that is perhaps more problematic than I remember

Working on it (魔法少女)

people sending out petitions I've never heard of but would likely sign if I had: do not phrase it like this, please

The wedding of Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel. A true story: Dave Cockrum was so proud of this spread he asked for the original artwork back. Carmine Infantino said NO and Dave quit DC in protest. Afterwards Dave used the designs he had planned for the Legion to create the New X-Men with Len Wein.

I had never read Lifedeath II and the design blew my mind. Barry Windsor Smith is comic art at its finest. Just amazing.

Everybody look at this Turkish comic about a little guy who loves his humongous wife

Is it a good film from the '90s, or does it just not look like it was shot in an Amazon warehouse.

Like magic, if you explain to people how comics are made, they are quickly confused, irritated and bored.

Give us a follow on #bandcamp will you? We've had 249 follows for a while and it's wrinkling my brain 😸 calacas.bandcamp.com

thought about putting on a nice shirt today for my wander into town but what's the point

House to Astonish Presents: The Lightning Round Episode 31 is now live! @ifdestroyed.bsky.social and I look at issues 4-6 of 2004's Avengers/Thunderbolts, and ask: just how long can one fight scene last? bit.ly/lightningrou...

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

"The art of radioactive criminality"

suddenly remembered this amazing screencap by @pftompkins.bsky.social

I could knock Games Workshop up some box art featuring space marines with too many fingers and I wouldn't even need to use Artifical Intelligence!!! Sure a lot of the Fans'd be confused and enraged but when are they not

Someone in GW’s graphics design department is currently being yelled at then. Time will tell whether they’re being yelled at for using AI, not covering up the use of AI well enough, or making mistakes that look exactly like what people look for in AI. In 2026 it’s hard not to assume the 2nd one.
