Trump is very confused about what Nick Shirley was up to in Minnesota: "When it comes to nursing homes, you saw where a young gentleman was going around and knocking on doors and none of the nursing homes existed, none of the nurseries existed"

IS TED OK? issue 2 March 25 What do you do when the delusions become dangerous? What do you do when the delusions become real? @madcavestudios.com

I’ll make a fancy post about it tomorrow but, last year, I drew and colored SPECTRUM, PLAGUE HOUSE, and the first issue of HIGH STRANGENESS. I’d appreciate it if you nominated me for the Best Artist Ringo Award so I can lose to Hayden Sherman.

Advance Review of 'Is Ted Ok?' #2 (2026) that I wrote for @thecomicon.bsky.social. tinyurl.com/5bfshj9f #comics #comicbooks #comicbook @madcavestudios.com #review #writing

Latest comic on changing usage of the insult "PC," a form of linguistic warfare that has successfully redefined morality, human rights, and democracy itself as "liberal" -- and therefore weak, effeminate, and inferior.

Joe Quesada has been doing absolute nuts and bolts comic storytelling in his newsletter for a few months now, and they're really absolutely great stuff. You've likely heard me say Size Is Meaning, but he hits the ideas a lot harder and wider in this one.

Sorry I’m gonna QT: Comic writing is not a complete element separate from the art & also completely misunderstands how much the artist co-creates the story with character design, character acting, pacing, coloring, lettering style, etc; components the writer does not or cannot contribute to.

depressingly accurate analysis of the situation

Underneath all this blummin' fascism there is a new world waiting to be born - and it's not petrol powered...

I’m singing and playing guitar for a Weezer Pinkerton 30th anniversary show this fall. So, I’ve been diving hard into that album, and I feel pretty certain I’ve unearthed a connection between overall narrative and key areas and I’ve never seen anyone connect these things. I feel like Nicolas Cage.

I frequently follow a certain kind of yapper on YouTube, and three of them seem pretty convinced there is/was an attempted coup on in Russia. Apparently, the internet's been out in Moscow for a week or two, some inner circle types are thought to have already fled the country, and others are MIA.

9.9/10 advance review of the second issue of IS TED OK? You guys, this series…you’re gonna effing love it

Genocidal fascism is here

Mad Cave Studios announces Ted is indeed okay. "Dave Chisholm’s new, unsettling sci-fi epic, Is Ted OK? issue #1, has gone to a second printing, featuring a striking new cover by Chisholm."

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This kid wants to get out of detention in time for his school spelling bee. What the fuck are we doing.

I cleaned my studio/office today--I am trying to remember the last time I cleaned and organized and I think it's been like three years. It feels AMAZING now. I obviously can work just fine in a cluttered environment but now it's not embarrassing and I actually want to spend time in here NOT working.

You like process? Here’s a few process shots of the cover of the second printing of IS TED OK? issue 1. Have your shop preorder this before MONDAY, MARCH 16. Published by @madcavestudios.com

Just now realizing that my socks don’t match in this photo

This is awesome--I use a similar set of rules but add a couple more things if that's ok: 1. One drawing from reference and one drawing from imagination per x pages (to keep these two things in close stylistic quarters) 2. Try to use these things in service of the story as much as you possibly can

Just now realizing that my socks don’t match in this photo

One more. Here’s the reference photo. Flipped, as I am actually right-handed.

He's a goofy little bitch cosplaying Norman Osborn isn't he

It is already a utility that individual people were once paid to dispense. And now Atlman is stealing it from us to sell to other people. He's a parasite.

Let’s reframe what we consider “90s comics” - the medium has always contained multitudes. This conversation with Stephen Bissette, Chris Stevens, and Jim Rugg is an all-timer for me. I truly hope you listen.

This means it’s time to clean my office/studio—long overdue 😬

www.cbr.com/is-ted-ok-1-... “…this comic has a certain air of danger to it, but the best kind of danger in fiction, that feeling that you're experience something sharp, and new.” Big thanks to @briancronin.bsky.social at CBR for the amazing review! @madcavestudios.com

Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils and paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

Hell yeah, this issue turned out rad as hell. Big thanks to @besspallares.bsky.social for helping me get the opportunity to contribute to the High Strangeness panoply!

Abolish ICE is the moderate position.

Unsurprising to see Is Ted Ok? #1 selling out! Excited to read it! madcavestudios.com/news/mad-cav...

You should have ice cream

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

One page left to draw for IS TED OK? I'm not ready to be done with this thing yet!

You know what to do, folks.

The last day to pre-order the second printing of IS TED OK? issue 1 is Monday, March 16. You might as well do it.
