Your Wednesday FLASH GORDON ⚠️

I am helping curate a VERY special museum exhibition: The Funny Pages: A Comic Strip Exhibit Celebrating Hoosier Cartoonists! This exhibit spotlights several Indiana newspaper cartoonists, cartoonists working with legacy comics, and cartoonists with special ties to Indiana.

Regular READ FLASH GORDON klaxon. In my head, all the Power Men sound like Yorkshire mechanics, proper teeth-sucking'n'all.

Today in FLASH GORDON: Time to hit up the damn POWER MEN 🛠️

Old art: When you need an extra beat in a panel progression, characters who are smokers come in real handy.

Your Monday FLASH GORDON ⚡️

This thought hasn't totally solidified yet, but A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS makes me think of this Dan Harmon quote about the Rick and Morty writers' room trying to zero in on what the core joke of the 'Tales from the Citadel' episode was, eventually realizing "so the joke is that we nail it"

From Flash Gordon to everyone

Starting next week on my Patreon -- DESTINY WALKER, FREELANCE WITCH: THE LIBRARY OF DOOOOM. Patreon.com/matthewdowsmith

I think we could pump the breaks on saying things are "happening in real time." Everything happens in real time. That's how time works. I see you padding the word count, you ain't slick

A summary of the past week in FLASH GORDON, in which Bok the Dragonman is forced to switch from a fly on the wall to a hammer in the soup

Thun, Xillo, Vultan, Velle — The key to making up Flash Gordon character names is to take nearest street sign and subtract/rearrange the letters until you have a word that sounds vaguely like a lifestyle app

Hey, here’s the thing—and this is awkward: I know you haven’t read issue 1 of IS TED OK?, but issue 2’s final-order-cutoff is a week from Monday. If you’re at all hyped about my book, please let your comic shop know you want the whole gosh-darned series. Don’t miss out.

Man, the writing in PRINCE VALIANT is so wonderful. Pulply yet elegant, underlining the art with these great sensory details. The villain "gallops recklessly" while Val's horse "thunders... foam flecked and panting." It makes the story feel tangible and dreamy at the same time. That's Camelot, baby.

Your Saturday FLASH GORDON

Inza was Doctor Fate during such a specific slice of DC history. Pre-hook Aquaman, Animal Man with the jacket, Hal Jordan with the grey temples. Hawkworld and Lobo and Tim Drake. And desert storm I guess

Maynard Dixon, Wild Horses of Nevada, 1927 #art #painting #artist #BlueSkyArt

In today's FLASH GORDON: a test of loyalty

... and this is how, in two panels, @danschkade.bsky.social makes a 90-plus-year-old character who started as a paper-thin racist stereotype more terrifying and menacing than he's ever been.

Today is @sandyjarrell.com Day! 🎂🎉 sandyjarrell.myportfolio.com/miscellaneous

Oh look, the best comic is back. www.superherohype.com/comics/65227...

Your Thursday FLASH GORDON:

Life's a rocky proposition but tonight I did get to beat a man who kept cheating at bar trivia and I got to see a dog in a little radio flyer wagon

Alright Texas! Early voting has officially started. It’s time to show this nation exactly what Texas is made of. Make a voting plan—get to the polls and make your voices heard.

A highly interesting thread about one of Flash's eight thousand heirs

Tharg has given me the honour and challenge of completing the late, great Dave Taylor's "Megatropolis Book 2". I'm doing my best to produce a smooth transition with the help of my colourist, Antonietta Saulino. Coming soon to the Judge Dredd Megazine and @2000ad.bsky.social

Today in FLASH GORDON: You come at Ming, you best not miss

SHKAH-dee. It's Czech.

My various ELDEN RING nonsense, since it's been doing the rounds

Your Tuesday FLASH GORDON!

Two warmup sketches from last night: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and a Cowboy of the Forty-Five States

Your Monday morning FLASH GORDON 💀

Happy Valentine's weekend from on-indefinite-hiatus fantasy comic THE CHASTE AND THE CHAINED's not-quite-couple, who briefly live again as I wrap up a prose adaptation of the series' first issue (while waiting for my ailing drawing hand to recover enough to start drawing a DIFFERENT fantasy comic).

The fact that folks are still out there enjoying our book, talking about it, telling folks about it, is really special to me.

Nancy 2/15/26 … presenting “My Daily Schedule”

A brand new episode of NEXT DOOR DUNGEON is up and live! It's Chapter 27~ A LITTLE GAME OF HIDE THE RHINOCEROS. The whole series is available to read for free on Royal Road! Even more on my Patreon! Even more in my brain! Join the adventure! www.royalroad.com/fiction/1507...

I'm friends with a lot of asexual artists which ironically means my social media feeds can get REAL smutty

Your Sunday summary of the past week in FLASH GORDON⚡️

We're living the life apocalyptic but at least we ain't living it alone, here's your February 14th FLASH GORDON ❤️‍🔥

There's a guy across the cafe from me dressed like Ben Franklin and he keeps aggressively rubbing the bald cap part of his wig and it's making me really nervous for some reason

"ai will replace all white collar jobs within the next two years" says man who will be chopped up and sold for parts by creditors if it doesn't

Guys will repost an ai-generated clip of Walter White and say "wow I genuinely can't tell this isn't real" and like, yeah dude, that's how being fooled works. That's not the future of cinema, that's a fake Rolex

It's your Friday morning FLASH GORDON ⚡️

A real baddie shouted "WHO HERE FUCKS WITH GAME OF THRONES" at the bar tonight — I looked up and she came over and told me who'll die in the next episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which isn't a surprise as I've read The Hedge Knight but damn that is some bananas energy for a Thursday night

Reminder: Comic artist @danschkade.bsky.social Webtoon webcomic Lavender Jack comes to Dark Horse in a beautiful print edition in March! Pre-order: bit.ly/3JaIzfn By Schkade, @jennmanleylee.myatproto.social and @dylantodd.bsky.social
