Favourite graphic novels of 2025 blog up now! www.hari-illustration.com/what-ive-bee... #BookRecs More books, nuance and yelling in the link. Comics are REALLY good, guys

i had to drop what i was doing to make this

You should take Vajra's advice and fill out SFWA's survey. But you should also read his entire thread. He has much to illuminate on how our field is being poisoned.

muppet christmas carol (happy holidays!)

damn do i gotta be watching that hockey show

Hey guess what Chuck Schumer's NYC phone line is wide open

the new katamari is a lot of fun but the pop in on some levels is Unacceptable

I cannot stress enough that most ppl don't ever even think about calling their reps. I talk to ppl in my fam about it and they go "Huh? What?". But your reps work for YOU. They need to know what you actually care about. When we call in big numbers it ALERTS them, cuz they rarely hear from us.

Perfect screenshot. Worf as a focal point is already killer, then your eyes travel to Data in the friar haircut and you think "this can't possibly get any better," and then there's the finishing blow of Geordi in his space visor plucking a lute

Jesse Hamm had the take to end all takes on children's media. "People who disdain writing ‘just for children’ fail to realize that those children will remember what they read, maybe for the rest of their lives. You’re not writing for permanent children; you’re getting an early start on adults.”

it turns out i really enjoy making educational posts about the comics making process and ways of thinking. here's another one featuring characters from my graphic novel in a very anachronistic art museum. (continues below!)

🚨🚨 Tomorrow, a House Energy & Commerce subcommittee is voting on passing KOSA & several other age verification bills. We need to spread mass opposition now. We cannot allow this to pass. We have to drive mass calls into congress NOW Call 202-224-3121 www.badinternetbills.com

I am once again begging yall to read Hungers Bite

it would be interesting that mega evolution turns any pokemon with gendered forms into a sort of intersex chimaera if it wasn't so clearly the result of laziness and not a creative choice. why do you even pick gender form pokemon for this.

so insanely fucking real for this

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

my comics advice that's somewhat related to "show feet" is that imo learning to draw distant things via less detail is more useful than scaling down your brush. a lot of newbies want to draw distant/small figures by just drawing smaller, but it turns mushy! and it takes forever!!

"Can I give Wick a hug? He looks like he badly needs one."

i've made many advice posts for comics in my time but today i'm begging cartoonists who want to do the big exaggerated expressions: stop shading them like the rest of the comic. if your comic has shading, for that one panel: no it doesn't

I played Horses this weekend and I wrote down some messy thoughts not only on the game but especially on the specter of formalism that emerged to haunt us all for a moment. transgamerthoughts.com/post/8023277...

heartbreaking, watching a random gastronauts season 2 episode and jordan is still a terrible host. what do you mean you're hosting a cooking show and you don't know sausage meat is put in the casing raw. are you stupid

I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there

i'm reassigning wick's favorite pokemon. it was originally one of the bats because Of Course but there's more to him than that. absol is perfect. guy worryingly adjacent to disasters. big puppy. don't tell me absols aren't dogs i'm not listening.

STOP! 🛑⛔🚫✋ Before you start rendering that full colour comic page, have you asked yourself if it would look better as Just Flats?

A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.

read my jrpg fantasy visual novel about kindness in the face of despair, religion as a tool of oppression, and the power of hot, evil women. (also there's a free demo 😊) gigidigi.itch.io/soulsov

if you work in comics, getting familiar with the Coop is a good idea. find out about rights, rates, and make connections to help you in the future, too.

what do we think, pilates or breakdancing

the greatest branding fumble of all time is subtitling the benoit blanc films with 'a knives out mystery' and not. a benoit blanc mystery

poker face season 2 is definitely not as good as the first one but when it hits it hits. love the conmen episode

if you're a webcomic author and don't have you story's ending completely planned out: do Not do this
