In summary: US troops are merely mercenaries in the service of the Saudis and the criminal government of Israel. What a spectacular, pathetic downfall.

So sad to share that legendary colorist Tatjana Wood has passed away at the age of 99. Her pioneering painterly touch graced scores of DC & Vertigo series. She was truly one of a kind and a special friend. May her memory be a blessing.

And some people were worried that the Large Hadron Collider would create a black hole that would swallow our planet.

Mały recykling Fiata 126p w mojej wersji Liberty Walk Abas Works, narysowanej dla Błażeja Kurowskiego do trzeciego tomu „Stachonowiec in Space”. Myślę, że Maluch na to zasługuje.

I was there when this comic (one of the best in Poland in 2023) was being born. Fungae is comic-book literature of the highest order, a work of narrative mastery created by some of our finest people and my good friends. Don’t miss it over there across the Big Water, chooms!

I haven’t talked much about what I did in the international Legion of Ukraine, because of survivor’s guilt, because it’s difficult, & my army experience didn’t involve guns or the front line. I used a laptop more than a rifle. But with the legion being formally dissolved, I want to change that.

Last Saturday, during Podziemne Kocury, the Polish independent comics awards were presented. In the Zine/Anthology category, AKT #39 from Toruń won (partly dedicated to celebrating the 25th anniversary of the publishing house Kultura Gniewu). The issue also features my illustration.

To ALL my comic loving/making friends on here. If you can do me a MASSIVE favour and share this message (not just like) about my new crime heist comic THE SKIM... Well, that would be all kinds of wonderful and i'd appreciate it greatly. Thank you! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mat...

You don’t need Disney-level resources and drawing skills to create animation. People have made classics with sand and a source of light. With magazine clippings, or their own bodies animated via stop motion. There’s no barrier to entry, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/sand-and-a...

Otwarte Komiksy hosted Berenika Kołomycka and fragments of the animated pilot episode based on her Tiny Fox and Great Boar comic series were presented publicly for the 1st time! I had the honor of directing it. Produced by EGoFILM. The production is co-financed by the Polish Film Institute.

So, the best-selling comic published by Kultura Gniewu in 2025 was… PRODUKT #25 (and the previous issue from 2024 ranked 11th!). I’ve had the pleasure of serving as its editor-in-chief since 1999 (with a 20-year break between 2004 and 2024, when the magazine was no longer being published).

My latest newsletter🇵🇱 is out! This time, a bit more about what’s been amusing me lately than what I’ve been working on. Curious? So, I invite you to read on! Sub: sldz.beehiiv.com/subscribe

More than 30 years since the first publication I was paid for. I was a teenager, I knew jack shit about the trade (today I’ve the feeling I know even less, which is probably healthy), and I had a lot of luck and support 🙏

But at least some basement-dwelling idiot can make porn out of a neighbor’s photo in the morning, and in the evening prompt a racist fake and spread it all over social media. Nothing but fucking wins.

When Scott Adams died, I had no idea what to write. That’s why I thank @comicsjournal.bsky.social and @andrewfarago.bsky.social for this article🙏

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.

Słucham sobie Trójeczki dziś, a tu nagle @sldz.bsky.social nadaje o komiksach... Gratulacje z okazji 30-lecia dzialalności!

Please, let’s take care of our language. Don’t add “human” to “artist”. It should be understood by default. Doing so is ceding ground to AI slop-fckrs and buying into their narrative. Keep your guard up, chooms!

Have you copyrighted your brainrot today?

Confirmed. What’s more, as kids (I have a brother) we’d get attached to the fish, we fed it, petted it, shared our toys with it. And then on December 24th around 2 pm our father would sneak into the bathroom, and a minute later loud chopping with a cleaver could be heard from the kitchen.

Pencil test and final animation: Tokyo Godfathers (2003), dir. Satoshi Kon, Madhouse This sequence by Shinji Otsuka was the first animation test for Tokyo Godfathers, and it served as a reference for the rest of the team

The biggest tabloid in Poland recommends five comics, including our PRODUKT #25, with the headline: “They killed her at a party. She was only a few years old. Five gifts for the curious.” Absolutely ruthless XD

My latest newsletter🇵🇱 is out after a three-month break thanks to a mix of life and work getting in the way. I do a little year-in-review, a little self-promo, and a little reminiscing. It’s been a busy, interesting year. Sub: sldz.beehiiv.com/subscribe

A professional summary of 2025, part 3. ♦️Comics in magazines♦️ [1/3] I continued a 30-year tradition (yup) of publishing comics in video game magazines. Śledziu na zagrychę appeared in every issue of CD-Action. A new series, Chronobibok, was published in the reissues of Secret Service by Retronics.

Wrapped! You can clearly see when I had work and when I didn’t 😎 www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Just when you thought that everything had already been done in pixel-art arcade adventure games…

I bought the Switch on launch day in the spring of 2017 along with Breath of the Wild. I put a solid 60 hours into the game back then, but I didn’t finish it. I came back to it years later and completed the adventure. It’s certainly one of the best I’ve ever played 🥰

Not crying, it’s just dust that got in my eye.

In 20 years, social media and AI will be treated the same way tobacco products are treated today.

@sldz.bsky.social ogromne dzięki za wrys! Dopiero teraz odebrałem od kolegi. Doceniam kangurka, boski ;)
