One of the biggest things we want readers to take away from “Life After Cars” is that learning to *see* cars is step one on the path to realizing a better world.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

That magical moment when you’re drawing and some mentor pops into your head with the same critique as usual and you’re like “fine, JEEZ, I’ll make the silhouette clearer!” and you realize you fixed it and feel kind of proud ☺️

Working at the children’s theater, I enjoyed watching kids learn how to exist in the world: remembering to cover a sneeze, saying thank you at the concessions booth, ordering a ticket to a friend’s show. I want them to have similar stepping stones for getting around the neighborhood/city themselves

happy new year, repent your sins, apologize to people, eat a lot

Anyway, here’s your form of consent, Bluesky.

Anyway. I mostly think apocalypses are where we look for comfort when now becomes too complicated to fully face.

having a bad drawing week so I made a badly drawn comic about it 1/9

Not gay as in happy, but queer as in biking in the rain with your partner to support the new vegan bakery

I’m not home rn otherwise I’d post photos of the Milt Caniff strip I own, which is also covered with whiteout and pencil lines

refuseuline.com for anyone with purchasing power! The Uihleins are simply awful people.

Once again I am asking small business owners, artists and artisans, and anyone else who purchases packaging to do it anywhere but Uline

Things were better when computer was in room. Now everywhere is computer. This is bad. Computer should never have escaped room.

Me, very tired: JAGELS? What newfangled fusion nonsense is that?!

You call it The Photo, I call it “🥹 halfway to Granddad’s house, going to eat some biscuits and look at the gift shop t-shirts with eagles and wolves on them 🥹”

I just Googled Breezewood PA for the hell of it, and that Taco Bell is now called Sultan Kabob Restaurant Breakfast Shop. If that's not a perfect encapsulation of the promise of this country, I don't know what is. maps.app.goo.gl/bLTm5s4yJ4Y7...

The only debate I’m interested in having with the people who think I’m going to burn for eternity is when they come to Pride to protest it and I make out with my hot wife in front of them

The thing about being an artist is that sometimes you’ll have a really silly/cursed image enter your head and spend hours of your life drawing it. Hours you’ll never get back.

as much as I would love to stop here, I really would also love a higher budget to work with.

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

I used to work for a sign company and I know exactly how this happened (barring a malicious prank) Non-designers are obsessed with turning things into other things. “I am a dentist! Make it a tooth but also an apple!” (Red bloody tooth logo! Yes, it’s real) “MAKE THE E BREAD!” they screamed

you know what, in the spirit of this, just throwing this out there: are there any people who know detailed history of the secularization of the Teutonic Order-State under Albert, Duke of Prussia? I need it for a half-written fantasy book.

*facepalm* As a general rule of life, never say to any author “I wouldn’t expect a [genre] author to know anything about [topic.]” You will, without fail, discover that a statistically improbably number of people in that genre grew up there/did their thesis on it/have one in their lap.
