This has been super fun, you should try it tbh

I had this on my drafts since December, but I finally got to sit down and finish... ✨ the yearly planner post ✨

Happy #hourlycomicday2026 Feat. @letsgorodrigo.bsky.social @kurisquare.bsky.social and yaoi #hourlycomicday

I guess it’s #Hourlycomicday2026 again!!! 12:00 am and it’s too late for me to be up. That’s crazy @nuditosciegos.bsky.social and @kurisquare.bsky.social are there to keep the fomo machine running, tho

I bought a physical sketchbook for the first time this decade and I have some feelings about it #HourlyComicDay #HCD #Hourlies

LET’S DO THIS GAMERS 🗣️🗣️🗣️ (feat. @letsgorodrigo.bsky.social & @nuditosciegos.bsky.social) #hourlycomicsday2026 #hourlycomicday2026

Coming back from a short (but much needed) vacation, where I got to rest and read and draw~ ✏️✨

Saw a movie at the planetarium today (where, granted, a rogue AI tries to take over the ship and let one of the crewmembers die) and one of my students was like “don’t trust AI! don’t let ChatGPT do your homework” YEAH YEAH YEAH THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️

I do have one (1) thing to say about Hourly Comic Day, though, now that we’re talking about it: 😔🙏 please don’t turn it into an inktober situation

Just a minor annoyance in the grand scheme of things, but damn

Sure, see you all on the 8th 👋

Incidentally, for 2024’s Hourly Comics Day, I started to make a comic about the history of Simone and Hourly Comics Day. But (ha ha) you know how it is with HCD sometimes — it gets away from you. Here’s as much as I made.

I seriously do think that the HCD history is important.

I only look smug here because I had travel insurance, otherwise I’d be pulling my hair out lmao

“last fall I had this idea for a zine about Dilbert quitting his job and trying to learn to be happy and coming to terms with the fact that he’s trans actually” (posted 4/18/2022)

oh you have a “journal ecosystem”? what’s your journal food chain? who’s your journal apex predator?

Just having a normal time in the year 2025

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

It’s called “having range”, look it up

A little comic I made while we were in Toronto earlier this month…getting angry about trees!!!!!

Looking at the Shortbox fair on the very last day just for the thrill of it (it’s because I forgot to see it sooner)

I kinda hate when people say “consuming media” instead of “reading books” or “listening to music”…what is Up with That

20.10.25. 47 years… unbelievable

You’re telling me even MS PAINT has an AI image generator????? MS PAINT??????????????

nothing chatgpt has done is as impressive as akinator, the mind-reading internet genie from 2007

THERE HE IS…heheheh…..

Every year I forget I share a birthday with this gem and every year I’m happily surprised when I find out

Listened to Chill Lounge Sk8er Boi AND Chill Lounge Seven Nation Army in physical therapy today…getting the full “millenial in their 30s” experience…

Nothing makes me immediately want to touch grass like thinking about Eddington (2025). An incredible movie tbh

Pride and Prejudice (2005)

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

Some of the initial sketches for the cover of our new book, THE DO-OVER: FRIENDSHIP GOALS! (plus some unrelated comic thumbnails)

Did you know each Voyager probe has a Golden Record filled with images and audio meant to represent life and culture on Earth? Did you know one of those pictures is this ABSOLUTELY BONKERS image called "demonstration of licking, eating and drinking"??? like??? have you looked at this???

Can you believe we're less than 2 months away from our new book coming out?? crazy if true* (*it is true)

I'm a couple days late, but lettering is super important for a comic so you bet I ✨ APPRECIATE IT!!! ✨ Shoutout to Cindy who's done a great job lettering our books! (I only know how to letter by hand, so she technically saved my hand from disintegrating lol)

I made a short comic about my 32nd birthday... it took me 10 months to finish it, despite being only four pages, but it is done! You can find it on my blog: blog.kurisquare.com/thirty-two/

I just finished Woodworking by Emily St. James this morning and DAMN, I haven't been this hooked to a novel in YEARS...!!!

I'm suffering here, dudes!!!!!!!

We didn’t even finish our garlic bread! It was THAT bad!!

what do you mean 'normal tools'?

Y’all really think I’d miss out on #makeaterriblecomicday2025?? WELL THINK AGAIN!!!!!!!

I keep seeing people sharing posts about the study that use…the exact same words that the authors of the study asked not to use 🥲

In other news, this is out and I have a comic (written by @davescheidt.com) on it! ✨

(I’m taking a postgraduate diploma for science communication, I can ramble about media exaggerating research results…as a treat….!!!)

Just saw a post about how “research finds out that ChatGPT drops brain connectivity by 47%!” and I sure love to see studies about the effects of relying on LLMs for cognitive tasks, buuuuut… keep in mind that the study is still not peer-reviewed, so it’s just a preliminary result ☝️🤓

make something terrible!

My prediction for today: there’s gonna be a GTA-style videogame in the John Wick Universe sometime in the next 5 years

No Harry Potter, not ever
