Without Noel Sickles, there's no Milt Caniff, no Alex Toth, no Frank Robbins. He's the source for a huge slice of how comics are drawn.

This! About once every decade some comics publisher gets the brilliant idea that they can hack success by hiring bestselling prose authors to write graphic novels. Spoiler: for 9 out of 10 books this makes a really mediocre graphic novel that does not sell well! (1/2)

Onko täkäläinen uutismedia onnistunut kertomaan, millaista yhteiskuntaa murhattu C. Kirk oli rakentamassa, kysyy Mediaproffan 60 sekuntia. Muistakaa myös tarkkailla krokotiilinkyyneleitä valuttavia poliitiikkoja.😅 #mediakritiikki

I already said it, but I will say it again - we need better MODERATION tools, not censorship guidelines. Automod is still incorrectly flagging art as explicit content when too much skin is showing or it represents LGBTQ+ community. We should be given more labels to what we post, not this.

Extremely belatedly letting everyone know I am selling my wares at @helsinkizinefest.bsky.social today

Ruotsalainen keskustapuolueen europarlamentaarikko. Samassa parlamenttiryhmässä kuin Suomen keskusta ja RKP. Kunpa meikäläisiltäkin vastaavilta kuulisi näin hyvää tykitystä naisten oikeuksilla ratsastavasta äärioikeistosta.

"Haluan demokratisoida talouskeskustelun. Jos kaikki eivät osallistu talouskeskusteluun, emme oikeastaan keskustele siitä, miltä yhteiskunta näyttää", sanoo Emma Holten. Samaa sanoo @annimarttinen.bsky.social. Nykyinen järjestelmä ei ole luonnonlaki, ja voimme rakentaa sen toisin.

I'm so proud and happy with this cover, and also I CANNOT WAIT till everyone gets to read this book because it rules so hard. The reason I'm the cover artist in the first place is because I got to read this book and liked it so much I demanded I get to draw a cover for it. It is that good!

Hades has had an awful and ongoing medical situation and could use some help. Sending so much love and hoping for some concrete solutions soon! 💜

you can vote in the ignatz awards until this friday... should you like to vote for my comic "home by the rotting sea" in the outstanding online comic category!!

As I was making this there was update on the thing by Orpo: ‘’ The recent speeches by the Finns Party leadership and the language they use must be discussed in the government. The budget debate will not end until the matter has been discussed together.’’ 1/2

- Haluan tuhota koko Yleisradion - suomalaisten luottamat uutiset, sadat kotimaiset kulttuurituotannot, suositun YLE Areenan, suomalaista kulttuuria tallentavan Elävän arkiston - kaiken!! - Oho, oho, miksi? - No kun siellä sanottiin meidän kansanedustajalle että älä ole noin rasisti telkkarissa!!!

My new cover for the Finnish Tähtivaeltaja magazine is out this week! Bikers beware! 🚵

Israel on tappanut kahdessa vuodessa enemmän sotareporttereita kuin toinen maailmansota. Se on täysin tarkoituksellista mutta miksi Israel tappaa reporttereita? Jotta kansanmurhalla olisi vähemmän silminnäkijöitä. www.hs.fi/maailma/art-...

Jos bussit on niin täysiä, ettei niihin mahdu halukkaat kyytiin niin silloin lisätään bussivuoroja eikä makseta kaikkien taksimaksuja kunhan maksavat itse matkasta bussilipun hinnan. Miksi terveydenhuollossa hallitus ajattelee, että on halvempaa maksaa Pörriäiselle kun julkiselle?

A comic about making comics (the alt text took longer to write than the comic did to draw * I drew this a few years ago)

En hirveän paljon arvosta sitä, että Sisä-Suomen poliisilaitos esittää tiedotteessaan vääriä väitteitä. HS ei Elokapina-jutussaan perustanut "väitteitä nimettömänä esiintyvien henkilöiden kertomuksiin". Tiedot perustuivat poliisin omiin asiakirjoihin ja käräjäoikeuden päätöksiin. ->

Ei tarvii saatana itse keksiä edes mitään sketsejä konsulteista, ku ne tekee sen jumalauta itse

Mainstream body politics rn are soooooo bad. Just saw a short video of someone complaining about having a ”wide ribcage” great. Awesome way to spend your time and mental energy on something that is not a problem that you can’t do anything about. This is so good for all of us

The news regarding the genocide in Gaza is horrific, but news regarding the genocide in Sudan is nonexistent--and that is terrifying. Because the UAE gets to operate completely under the cover of darkness. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/w...

i'm going to keep making adult art and so should you. humans have been recreating sacred glimpses of sucking and fucking ever since we had enough hand dexterity to hold tools, and these rat kings of capitalism are at best a few centuries old. don't be scared, art and our humanity will outlive them

the guidelines are coming from the banks and are identical with the ones given to patreon, steam, fansly etc. i don't blame itch for this, and i don't want my comments flooded with bloodlust about how itch should've fallen on the sword instead of complying, but i do want you to know & take action

home by the rotting sea is deindexed & now in breach of the updated guidelines of itch, not because it's porn (though my porn comics are flagged also), but because the story explores sexual assault. you should care about porn as well, of course, but we intuitively get the flagrant wrongness of this

This isn't just affecting games hosted on itchio... Comics, books, zones, etc with these tags are also no longer searchable. This is going to impact indie scenes across the board if not challenged!

you can read the whole of this absolutly sumptuously illustrated book over on the Internet Archive. GOD those battle spreads 👌👌👌 archive.org/details/jean...

embarrassing myself

Whenever I hear comic creators talk about what an ‘honor’ it is to work on this character or that IP, this sort of quote is what my mind flashes to. These publishers want you to think that it’s an honor to compromise your work and get screwed over. Don’t buy into that.

An alert to all creatives using #WeTransfer. Basically, stop immediately! As of August, they will begin scraping everything you send for AI purposes (see the new paragraph in their Terms and Conditions below). If, like me, you’re a voice artist, they’ll clone your voice. Avoid at all costs.

Wetransfer can go get fucked

My hottest buffyverse take is that angel/cordelia in angel the TV series was miles better than buffy/angel ever was

This is a horror.

am i doing this trope sheet thing right? cover art by @tuiskuh.bsky.social

I have a guest illustration in this upcoming book by Hari! You should check it out if you're into any of the deets mentioned below - it was an honor to get to illustrate one of the more sinister sexy endings for the branching paths. 👀🖤

final day of the sale :]
