Seeing accounts with tens of thousands of followers and hundreds of likes and shares integrity art complain about lack of interaction here has me feeling a type of way 🥲

Maybe planning a little comic that would include a bit about my childhood and did some character thinking yesterday :3

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

Me: Ooh let me use this assignment to really delve into my deepest fears and their sources and make some art about them. Let me also listen to the music i listened to at my worst mh to get into the mood Me also: god i’m randomly getting really axious and I feel bad. Who could have predicted this

Watching a podcast about an ex conservative influencer who has according to her changed her ways and seen how she was wrong. I do fully understand and respect that many people will not ever forgive her or trust her, and that’s fine! However as a movement we need to have space people like her

Number #1626384 unfair things about making comics is how they take forver to draw and approximately 5 minutes to read

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED! It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st! hourlycomicsday.com #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday #hcd

In my experience this is deeply true. A partner with a steady job is also the secret behind many comic careers, including mine. Comics is one of the fields where the workers are highly skilled & specialized snd work insane hours but basically everyone gets paid peanuts. It is ofc deeply unfair
