Query: How many of you feel like you've spent more time caring for your parents as they aged than they spent caring for you?

Our country is in the state it is at least partly because the Silent & Boomer generations lived longer than anyone expected having learned nothing about how their own bodies work and how to stay healthy

Once again: I need an irl assistant. Someone to help with mailings, good with online, reasonably enthusiastic about my work and can collaborate a bit with me maybe? One or two days a week. Knowledge of comics/graphics stuff a plus. DM or email if interested

I *desperately* need an assistant. Someone to help with mailings, good with online, reasonably enthusiastic about my work and can collaborate a bit with me maybe? One or two days a week. Please DM or email if interested. Familiarity with the comics/graphics world is a big plus.

What Trump is doing is not normal. Let that sink in. It is not normal.

I’m canvassing for Curtis Sliwa. Not emphasizing his policy proposals so much as the fact that he says he’ll fill Gracie Mansion with 60 cats. The whole place’ll smell bad, there’ll be hair on everything, all furniture clawed, massive staff turnover.

So Bluesky is doing the "election was stolen" routine again?!? Good, that's just what America needs.

Patreon completely lost my money this month. They're "investigating" how it happened! What are some good alternatives to Patreon, since it seems like they can't do their ONE JOB....?

I’m just going to ask. Any of you have a pdf of Eugene Viollet Le Duc’s Le Costume Medieval?

Just looked up the Dell Dude and he's an Instagram businessfluencer now. I once saw him in a comedy show with Kate Beaton, very memorable experience

This is really strong and provocative from Derek, as always. Coincides (unsurprisingly) with a lot I've been thinking about, how a career in comics is really an impossibility now for all but a few, and how the things that made life as an artist possible have all been eroded in this century.

Some of the crazy comments on Alex Graham's strip were like "a rising tide lifts all boats!" and "we support each other, there's room for everyone!" Very obviously untrue; "comics" is a shrinking liferaft, that's why the fighting is so nasty.

I love the art form of comics, but the “comics world” is extremely toxic, and it’s quite obvious there’s no place in it for me or a lot of other artists who have spent their lives making comics.

Get it straight, assholes- the Bride of Frankenstein is properly named Doctor Frankenstein's Monster Bride of Doctor Frankenstein's Monster. Memorize that. Show some respect

Someone draw St. Peter shouting "Norm!"

Finally, comics are for everybody.

I feel like, when I was younger, people wanted to seem interesting. Now it seems most people just want to appear normal

This was June 2022. How could anyone say this guy was “too old” to run again in 2024?

Scorsese has posted his review of Marvel's "Thunderbolts," and it is devastating

Oh also- I think the aesthetic backlash against CGI will retroactively make a lot of poorer-quality* CGI no longer acceptable. *which is nearly all of it

I don't actually find the "AI art versus hand-made-art" debate to be interesting at all. The thing is, the more defined and refined the AI "look" becomes, the more aesthetically limited it is, and the faster the eye loses interest in it. People get tired of a "look."

Trying to explain to my son how magical the original snossages commercial was

That's crazy. How could he do anything after eating that much

John Cage always performed behind bars in a bathroom. "I'm John Cage in the John Cage! Hyeeauggh!!" he would shout

Whenever I talk to people who don't make comics but like them, they immediately want to tell me about the famous comics people they've recently seen, maybe getting awards, on a high-profile panel, discussing their newest book etc. and I'm always like WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME.

It's me
