Outcry grows after multiple trans users were targeted for mild criticisms of the anti-trans billionaire.

It’s confusing that the phrases bringing home the bacon and makin’ bacon don’t mean the same thing

I’ve applied to Short Run every year for the last 15 years and never got in. What’s the secret? And please don’t say “make better Comics” cause that’s just mean.

The protagonist’s mom always being dead feels like the “family movie” version of women in refrigerators

I’ll watch anything with a xenomorph in it but something is missing from the new Alien series and I can’t put my finger on it. Gravitas? Dread? Suspense?

Work in progress from @fieldmouse.press and @forever4pm.bsky.social, Matt MacFarland, Valentine Gallardo, and Stacey Zhu 👀

This concept might actually be more interesting than 80% of the actual art I see in galleries. #okcryptid

You’d think I would know better. 🤣 #dontskiinspring

Hey everyone! Every Tuesday from 7/8/25 to 7/29/25 (from 6 - 8 PM EST), I'm once again going to teach my From Drawing Board To Pitching Class as part of SAW! You can take individual weeks or all four weeks--they are modular. www.sequentialartistsworkshop.org/blog/2024/4/...

Sad sack dad attack! #dontskiinspring

Prologue to the new comic #dontskiinspring

I hate the ai celebrities as babies trend but I’m more upset bc Athena and i had an idea for a show called “Babytown” in which real babies would be dressed as business men and women and work in an office building and we didn’t capitalize!!

I like getting older bc it means saying no to more and more things you would have said yes to when younger and regretted later. Which is to say I really like saying no to things.

drawing this art gallery scene in #okcryptid is mildly cathartic

I like going to h mart bc it’s like going to an aquarium except most of the fish are dead

S/O out to whoever that is that made the racist comic. The memes and comics dunking on you have made my morning.

What?! Am i not supposed to put my life at risk to see who drives the #milfmobile ?!?!

Playing around with a potential cover for my next comic. It will be an autobiographical account of my family’s snow trip to Big Bear in March. It was comically disastrous, and is still too raw for me to start in earnest, but soon…after we all have recovered physically and mentally!

Dang! These are great! Even the "bowl full of mush" is on a stamp!

I wish I could be as proud of myself when I finish a task as my stupid washing machine with its triumphant little jingle whenever a load is done

One of the excellent cartoonists @fieldmousepress.bsky.social is working with for our Summer 2025 Season, Mara Ramirez, is running a GoFundMe to help afford gender affirming healthcare. If you'd like to help, please donate or share --- www.gofundme.com/f/help-mara-... @forever4pm.bsky.social

Pope-eye??

How am I supposed to care about the Pope being from Chicago when I just found out Popeye’s Chicken is named not after the eponymous sailor man, but Gene Hackman’s character from The French Connection?!?

Both volumes of #mytroubleswithcrumb still available on my website www.mattiemac.com

Matt Groening holding up my books #mytroubleswithcrumb to Art Spiegelman at the Crumb event last night. I missed it, unfortunately, but my friend and fellow cartoonist Sam Grinberg captured the moment. Crumb was a no-show because of course he was!
