The Trump admin is trying to shock us with (admittedly terrifying) images of militarized federal agents rolling through the downtown of a "sanctuary city" kidnapping people. But there are other images coming out of Chicago, too, like this one of communities rallying to defend day laborers this am.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Good night

The trick I subscribe to as a Very Freelance Artist who craves “time to work on different things” while finding a lack of a clear project paralyzing, is to start something and leave it for the next day. It’s easier to get moving on something if it’s begun, and if nothing else I’ll get one thing done

God I envy them so much

Mad because cleaning my office did in fact improve my mental state

Halloween 3 is so weird and disturbing, it doesn’t deserve to be as overlooked as it is, but there’s perhaps no greater gap between the VHS art (a split-second still shot from a montage that has almost nothing to do with the movie) and the story itself

I do my best to avoid looking at legacy media, but I guarantee this story is getting framed as Trump’s effort to “crack down on crime” rather than what it is, his horny Hostel movie fantasies, where he’s so rich and powerful he can brutalize and ravage whole cities (and all of the US also)

My campaign to raise $ to pay for the production of specialized 'zine storage boxes has hit its funding goal, so I'm now working on getting a prototype made. I think it should all work out pretty good, and am enjoying being back in the part of the project where I think about art and design and stuff

I dislike the whole “and you’re SURPRISED?!” bullshit whenever anyone expresses alarm at a news event because the people posting it act like they’re wise sages for democracy but are basically doing the work of evil people because there’s nothing evil people want more than for evil to become routine

Taskmaster shouldn't be a supervillain. He could make millions doing dance videos on YouTube.

This feels like an issue that we all know the answer to--pocket computers filled with addictive apps specifically made to steal as much of your time as possible by the richest companies in human history--but everyone bends into pretzels to avoid admitting

Got myself some new books from the library. Looking at them I’m thinking I’m far more likely to make it though one than I am the other

The last X-Men story was Age of Apocalypse, there hasn’t been a new one since then

I couldn’t be more excited to be moderating a panel for the 1st time at Philly Comics Expo next weekend!! IT’S ALWAYS HALLOWEEN SOMEWHERE: A horror panel with Tia Roxae, Gabriel Mason Howell and Quinn Milton, moderated by Corinne Halbert will be at 12:00pm on Sat, Oct 4th. Hope to see ya there! 🖤🦇🎃

Grease is one of the best movies ever made. I love how there isn't a single parent present. I love how it's theoretically set in the Midwest, but is obviously California, while all these greasers talk like guys from Bushwick, and also are all about 40 years old

I didn’t promote it a lot this month because I’ve been so focused on banging the drum about my Kickstarter, but I do still mail a minicomic out to Patreon members every single month and September was no exception www.patreon.com/posts/139559...

Cleaning out my office, came across one of my favorite drawings from a cartooning workshop, one of the few times I worked with senior citizens, I was having the participants all draw cats, and one of the ladies inadvertently drew a self-portrait instead

I haven't mentioned it much but the WTF is a Podcast Kickstarter is teetering on $200k www.kickstarter.com/projects/z2c...

“The Chamber”, maybe the pettiest comic I ever made

The most exotic reward tier I’m offering www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

There's only one person would've pronounced it correctly

i love making comics for kids but genuinely hate how the tagline "great for reluctant readers" gets applied as though it's some consolation prize for kids who feel dumb & not an actual art form to be appreciated in & of itself

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I create a new minicomic every month that I send to folks on Patreon. In addition to the print memberships, I offer much less expensive digital subscriptions. The link to download my most recent effort can be found here www.patreon.com/posts/septem...

This reminds me of my favorite Noah Baumbach movie, Marriage Story

I still have dreams

My old pal @mikedawson.bsky.social has a kickstarter for a ZINE BOX! It looks amazing! And it fits 20+ year old Manley Comics in it, in case you have some of those laying around. kck.st/42yOyS4

NEXT MONDAY! I will be starting a new comic strip next Monday. Every Monday there will be a new strip. I will continue to post Manley Fun art on Wednesdays (but from this point on you will have to join my patreon at the $3 or $5 level to see them) and for patrons I will post Monday's strip in color.

I hit my funding goal. I'm going to make these 'Zine Storage Boxes! www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

The Kimmel thing is a victory. The Trumpists wanted to cross a big line and they appear to have been pushed back. We don't need to sneer at it and whatabout all the other broken guardrails and destruction. We know. Nobody thinks whether the Jimmy Kimmel show airs or not is the only problem facing us

Self-Publishing is a power. It's a gift. www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

damn so sad. was a fan of Elijah’s work. he was a kind hard working cartoonist and died on his 50th birthday.

Sending out my September minicomics, excited that I got those Chris Wate stamps to use this month www.patreon.com/posts/139559...

Just backed this www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

Today, the president of the United States of America said that the country's current pediatric vaccine schedule was "too much liquid... going into that baby" and then issued a decree announcing that anti-fascism is terrorism

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Everybody just arriving home from SPX and CXC with great big stacks of fresh new self-published comics, check out this Kickstarter I just launched to create a Storage Box specifically designed to hold all your digest-sized DIY 'zines www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

The true test is going to be whether or not he apologizes

"Just keeps spreading, doesn't it?"

I felt extremely nervous and anxious about launching this, but I’m closing in on 50% funded already and am feeling all the good feels

Unless the Mandalorian specifically makes the mighty decision to not instantly fold and instead stand up against the FCC Chairman, I'm not seeing that movie

Morning routine

My plan was to launch this tomorrow, but I’m told there’s a Rapture coming so maybe I should make it go live today?

It occurs to me that many of us now are operating simultaneously in three temporal spaces. The first two are the day-to-day time (business as usual) and planetary time (impending doom) I mentioned here. The third is political time between them, where we sense a more immediate threat of rupture.
