Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

'testosterone and the bible are the new punk rock' kinda shit your youth pastor tells you while sitting backwards on a folding chair two weeks before getting shuffled off to another ministry because a 16 year old girl tempted him into the sin of lust

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to show up in full combat gear on a hot summer day to the pool he filled with algae because he gave a paint job to one of his cigar puffing cronies. you are ordered to stop tourists from touching the green water. good luck soldier

if you cowardly try to sacrifice your friend, NPS will simply send a second bear

At what age is it appropriate to tell a child that the federal government is working toward eradicating the type of person one of her mommies is

Everything happens for a reason. Usually not goat-related. But sometimes? Goat-related

No. You can't change the type font. Should be a felony

Queer achievement unlocked: at Brown Elephant, someone hot asked if I worked there.

Free comics alert! Come see me and get my new bottled mini-comic, Bitter Pill, too, for Free Comic Book Day at @howlingpages.bsky.social til 4ish. There's a slew of free comics from all the big publishers!Bonus: we're right down the street from @cakechicago.bsky.social! Make a day of it! 👋

Personally I would consider whether repeated and constant exposure to a disease known to cause brain damage and cognitive/concentration difficulties might be, you know, doing those things.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

it’s all happening

Seeing an upsetting art film with a bag full of isopods is maybe one of the more on brand things I've done lately.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

deciding on what to work on for next month

The University of Arkansas's law school just withdrew the appointment of its new dean six days after hiring her because conservative politicians complained that she filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in support of transgender students

We're so tired but we do really like da movies

Oh hell yeah, imagine my delight when seeing that one of my fav new podcasts @daniellamazzio.bsky.social’s Michael Shannon themed “Hand Me The Mike” has a new episode today, but also my wonderful friend @soberrabbit.bsky.social is the guest! Go check that out where you listen to such things!

You, a dangerous radical: We have to change the system so cartoon villains can't wreck the country again Me, a wise pragmatist: What if we simply rebranded the system? Welcome to America Premium+

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

eventually you learn that you get better at drawing not by learning how to draw the head at a weird angle but by learning how to work around ever having to draw the head at that angle

what's my dream job? it's gotta be delivering strategic communications through multiple channels.

I’ve seen several Godzilla flicks in the theater over the past few years and you can feel, viscerally, that we are all praying for Godzilla to rise from the sea and give us what we deserve

Did two pleasant hangs with artists tonight and mostly what we wound up talking about was chronic illness, lack of access to healthcare, low wages and lack of benefits at our jobs. After a rainy day of schlepping rainily, I took a car home and the driver and I got to talking about -- wait for it --

Good morning🖤

Sometimes you win cool things from being a tremendous nerd on @letterboxd.social. Thanks, Letterboxd and Mubi! Go see The Mastermind and any Kelly Reichardt movie, really.

This is fucked

I don't post on here as much because I'm struggling to stay afloat but here, it's dangerous out there. Take these:

Perhaps Billy Corgan, Vince Vaughn, and Jeremy Piven could broker a call to get ICE out of Chicago.

A friend recently told me that they didn’t think ICE would deploy tear gas in well to do neighborhoods with a high density of white people. I understood their thinking, but disagreed. Today, they gassed Lakeview. Nothing is off limits to these people.

That Platner guy and his campaign feels designed to make me feel insane. So it's like absolutely everything else

funniest thing about this crew is that they claim membership in an elite group of sage truthtellers with superior bullshit detectors who are now pretending to be shocked that history's most infamous liar tricked them into campaigning for him

Oh well, maybe their horrific schemes won’t work

Great news! JSTOR now have a free account with an Independent Researcher category. You can access 100 documents per month www.jstor.org/action/showL...

RFK Jr: The cure for sodomy is quite simple: exercise and organic foods. Our conversion camps have a 100% success rate. Hakeem Jeffries: More lies from the ruckus boys. You had to cook the books to get that number.

Little Free Anti-ICE Libraries: yesterday multiple people were abducted by ICE in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). This morning I added 40 ICE alert whistles to three different LFLs, including one box that is about a block from one of the kidnappings. I have ordered 700 whistles.

All of these people could ride the convention circuit gravy train forever due to their previous projects. Not one of them is in an "I need to pay my mortgage" situation. Nobody is hard up here. This is really disappointing.

How embarrassing to work for the organized kidnapping ring known as "ICE." Rolling out of bed every day to be a brainless goon. You are lower than a worm to me

Hey @cta, a 54 Cicero North bus driver told me Grace isnt a stop anymore. I told her that's cool but if "Grace" shows on the bus screen when I take said bus, simply taking the street sign down isn't the best way to let people know. It *had* been a stop for four years.

Let's not forget that this all started when The IT Crowd had an episode in which one of the characters physically assaulted a trans woman, and the trans community said "dude what the fuck" which was, apparently, a bridge too far.

As a sick person, I would like to be perceived less by RFK Jr and the MAHA movement. Never did I think I would be more unhappy with chronic illness becoming more of a topic of conversation.

R.I.P. Scott Thompson! Loved Buddy Cole. Liked Hannibal! Ah well, we're all mortal I guess!

Teaching my haters the true meaning of compassion, which they hate

This this THIS. People think they've gotten away without long-term impacts, but - 5 years later - we are seeing noticeable patterns showing up already. As this continues, we're going to find out what 8, 12, 15 infections looks like. And it will be an immense butcher's bill. Please, please MASK UP.

Thanks so much, Gene! Hope your events have been going well this summer! I'll have this back in stock at Howling, along with a new comic, later this week! 🐰✨
