I'm sure this will finally make him happy

Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Columbo

I guess it's obvious in retrospect but "it's stolen work" was less persuasive in turning public opinion against AI than everybody just seeing a ton of it constantly and getting sick of not being able to trust your eyes. Hey, that works too. Whatever it takes, really.

its absolute bullshit that @bransonreese.bsky.social isnt writing the new Gremlins movie

Carl Harvey - Breezing [Jamaica, Reggae] (1978) Bobby Womack cover https://redd.it/124znfg https://youtu.be/vonmjAmJiGA

No Joe Dante? Then it's not really a Gremlins movie is it?

Cool photo I took a few seconds after waking up when Joe Camel hit me with his car

Computer… enhance…

Spare a thought for centrist dem consultants this morning. They just learned their ideal candidate for the Democratic 2028 presidential ticket has passed away.

If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE

Going back to reread old Swan Boys and it's insane how recently I got a handle on drawing them (some point in the next several months)

It's tough, Mamdani seems like a great guy and inspiring candidate but when you look at the sterling coalition standing against him (Cuomo, Musk, Trump, The NY Post, Dave Portnoy, Bill Ackman, Chuck and Amy Schumer, the little guy from Shark Tank) it's hard to know for certain.

I don’t know what it says that the only forms of art that actually capture what it’s like to have my specific form of anxiety are Swan Boy and Achewood, but I’m sure it’s probably good and a good omen for my future.

Can't believe this is how I found out.

Some Bluesky exclusive fanart

I just laughed at one of these for a good thirty seconds and texted it to my sister, who yelled back from across the apartment, “I knew it was Swan Boy”

This is the future envisioned by the leisure agenda

Don’t let anyone tell you that Branson “can’t keep getting away with this”. He can. He will

It’s truly tragic how many of these US war criminals like Cheney never face justice and die in their peacefully in their homes in their 80s and 90s. I want to be happy he is dead but I am not. The million people he killed didnt get the luxury to die how he did.

The fact that I dress from the waist up like Swanboy and the waist down like Noel is somewhat concerning.

Really moved by this one. They seem so content.

Viva la Swan Boy

Swan Boy is in its Jordan Bulls era. Swan Boy himself is also doing fine

Went back and caught up on a couple of months of Swanboy yesterday. It was a good time

on the topic of dick cheney, one thing i’ve always said is that you shouldn’t kill a million people

re-reading my old webcomic funny online animals (found at funnyonlineanimals.com)

Cassie is an inspiration. The dumb ones pound the hardest, honey.

Idly doodling Swan Man Iscariot-Dandolos in a big heart bubble on my geography textbook to see how it feels

I didn't know @bransonreese.bsky.social ghost-wrote MLB Slugfest

Good for Cassie.

I wish they would do more with The Joker (sort of a dark clown figure for those not in the know)

“Branson Reese does it again,” I declare aloud, each time I finish a Swan Boy strip, as is mandatory

Cassie is the best character

real question is, how is swanboy so lucky as to find a quiznos

swanot.con is what my autocorrect says is the correct address for swanboy.com

sometimes i work a show, and then in the next swan boy he's wearing that band's shirt, which adds a little meta-layer of fun for me. really great comic to read for the t-shirts

On this week’s episode, @bransonreese.bsky.social joins us to pitch a dirtbag found footage remake of Ghostbusters. Hear the whole concept, our thoughts on the existing Ghostbusters canon, and Branson’s strong opinions about leprechauns on YouTube or your favorite podcatcher. youtu.be/te6lHxpaAls

Really crucial strip for Branson to precede with the post clarifying "how animals work" in Swan Boy world.

Cassie being short for Cassiopeia is a great detail. V accurate

I don’t think any comic has ever been better than Swan Boy at small text in newspapers and other documents. Just consistently the best tiny paragraphs in the biz

"Can bulls be critters?" is going to tear families apart.

this one is weapons-grade while high

Now hear this!

Exactly

Love him or hate him you can't deny that this is beautiful, concise prose.

A sober Swanboy warning against the dangers of "hooking up"

the only moral action is to abolish ICE and punish those who are members of ICE

there's all the usual motivations of policy, ideology, and of course class interests, but i still think not enough gets said about how much raw spite factors into dem seniority's behavior
