Enjoying this dive into YouTube and Substack Videos - along with the usual Instant Ink Comic Book Podcast. If one thing is clear: I own a lot of hats.

A reminder that I'll be at BOOTH E1 with a bunch of my comic book friends at #WOTS2025 this weekend! It's my first @torontowots and I'd love it if you'd #MeetMeAtWOTS!

Call it a stretch, but I think this is a great example of why Pulp does so well. People want new and different - but they want it WITHIN the comfortable and expected. Learn to be unique while colouring inside the lines and you're golden.

"Mind if I borrow this?" Find out what she's planning on doing with it in the pages of Naked Kaiju Woman 2.

Had a lot of fun doing this episode of the Instant Ink podcast! We had a really good conversation with fun tangents that got surprisingly deep at times. Check it out!

A rare three-part interview for the latest episode of the Instant Ink Comic Book Podcast with guest, @yrliu.bsky.social You can watch Part One today! youtu.be/ETH11RR5XMo?...

We've got options for every type of reader. Are you a collector? A digital hoarder? A regular fan? We've got you covered - but only until October 3rd.

I'll be at Word on the Street this weekend!

A new episode of the Instant Ink Comic Book Podcast is live!: True Friendship The Stars | Part 1 of 3 | Y. R. Liu - Episode 064

I just backed ATRIUM Vol 1. Graphic Novel on @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

Taking a break from writing, selling or thinking about comics is pivotal to your success in comics. You need to recharge. It'll make the work better when you get back to it.

What happened here?! Only one way to find out. Back Naked Kaiju Woman 2 on Kickstarter today.

The ability to focus, without distraction, is what makes places like the movie theatre special. It's never the same experience watching a film at home where I can stop it or never really focus on the screen 100%.

Don't bother Claire before she's had her coffee. Especially if you haven't backed the campaign yet! Naked Kaiju Woman is on Kickstarter until October 3rd.

How?!

NKW2 is live on Kickstarter until October 3rd!

Are you new to Pesto Comics? Don't have room in your home for even more floppies? We've got you covered. Get the entire Pesto Comics collection in one digital bundle. Just $54 CAD / $39 USD for 9 comics! That's 264 pages of top-tier indie comic content!

I double-booked myself for this premiere at TIFF this year. I was looking forward to it, but was trying to escape Rogers Stadium post-System of a Down concert. Looks like I missed a good one. www.comicsbeat.com/obsession-re...

"Comics need to stop rebooting and launching number 1s." We're not doing a good job of proving otherwise. Oh, and you can add blind bags along with variant covers to those grievances now too. www.comicsbeat.com/batman-1-sel...

Someone is angry. (No spoilers.) Find out who in the pages of Naked Kaiju Woman 2.

Already a success, let's see how much higher we can push this campaign!!

I've been to a few concerts this year. As summer winds down, I've decided to use the excuse to experiment with YouTube! youtu.be/8R7-Q6Q9Uno?...

It's NCBD! Why not support some indie comics? It takes a village - or a team of artists in this case. Inks by Rafael Chrestani, colours by JP Jordan and letters by yours truly.

I've officially become the oldest of old men. This upsets me more than it should. The iPod was cool for its time - because we were lugging around CDs before that! It's not "retro" or better in any way. Your phone already does this. Damn kids!

Naked Kaiju Woman 2 continues to reach for the sky on Kickstarter! We're halfway through the campaign. There's still time for you to join the party! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pes...

Get the excellent main cover by interior art duo Rafael Chrestani and JP Jordan. Just $12 CAD / $9 USD. Don't miss out. It'd be a big mistake. Big. Huge. (High five to those of you who reply with the right gif.)

Hear the history of Pesto Comics on Graphic Novel Apostle! Find it on all your favourite podcast services!

The latest episode (63) of the Instant Ink Podcast is LIVE! Join our fun conversation with Luke Kerr on wherever you watch or listen to podcasts.

Look up "survivorship bias".

This is a big example of those in charge not reading the tea leaves. It's now obvious that digital cameras would overtake disposables, but the dark side of this is it's being used for everything. You don't want to miss the boat on AI, blockchain, crypto...or whatever the snake oil of the day is.

You don't want to get on Claire's bad side - no matter how big you are.

Two interesting points here: 1. Of course news sites would be livid about this. The AI summary has some problems, but 90% of the time, it does the trick. I'm not clicking through nearly as much. 2. Substack stays resilient. It's a different market as readers want real depth.

You haven't backed yet? You don't want to disappointe Claire, do you?

I'm toying with video posts in my Substack (and cross-posting on YouTube!) This week, I keep the test between the paid subscribers but I'll have a free video for Wednesday!

Are you new to Naked Kaiju Woman but want to get caught up properly? We've got great bundles that include every Naked Kaiju Woman cover for just $67 CAD / $49 USD. Collect them all on Kickstarter today.

Magic hour! 🌟 #caturday

I'm trying something new - and paid subscribers get the first full taste of it. My newsletter is still on Substack, but I'm posting video on YouTube along with it! youtu.be/5MgdsP2cEvw?...

Sometimes nothing can beat the view of a beautiful sunset... ...but not always. Get this gorgeous variant cover by the wonderful Italian artist, Riccardo Faccini, on Kickstarter while it lasts.

I'm into this if only to see it in IMAX. (If you haven't been reading the manga, it's also been top-class of late.) youtu.be/EPaoHkV0dYw

The only, ONLY reason anyone cheered Ellison's purchase of Paramount on was to save a legacy studio. Now he's going to gobble up one of the most historic ones anyway. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

If the fact that "it's sunny outside" is enough for people to turn their backs on AI, maybe we shouldn't be betting all our chips on it.

This is bad. Way too frothy.

I'd honestly watch Lily James read the phone book - and pay handsomely to do so. That said, these tech stories are all starting to look the same. So many over the past few years. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Something has to give, right? I haven't been to a UFC event in nearly a decade. I'd watch every GSP fight in person in Montreal or every WWE event with Edge headlining around Toronto, but now I'd need a mortgage to do the same. whatculture.com/wwe/wwe-tick...

Don't want to worry about tariffs or shipping in general? We got you. Get a copy of Naked Kaiju Woman 2 in a beautiful hi-res, DRM-free format. Just $8 CAD / $5.50 USD for 32 action-packed naked kaiju pages.

I'm sorry, what?

When you make Quibi sound like the better investment in the room. I'll repeat this until I no long have to -- I cannot be bothered to spend my infinitely more valuable time listening to something you couldn't be bothered to create.

If you listen to an AI generated podcast don't ever speak to me again.

Someone got on Claire's bad side. Don't let it be you. Check out Naked Kaiju Woman 2 on Kickstarter while you still can!
