I hate these people, and I know someone is going to say that we should be trying to reach them, but I am sick of playing along with their bullshit. They knew, they didn't care until it impacted their community.

This advice could apply to authors, write stuff that lots of people want to buy, I bet it makes having this job so much easier

Lettering quietly shapes so much of the reader’s experience in comics & has been a huge component of conveying my own spirit in my work. I’m an Eisner Award nominee for Best Lettering this year— please consider me when you cast your vote. Thanks for reading & spreading the word about FALL THROUGH.

I don’t think many people following me would ever forgive Elon Musk a thing, but this is a good reminder nonetheless that the stories coming out now are as much about rehabbing this guy’s reputation as much as anything else

I’d been trying to drop all other social media and focus on being here, but my comics just don’t connect that well with users on this app, while they still do well on Instagram.

I have always been a big fan of the Silver Surfer so I did this drawing, in two minute increments, while my infant son was sleeping (sometimes in my arms!) over the last week :)

Making comics may be hard. But it’s like how a good video game is hard. You want to do the difficult thing because it’s also fun and satisfying. And the bad thought in your head get louder if you don’t.

This bothered me too. I don't know anything about The Leader the character, except he has a visually distinct elongated cranium. Not whatever forgettable broccoli-head thing they ended up going with in the movie

Possible no greater gap between a thing looking like lighthearted fun and actual reality than what us kids in the 80's thought Saturday Night Fever was all about and what it was actually all about

Referring to the president as the commander in chief has always been insidious but uses like this make clear why it's worse than ever now. The president is the commander in chief of the armed forces and that's it. He has no authority to command private individuals or institutions to do anything.

Experimenting with making folk horror Fuzzy Felt, combining shapes from vintage sets with cutting my own. Only a work in progress & a tentative first attempt but I’m enjoying working out the process & possibilities

Although @slj.com persists in paywalling its censorship articles in the midst of unprecedented censorship, the story is in the chart. One out of every three HS librarians is working under fire. That’s not good for them or the students they serve.
