Great news for Freelancers working in the State of CA! The Freelance Worker Protection Act went into effect January 1, 2025. This law requires freelancers to be paid 30 days after completion of work for any job over $250, & gives them the ability to take legal action against clients who don’t pay.

Going live tonight at 7pm EST with some fellow comic makers from Columbus Cartoon Coalition to talk merch. www.youtube.com/live/6q7vPTK...

"Make More Comics!" It's more than just marching orders. It's a beacon to guide any of us through tough times as makers and cartoonists. So whenever you're in doubt, feel defeated or depressed, remember these words, and carry forward with confidence and positivity. Make More Comics! 📚🎨❤️☮️✨️

It’s easy to forget the unique power of serendipity libraries have. Wander around and take something random home for free! Know what you’re looking for? Often we place a hold on a book or movie online and they’ll email when it’s ready to pick up at the closest branch. It’s easy, free, and rules!

A couple of libraries in my area have some decent comics ranging from manga, graphic novels, comic strips, comic books, etc. So get off your phone or computer and enjoy some actual ink and paper in a nice quiet setting away from home, or check out those books and bring them home to enjoy.

Hey, it's just me posing for a reference in front of my computer camera.

The Clint Eastwood music video is iconic—it helped to turn Gorillaz into a phenomenon. But how was it made?
