The moment where I knew I was absolutely addicted to your art and also the moment where I had to stop reading for a while because I first came across it in my "deny everything that gives you gender-envy" phase.

I kinda want the symbol tattooed on my back and I don't have tattoos.

Kimiko Ross's back from the early pages of Dresden Codak, revealing cyborg skin patches and a mysterious symbol and just looking like whoever drew it was super gay for ladies and also you the viewer are maybe super gay for ladies and if you didn't know you were a lady that might be surprising

Your results may vary, can only describe from my pov

Lantern season as this is such a great idea for showing how memories hang off things, and I shout about Owlamoo compulsively perhaps once a month

Snippet from https://dresdencodak.com/2009/12/16/lantern-season/, in which Kim scowls at a little owl-boy-puppet as threads of memories rise into small bubbles of disjointed remembrances

Kingdom of the Last. In addition to the great art style, I enjoyed the message. The constant worry to be original has paralysed me more than once.

I used to be of the mind that any manner of story could swap mediums with acceptable fidelity. This page challenged that notion expertly. An artist's chosen method of expression had never struck me as so irreplaceable, so full of purpose, before, and I can so often recognize that, now.

Also, Kim. 💪🏻

Dark Science 143. It just FEELS so good. So wonderfully dynamic. And so KISS ALREADY YOU DORKS which tbf they did not too long afterwards so I didn't have to barge into a neighboring layer of reality to smack Kim with a steel chair.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Real. I've had the Super Mario Bros. 2 theme stuck in my head for 20 years.

"Sure, we're polite in professional spaces, but in private it's natural to gossip or talk shit about people."

Actually in private I don't worry about people who bother me because I'm mostly thinking about the soundtrack to Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcades Revenge for the SNES.

We got Vincent Price, but neither Peter Cushing nor Ingrid Pitt were ever on The Muppet Show because I'm apparently not allowed to die of joy.

Seriously if you like lesbian vampires do not sleep on this movie. Ingrid Pitt is in full force and it's magnificent

Sen ⚢ @dresdencodak.com · 1d

My all-time favorite Hammer horror film is definitely The Vampire Lovers. It's a big, schlocky, gay-ass adaptation of Carmilla that's got all the lesbian vampires 1970 has to offer.

It's very much not too late! I recommend starting here with Dark Science, it's the beginning of the ongoing story and by far the bulk of Dresden Codak: dresdencodak.com/2010/06/03/d...
I do also have earlier comics before that, which you can find here: dresdencodak.com/archives/

Hey everyone, we have some big news to share!

LACKADAISY - Last Call

A preview of Lackadaisy Season One - the Speakeasy is in its prime as Mitzi and the band regale the crowd with an original musical number, Last Call. This seemed like the ideal way to announce that Lackadaisy is now officially a ‪Glitch‬ Production!!

it really has been amazing how much one person in a frog suit destroyed their fantasy visuals over the past week. this wouldn't work everywhere but Portland, you are doing amazing sweetie

Adam Serwer @adamserwer.bsky.social · 2d

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Honestly DOA may be my actual favorite, it's so much fun and I watch it almost annually

Sen ⚢ @dresdencodak.com · 2d

Oh absolutely, that's the cardinal sin of the film, imo

Sen ⚢ @dresdencodak.com · 2d

I think that's a big reason why I like it. Because, for many reasons, Enter the Dragon should be a much better movie than it actually is
