Happy Tuesday!
There is a new chapter of my webcomic, Nothing Special, up today.

If you like magical adventure, feeling bad for topiaries, and butt jokes.... that's an odd mix but I got you, boo.

Maybe give it a read and a share? www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/n...

Already out of NYC and back in A2.
Thanks for a lovely weekend NYCC. See you next year 💖

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.

Dear Uber Driver,
I also did not want to go to the airport before 5am but here we are.

Today is my last day at NYCC! I’ll be at the Penguin Random House booth for a signing and then I’m OUT. Come get a free copy of Nothing Special volume 1!

Anyone wearing a costume that plays loud music 100% of the time should be dragged to the back of the javits and chucked into the Hudson River.

I said what I said

I am at NYCC
I am now in a chair.
That chair is across from this room. I’m going to be in this chair with my paints for a while.
Come by and say hi.
I’ll be the one in the flannel.

Katie Cook @katiecandraw.bsky.social · 2d

Man, I completely underestimated my ability to find a chair/a place to sit in the Javits during NYCC.

I’m in NYC in a building full of nerds so I think “supposedly” can be cut.

Table-sitting at NYCC.
Me pretending to be Andy is the rock bottom the entire MLP fandom has been waiting for me to stumble into.

Also I immediately regret not stopping for caffeine before I picked up my badge.

The new bathrooms in the DTW Delta terminal have a hand dryer built in.
It was a very fancy hand washing experience. 5 stars. I bet they won’t age well.

What a Rubenesque, melting ice cream sandwich of a cat.

I'll be bumming around during the show., I'll stop by!
I have a pro badge so it'll be weird to have to wait for the doors to open to get in.
... like a commoner.

The only thing missing from this hobo life is the bindle but I’ll argue my backpack and cane count as one.

Katie Cook @katiecandraw.bsky.social · 4d

For NYCC, I’m going to flop in sometime tomorrow on a cheap flight I bought last minute, only have a backpack shoved half full with a change of clothes and a sketchbook, do some work stuff/fun stuff and be back home while everyone is setting up for Sunday.

Dreams do come true.

I had to change the tilt and height of my Wacom so I can get his butt under it while I draw/he’s in my lap.

Established Cat and New Cat are fighting over who gets to sit in my lap and oh my god this is what cocaine must feel like.

A screenshot from Zelda Williams' instagram stories. It reads:

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. Its dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough', just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

The second Instagram stories screenshot from Zelda Williams. It reads:

"And for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it 'the future'. AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume."

Show me a picture of your cat with the book you’re currently reading.

If you don’t have a cat? Gross.

If you don’t have a book you’re reading? Oh wow did you know I have many fine books I’ve made that you can purchase onli…

Sometimes the inside of your head just seems like Burt Ward’s dog food branding.

I was unaware my son ate an entire bag 6oz bag of shredded Parmesan cheese I bought yesterday.

I hope everyone likes bald spaghetti and also HOW. I can’t even find the bag. They dragged it into their room like a raccoon.
