The score was amazing! And I loved the character designs.

There's one I saw in my town that almost caused me a car wreck. It was wrapped in a maroon wrap that is prismatic, like one of those stickers from the eighties. When I saw it, I was so dumbfounded I almost forgot to watch the road. Truly just a hideous thing. Never seen since, thank goodness!

I'm not really a fan of stand-up comedy or pranks, but I do appreciate commitment to a bit

Ugh, that sucks. Fingers crossed for you!

It's so frustrating, I'm right there with you. I am SUCH a mark for Tron and yet that...*person* as the lead completely sours it.

Same. Every once in awhile I manage to learn something but I don't try to keep up. Let kids have their own dumb crap, I certainly did.

That sign in the background is genius as well!

A little something different on Monster October Day 10: ALIEN sketch cover.

I wanted to do white on black for a while. Having turned in all my pages for Pacific Rim gave rare moments of downtime to experiment.

And paper-mache! Nothing but the best for the carton of hate and the wedge of spite.

Well shut my mouth. On a whim I looked in an old binder I had in storage and the ancient photos I have of me and my old friend Kevin dressed as @evandorkin.bsky.social 's Milk and Cheese were in there. Here's the best one. Revel in a time before digital photos let you get real clarity!

I'm more flexible as long as the tail is basically pointed toward the head (I get it, sometimes panels are just *problems* and you do what you can), but yes, toward the mouth is ideal.

Oh, that's actually really interesting! Here I always assumed that they just looked for areas with cracked pavement when they wanted to film, well... Cracked pavement. Never even considered that they'd dress up the actual road.

This is a REALLY cool take on Megs. I assume he probably doesn't transform, which is a filthy shame (for me). I would really like a transforming Megatron that looks like this!

Yeah, I've seen it on some Webtoons before. I just hadn't thought of that one when I started Catbeard nearly fifteen years ago so it's a bit late for me to experiment with the format now that I'm in the final stretch of the comic.

A) oof, I relate, man. My old job used to get me up at 3 am and it was brutal.
B) assuming that you don't have a heinous commute, though, that means your afternoon should be pretty open for early weekday matinees, which are superior viewing times anyway.

Black panel gutters I actually rather like. For some reason that works for me. I just really don't care for the inverted word balloon tail, though I can't articulate why. But nobody's holding me down and forcing me to use it in my own work or anything so I can't really complain!
mattnelsonart.bsky.social
I actually like that one! I would use it myself if I had established it earlier on in my comic.

Ye gods do I love ReBoot, and you are not wrong.
