I’am so so so sorry but my family is still lying in the street, in the freezing October cold.
Don’t forget them in your donations they have no one but you. Good bye

For the longest time I wondered why the comic font Whizbang has such an intense italic slant. Way more than most italic variants. Then I realized that it was a near-exact match for John Costanza's lettering and he just did that. Lol at how strong that shear is!

SHELVED BY GENRE has completed the second half of THE SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING, in which Alan Moore & Co expand the character's mythology, making some truly baffling and ill-advised choices but also giving us some of the coolest-looking Swamp Things ever put on paper. rangedtouch.com/2025/10/10/s...

I'd call them inward tails. Most western comics use off panel tails or avoid covering the speaker the tail is meant to point to, so I haven't had the opportunity to try them. Inward tails are pretty neat and, if done well, can be easy to understand in manga and indie books who draw from that style.

Dave Kellett @davekellett.bsky.social · 3d

I’ve never seen this before! An *inward-indicating* word-balloon tail (that’s the speaker’s right arm descending below the word balloon).

FASCINATING! Does this tail technique have a name? Have folks seen it used elsewhere?? I have so many questions!!! (From HIRAYASUMI, book 3, pg 37)

Got the itch to start a new modded skyrim playthrough after my last one a year ago broke and it's fascinating how much damage LLMs have done to the modding scene

In a world that was just 10% better, people who scream at criticisms of a piece of art with some variant of "no fun allowed" or "let people enjoy things" would be sent to the silver mines
