No
Shut up
Shut the fuck up
Stop right there now
That’s as far as you need to go.
If you say “Death threats are bad” then great, we agree. Nothing else needs to be said. This post isn’t about anything else.

Hey uh
Don’t care what the writer did to your fictional bestie
Death threats are insane and so are you.
Because the character is fake, the person is not.
Calm the fuck down, and move on.
Learn how to offer criticism like a fucking adult.

I post a new version of this every other year or so, and every year comic book page rates stay the same. Five years ago, people were getting paid $240 in '25 dollars; today they are getting the same $150 a page.
The one about comic book page rates – again. News flash: Comic book page rates are STILL stagnant, after all these years, and for indie cartoonists it's even harder

I have a goofy picture and say dumb things on here, but this is serious.
If a book comes out with a character you love, and you don't like the book, don't pick up the next issue. It's that simple.
DO NOT harass a creator for doing their job.

Libraries are anti-fascist too! They connect you with your local community! They support authors!!
Do not steal books, I beg. Borrow from a library. Libraries lend e-books!

Video games don't work like that, movies don't work like that, TV doesn't work like that (at least not in the same way, residuals work differently there). But books/comics? If you pirate a book you are straight up taking money out of the author/artist's pocket, every time.

I know all the various defenses of piracy, and can agree with some of them (preservation is important!) but when it comes to books, there really ain't any excuse I buy. More than any other medium, authors directly rely on royalties from purchases. Every purchase gets them income, even from big pubs.

Hey if you're a creator in the New England or North Eastern United States, could you let me know? My local MA library would love to host you!

I've had to make a lot of hard decisions this year. I've moved across the country. But I'm most proud of the fact that I've been seriously pursuing my career even when it's been hard.
What are you most proud of doing this year?

Seeing indie superhero story successes in Invincible cartoon and the Dispatch video game makes me wish it wasn’t so hard to get people interested in indie/self published superhero comics.
I know they both have real budgets so that helps but on Kickstarter its one of the deadest categories

Creators - you should never be embarrassed to promote your own work. Excitement is contagious and the very nature of social media crushes discoverability.
