As a immuno compromised person, I always have to mask and avoid large crowds. This is the reality of my life. Masks save lives. Including mine and that of many, many others who are at risk of serious health complications due to Covid and more.

An immunocompromised friend of mine just caught COVID from a roommate. You're not just protecting the people you're speaking to, you're protecting the people they come in contact with, and so on.

Masking at conventions makes so much sense I don't know why we don't all do it. The chances of getting get sick at a con are so high we have a cute little name for it: "con crud." That its easy to get COVID at cons should come as no surprise. Why would you not want to protect yourself and others?

PAGE 18 - PANEL A
The women are all now in their casual outfits. Kobra still has facial injuries from the fight with Etta that morning. From left to right they are: Mitch, Etta, Kobra, Kat, and Jimi. They are all facing the viewer. We are seeing as if we are inside the kitchen wall.
They're all cooking

SOME TIME LATER, THE WOMEN ARE BACK AT THE BETA LAMBDA HOUSE,
MAKING VEGAN CURRY!

MITCH: I NEVER HAD TO COME OUT TO MY FAMILY, THEY ALWAYS KNEW.

ETTA: FIRST I CAME OUT TO MY MOM AS A LESBIAN, AND YEARS LATER AS NONBINARY. SHE WAS COOL BOTH TIMES.

KAT: WHEN I CAME OUT TO MY SISTER, THE FIRST THING SHE SAID WAS “DATING SUCKS”, HAHA. IT MADE ME FEEL BETTER.

JIMI: I ACTUALLY WAS THE LAST PERSON TO REALIZE I WAS QUEER. MY DAD SAT ME DOWN WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER AND EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR ME TO NOT LIKE MASCULINE PEOPLE.

PAGE 18 - PANEL B
The viewer is between Kat and Jimi, looking down the line toward Kobra.

KOBRA: THE FIRST PERSON I HAD TO COME OUT TO WAS MYSELF. I THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF I WAS HAPPY.

PAGE 18 - PANEL C
Closeup of Kobra’s face.

KOBRA: AND THE FIRST THING I IMAGINED WAS BEING IN A DRESS AND A HIJAB. THAT’S WHEN I KNEW I WAS A WOMAN.

PAGE 18 - PANEL D
Contiguous with the next two panels. Etta is on the left, and Kobra is on the right.

ETTA: HEH HEH!

KOBRA: WHAT?

PAGE 18 - PANEL E
Contiguous with the previous panel and the next panel.

ETTA: THAT’S EXACTLY WHO YOU’VE BECOME!

PAGE 18 - PANEL F
Contiguous with the previous two panels

ETTA + KOBRA: HAHAHAHA!

Finally been going to my local card shop to play commander games! Lots of fun playing with different people, talking magic cards, and seeing what my decks can actually do (or not do) against others. Haven't won yet but made some interesting plays.

Last night I nearly vomited after having a CKirk, Valhalla, viking style music video pushed at me.

Reported that shit for everything under the sun

Hey YouTube, stop showing me AI slop videos. I never want to see it. Stop pushing it on me. Instead, show me content created by real humans who have worked hard on their videos, art, music, and projects.

If you put out content that's purely AI slop, get out of my mentions and go actually learn a skill.

Adam Mullen @amullen1988.bsky.social · 2d

Before anyone comes at me and tries to say that AI slop is art or that someone worked hard "creating it," don't. Instant block for an argument that is not worthy of my attention.

I appreciate it! New posts drop about every two weeks or so. The full launch of the story posts begins in January but there's teasers and other things happening until then.

100%! This is great advice.

Zoe TunnHELL ➡️ NYCC (Friday only!) @zoewithasword.bsky.social · 8d

Do two outlines. The first is your full plot of the issue (don't get too in the weeds with it, stuff sorts itself out while scripting)

The second is a page by page breakdown of the big beats on each page.

It'll make scripting much easier and make sure your pacing is on point. It's vital.

whats one piece of advice you would give to new comic writers

I've been working on this for the last few years but I originally began work on it nearly 10 years ago. I would love for people to read it and experience it the way I imagined through multiple media types. Thanks!
