Looking forward to the new animated series Frog & Chicken, about two lil inflatable buddies just running around Portland shaking their stuff at bullies.

Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

"Oh cool, it's Outback!"
"Aww yeah Outback!"
"Help a brother out, transform into a blooming onion!"
"Yeah, fuck yeah!"
"...no I...I turn into a jeep."
"Get the fuck out of here then, you fucking loser."
"And drive your sorry ass out to get us a Blooming Onion!"

Feeling the NYCC FOMO. I can only hope someday I can get an AA table. 🤞🏼

For now the only thing I can do is keep drawing more stuff.

I can’t recommend enough that if you want to become a comic writer, you need to read comics. It’s so tempting to try to shove a wall of text into one page or a ton of scene changes, but that makes it really hard on artists to be able to properly adapt that

anytime someone says “it’s here to stay” about some new garbage tech like NFTs or AI, that basically means “i’ve already sank money into this and need it to stay long enough to make that money back”

I can’t get over how beyond despicable it is to detain street vendors, people that keep our streets vibrant and safer because of their presence. Street vendors are some of the most vulnerable and visible yet we are being told their detainment is to keep us safe. Ridiculous.

Jim Lee openly disparaging AI in no way guarantees anything, no one knows what the future of AI is and no one knows who will be in charge at DC Comics down the line. But I think it's important that a popular artist publicly shot AI down. Fans and artists ignorant of or using AI need to hear this.

Oh shit, ANTIFA is suiting up

From the sound of music. Seven children stand in a line inside a grand house, wearing identical light blue sailor-style uniforms with dark collars, neckties, and knee socks. They are arranged from tallest to shortest, standing at attention on a patterned rug with a staircase and ornate wall paneling behind them.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The explosive conclusion to THE STARBREAKER SUPREMACY is in comic shops TODAY. But every ending brings a new beginning. I'm so excited for what's to come in GLC. Shoutout to @spacekicker.bsky.social for helping a dude grow over the past 9 issues. See y'all for issue 10. I hope you'll stick around 💚
