BUSINESS AS USUAL is live!!

A group of punks attempt to free the detainees from America’s first off-the-grid ICE detention center. Will they accomplish their goal? Not if carnivorous snakes, situationship drama, or the state have anything to say about it!!

NYCC is definitely the Best time to post that I will be taking 3 months off of my day job to study for the bar exam this winter.

I’d love to lock some additional comic work in to bridge the gap. I have a number of original pitches, have written SONIC at IDW, and am incredibly easy to work with 🫶🏻

Chicago Is Perfect

Mark Bouchard @barkmouchard.bsky.social · 1d

was downtown for a midterm and class most of the day…but i really had that shit on…

I am wearing black & red running shorts, black cuffed jeans with a wallet chain, a trapped under ice long sleeve under a red & black windbreaker, sunglasses, and a baseball hat of a fat mud flap lady on it. I’m standing against the Chicago skyline on some stairs

#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.
