David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

WE HAVE A CAR!!! However, we are still raising funds to leave and afford an apartment - as well as other necessities needed!!! Please continue sharing, if possible.

#MutualAid Howdy folks. I need help - I live in an abusive household. The amount of money being owed every month doesn't allow myself to save and leave. I feel constantly unsafe.

I'm saving up for a car for transportation/apartment fees to get out. Shares and likes go a long way. Thank you.

What killer composition.

A comic cover. A curving road sinuously cuts from bottom left to upper right, carving through trees that radiate shaking lines. Lights radiate circles in contrast, creating a dissonant visual that is somehow both calm and threatening. In the top left, a panel sliced in two as if with a sword shows a truck driving away in the rain, and a dark figure watching it go from behind a tree. In the bottom right, the title is written out: BENEATH THE GROVE, CHAPTER ONE: EDEN. The word "grove" appears to be on fire, and horns sprout from the O, which has a red centre as if it is an evil eye. EDEN is spelled in red.

Thank you for a spectacular first day release of Beneath the Grove CH 1 -- I'm in awe at how much support this little comic's received. We've been so excited to share and it's truly paid off!

Stay tuned for chapter 2!!
