A bad time.
Four frames of a comic in a cartoonish style about a woman trying to cope with a bad time. First frame: the woman is in bed, staring at nothing. She's surrounded by darkness and a white spiral. Frame two: the woman is walking with an empty expression in the street. Frame three: she enters a grocery store by slamming the door. Frame four: a close up of her face as she loudly asks for cheese.

It's Wednesday:
A two panel comic I drew at work. The first panel shows a woman working on a laptop. The text says: it's Wednesday. A quiet day. The second panel shows the woman looking up, in thought. The text says: once again, i am thinking about the guillotine.

The Secret Agent (2025)
A screenshot from the film The Secret Agent. The main character, a man with a dark hair and a mustache, is sitting on a couch and being recorded for an interview. He says: "I am not a violent person." The man continues. He says: "But this man..." The man's expression is serious. He says: "I would kill him even with a hammer." "I would crush his skull with a hammer."

Alain Resnais's Night and Fog premiered 70 years ago: "We pretend it was all confined to one country, one point in time. We turn a blind eye to what surrounds us, and a deaf ear to the never-ending cries."

A plain yellow room with a door. A pink dinosaur talks to a figure with a blue body and a head that looks like a drawing of a ghost. A dialog box says “I DO NOT LIKE THE WAR.”

Just watched Kokuho by
Lee Sang-il - simply one of the best films of the past twenty years. Unbelievably gorgeous, and beautifully written. Satoko Okudera's script shines like no other. Please go watch it if you can!
A screenshot from the film Kohuko. The protagonist is here seen applying theater makeup.

Watched Takeshi Kitano's Sonatine tonight.
Screenshot from Sonatine. Two yakuzas talk in a bus. One has stabbed the other the day before. The one on the right, happily eating an ice cream, offers the stabbed one something to drink. The other, a bald man, replies "No. My stomach still hurts from where you stabbed me." Screenshot from Sonatine. Two yakuzas are sitting near a car. The one on the left says "I don't do drugs. I only do amphetamines." Screenshot from the film Sonatine. Two yakuzas pretend to be sumo wrestlers on a beach. Screenshot from the movie Sonatine. Two yakuzas are sitting cross legged on tatamis. One is holding a doll and pressing its head on the other yakuza's cheek, saying "Kiss".

Remembering some heroines from my youth
A four frame comics about types of women protagonists I saw in my childhood/teenage years. The first frame shows a girl with long wavy hair, frowning. The text reads: "YOU GOT FIRE IN YOU, GIRL" Girl. Rightfully mad, no time for love (3 shitty boyfriends), actual fire power? Red hair." The second frame shows a girl shrugging and blushing, with overall and a stripped shirt. The text reads: "I'M SUCH A MESS" Girl: hopeless crush, shit job, clumsy, tries?. The third frame shows a heroine in a period costume and a bun, holding a book. The text reads "I DON'T CARE FOR SILLY" Girl: marries a douchebag anyway, she *reads*, "I never gossip". The fourth frame shows Iwakura Lain from the anime Serial Experiments Lain. The text reads: "COMPUTERS"

(Author is quadriplegic)
A few weeks after AJM finally sent out an engineer to resize my chair, I got a call from the clinical lead. He said that he needed a barcode number from the chair I’d gone home with, which he’d forgotten to note down. Could I please get out of the chair, crouch down on the floor and read out the number off the bottom?

OK (1/2)
A 2019 comic about my father's death. A character is shown entering a flat and closing the door. The text reads: "When I was little (and older) , as I came home from school (and work) A corridor is shown. "My dad would ask from his room, at the end of the corridor: Are you ok? And I would say: I'm ok dad, how are you?" The father answers, "If you're OK, then dad is ok!" The text reads: "(It was a bit frustrating). Then he would come out." The father says: "I cooked rice and salmon today, come and eat dinner!". The text reads: (It was always delicious). The text reads: "Now it's now." The corridor is now empty. The bowl of food is also empty of any rice or salmon. The text reads: "And I've learnt what silence is made of."

Pickpocket (1959), directed by Robert Bresson. One of the most elegant scenes ever made, and so simple too.
