I got a day of clemency on this today but I still have $400 I absolutely must raise by tomorrow morning before I have to leave for work. Any bit helps, especially just sharing this when you see it to get it in front of more eyeballs. I just don’t want to lose my roof this week.

I sincerely thought I wouldn’t need to do this this week, but something fell through and now I need to raise $800 by Thursday to pay for our room and to get to and from work til next payday. If you’re able to spare anything, even a share, it would be tremendous.

Anything helps!

"clear understanding" or "victim of" 2010s UI designs, it's hard to say. You're right tho that that's when so many of the interesting and ornate features of design were all being sanded off. A TRON sequel, even in the early 2000s, could have at least given us some Spy Kids flavor.

yeah there was hours of processing and layers upon layers that went into each frame. A herculean task but I don't think it'd be impossible to simulate much less painstakingly with modern technology and achieve something that properly evokes these prime geometric neon landscapes.

Speaking of secret sauce that wasn't anywhere to be found in the sequels, so much of the idiosyncrasies of the original film that make it timeless come from visionary artist Jean Giraud AKA Moebius.

#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).

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

Hello friends! The digital edition of Backwood Folk #1 is now available at an introductory price of $2! That's a 48 page drm-free comic full of ghost town gossip, lights in the sky, and strange shapes behind the trees. Should be great for some seasonal reading! Available at giftshop.backwoodfolk.com

A white hand holds a broken skull among a field of pink flowers. A man in a suit emerges from the skull to greet a mockingbird. A woman and man cling to the side of the skull.

A horned goat watches from afar.

Chester: Dunno if she was around long enough to be considered found.
Art: One of them young ladies in Uncle Foe's Flock mentioned seeing a Beagle.
Chester: Ah shoot. I don't wanna deal with them tonight. The've been real riled about some thirteen stars nonsesne.
'We will ascend and leave our bodies behind for alien hermit crabs'
Martha had patience for them. I do not.
Herbert: Say, you're a fellow geezer. what story did your folks tell you about Fiddler's Cave?
Chester: We both know I'm from Sheboygan.
Herbert: So you don't know any of the stories?
Chester: Figure I'm about to.
Herbert: Lemme tall ya about the Phantom's Fiddle!
