Hey, everybody! I’m Akil and I write and draw riso-comics about black folks.

I made a comic called Carl & the Magic Coin and you can read the digital version of it for free on my website! You can even download it if you like!

Check it out here:

We see Carl’s face, reflected in orange from the window of a drying machine, as he stares down at the drying machine display, confused, and says, “What the…?” The display of the drying machine reads “- 10 yrs” #makingcomics Carl frowns and mutters “Great… goddamn slug broke the whole machine” #drawingwhileblack Carl focuses his attention away from the drying machine to say, “Hey Hassan, that slug didn’t work. Do me a favor and go tell the guy that we -“ but doesn’t notice that his reflection is now blue and shows him 30 years younger, dressed in a fast food restaurant uniform. #risograph Carl looks shocked as he notices his younger self in the reflection of the drying machine. #minicomics

In case you needed one more reason not to use AI …

The CEO of ChatGPT is blaming a teen’s suicide on his failure to follow the terms of service:

Adam Raine, 16, told ChatGPT he was suicidal and the AI bot told him his feelings were valid and even provided suggestions and detailed instructions.
OpenAI says teen's 'misuse' of ChatGPT is to blame for his suicide, because he broke the TOU: 'Users must comply with OpenAI's Usage Policies, which prohibit the use of ChatGPT for suicide or self-har...
The lawyer presenting Adam Raine's family calls the response "disturbing" and I have to agree.

Without farmworkers we wouldn’t be able to celebrate Thanksgiving. Be thankful for their hard work this holiday season!

Sin los trabajadores agrícolas no podríamos celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias. ¡Agradece su arduo trabajo en estas fiestas!

Proof that @mkupperman.bsky.social is a genius:

I never watched his Fox show, so I assume this really happened.

🥧 (a Thanksgiving comic)
Five panel comic of Batgirl and Supergirl enjoying some pie on a rooftop and sharing what they are thankful for. Despite Babs assumption that Kara is simply thankful for her incredible god-like powers, Kara is really just thankful for Batgirl's friendship. Sometimes simply feeling loved and normal is the best gift of all. Also, pie. Pie is also a pretty great gift.

Dungeons & Dragons in the original Klingon #StarTrek
Dungeons & Dragons player rule book from the 80's redraw as the Bat'leths & Bihnuchs RPG Klingon game from Star Trek Lower Decks. Procreate illustration that shows a giant red orange and yellow snake, over a bed of molten lava with its mouth wide open fighting a Klingon warrior holding a bat'leth, with his leg sticking out the frame and rocks all around him. All in a red-ish background and off white text Text says "Bat'leths & Bihnuchs" in the classic 80's D&D font, and "ghetmeH Quj" (fantastical game for the purpose of role-playing) "vey wa'"(set one) and "taghwl' pabmey'" (beginners rules) in Klingon pIqaD There's a Klingon trefoil symbol at the very bottom

Hand lettering a one-pager and only remembered to watch for crossbar I rule part way through and delighted that the way I print since Jr High (all caps) already generally followed the crossbar rule.

Fishtopher 3 years ago, when he was first adopted. He is a brown tabby cat with green eyes and a wide head. He lays in the arms of the camera person and looks a little anxious. Fishtopher today. He is a brown tabby cat with green eyes, and is sitting very confidently and expectantly for treats.

The AI generated “doctor” in the medicare commercial with the hand that repeatedly blips off, really seems like a reliable spokesperson who gives me great confidence in the offer.

The green skinned tiny horns having demon Lorne (Andy Hallett) in the lounge of the Hyperion Hotel. Lorne is wearing a lounge lizard type shirt and suit. Two red love seats and a small table are behind him. One of the seats has a blanket and the other has a small pillow. The table has what looks like papers and/or magazines on it.
