For DROME, I wanted a character who was mainly defined by color instead of linework. When I started the book, I wasn’t confident I’d be able to do it with my coloring skills, but hoped I would get good enough by the time the character made their appearance at the end of chapter two.

The Wednesday impulse buy at the comic shop is alive and well. Could not resist Banana Sioule because that cover rules and the interior art looks amazing too. Michaël Sanlaville has the juice.

There's no one doing it like @javierrodriguez.bsky.social. This is so amazing.

It's been a big, weird, often quite bad year for me. But through it all, comics have been a constant, bringing me joy.

So, today, I wrote about ten things that made me thankful from the year in comics, including the support of everyone who subscribes to SKTCHD and/or back Off Panel on Patreon.
In a giant-sized edition of my weekly column, I wrote about ten things I'm thankful for from the year in comics, including the sheer power of stupid (complimentary), metronome comics, comic adventures, the support of peers, DC's big year, surprising art, and more.

We are so back (to reading The New Jedi Order series).

I will be reading this series for the rest of my life, I swear.

The Count of Monte Cristo from 2002 remains an immensely satisfying movie. Big fan.

I was part of a pop punk site's discussion about comics. One person asked if anyone wanted to write for their comic site. I said yes, because I loved writing and comics. Fast forward 16 years later, and I got laid off from my day job and now I'm writing and podcasting about comics full-time.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Today’s comic work comes with a side of “Will you stop all they clickity clack, please?”

No, I will not!

I talked with @geneluenyang.bsky.social about his upcoming run on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but we went everywhere in a chat about his life and love of comics. It includes: His upcoming ADULT graphic novel Overrated! The impact of Eastman & Laird! The genius of Gurihiru & LeUyen Pham! Listen up!

It was a big week on SKTCHD, so I wanted to highlight what I was up to on the site.

It all started with a podcast landmark event: Grant Morrison joined Off Panel for the first time to talk about their comic book life and how they approach the medium, as well as a bit on Batman/Deadpool.

I just read/experienced Slices of Life, and let me tell you: there’s nobody doing comics like Qu. This strip is just one example of the glorious montages found within.

Sounds like it’s available from @bulgilhanpress.com still. I highly recommend it.

Coming up on 20 years of the former, but Girl Talk’s albums Night Ripper and Feed the Animals remain undefeated as running music.

This post is brought to you by just finishing a run set to Night Ripper.
