SLEEPING WIZARDS may be short, but it still contains some of my best panel layouts, inking & coloring I’ve done in my comics career to date. I’m quite proud of how it’s turning out 😁

Please consider backing it today! 👇

Re: Navalny: one point of using a synthesized frog toxin, which the published literature shows THE EXACT SAME LAB that made the Novichok worked out a synthesis pathway, is the reverse of plausible deniability. It's "implausible deniability", a "hahahaha we did and you know we did it"

There are non US citizens influencing our elections, they’re called corporations.

The establishment wants us to not focus on this.

WORD FACT

The name Valentine means “strength, capacity, worth” (Latin “valentia”), and is related to modern English words like valour, value, valiant, evaluate, convalescence, avail, ambivalence, valid, and equivalent.

This Valentine’s Day, validate your valour by valuing your equivalent.

Says grifter who doesn't live in the UK, is a Spanish resident

and has an Irish passport which gives the Brexiter freedom of movement in the EU
Rabid Brexiter and British "patriot" Tommy "10 names" Robinson

Admits he hasn't lived in the UK for 3 years and is a Spanish resident

The courts are fully aware of the fact that I don't live in the UK

I have Spanish residency"

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Regarding my sigil mark:

Though I played with using stylized initials in my student days, I soon came up with a mark that combined an “M” and “W”, and that sigil felt truer to me. I used it as my signature in many early professional illustrations. 1/4

Almost every statement and action the current and previous governments have made and taken in relation to the destruction of the Gaza Strip has been done in the most bleak, cynical bad faith, so I see no reason at all to assume any part of this was done in good faith.
