Hi new bluesky peeps 👋

a short description of the image won’t take long (subject/context/colour) and is inclusive & considerate of others

“Advertising built on that archive creates a potential for manipulating users in ways we don’t have the tools to understand, let alone prevent.”

TOMORROW! The Rise, third volume in the Tales From The Gulp, arrives on Friday 13th. It's all been leading to this. There's never been a better time to visit the dark and strange harbour town of Gulpepper. Locals call it The Gulp, as it has a habit of swallowing people.

Excellent, good point.
Jon gets the last laugh today, as all the Murdoch newspapers he drew cartoons for had to post his obituary asking people to donate to the Bob Brown Foundation 💚
Our state lost an icon yesterday. Jon Kudelka was a cutting political cartoonist, talented illustrator, and a unique personality. He loved lutruwita/Tasmania, and he never hesitated to stand up for our environment and people on topics big or small.

Wednesday's cartoon in The Mercury Newspaper: Jon Kudelka helped me get my first cartooning job at The Mercury. He also showed me how to be quick-witted and fearless. I was in a constant state of joke-envy over his cartoons. I'm gonna miss that feeling, but more than that, I'm gonna miss my friend.
