The whole of chapter 1 is up on our website. We do have an RSS feed on the home page. But it's very much the boomer way of doing webcomics.

I would rather do this as opposed to this scheduled posting thing? But the personal web is a niche now.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Holy cannoli arm is right 💪
Do you have recommended resources for studying muscle drawing or is it just.... years of practice.

Working families. The elderly. People with mobility limitations. People of all colors. Not just LGBTQ and liberals. People who are VERY patriotic. Veterans for Palestine (which was very fucking cool to see.)

Honestly these events are raw hope. PLEASE go to any #nokings you can manage.

Friction (Back to working on the comic) @frictioncomic.com · 18h

What do #nokings protests look like?

People having fun, wearing costumes, blowing bubbles, drawing with chalk, and banging on percussion instruments. Kids taking pictures with people in superhero costumes. Educators and health care workers dancing. Couples of all ages. Friends goofing around.

#nokings was a good time but we had to leave before the actual march. We went to the biggest one we could that was still driving distance. People lined the side walks. I took vids for scale but I cant upload them cuz my irls are in them.

I was repping my trans kings with my #DIY protest shirt.

I don't think I've shown art of Rex yet but this is Dianne's brother.
They have no eyebrows because of a genetic condition. She draws hers on. He doesn't bother.
He's got a poker face but it breaks for the women of his past.

This goes without saying but it wont stop you from seeing AI images that are improperly tagged on the side of pinterest. It's only going to block the stuff that pinterest is aware is AI. I did this and it STILL tried serving me AI for my memes board. Maybe AI memes aren't usually tagged?

I found the P.O.P album when I needed it most. It motivated me to get back to drawing.
Dianne is a mad scientist specializing in endocrinology and surgical implants. Fueled by self-liberation. She is one of the main antagonists in our comic.

I'm working on an alien species design in between taking care of my mom and running myself to appointments. I kinda want them to look like succubi/incubi/demons.

I honestly never had an issue buying generics. You just have to research. This was insane.

Friction (Back to working on the comic) @frictioncomic.com · Sep 7

Laptop charger went up in flames. Im fine. We put the fire out. But damn.

I had replaced my Nitro charger with a generic, one with glowing reviews, but a generic. I didn't think it would be an issue.

My cat had bit the spot where it caught fire? But the cat bit the OG charger and it never sparked

Thank you. It should be coming through. It's not vacation time. It's a state protected leave.

But ye I'll be fine I just feel bad that I've been drawing less

Socials make you feel like you have to keep posting art 💀

I've been avoiding the bad news machine (social media) and seeing my family more. It's allowed me to be more optimistic about my/our current situation. But the shit going on at home is HEAVY and out of my control.

Work IRLs might know what it is. This was weeks ago.

Gif still unrelated.
