Location: Indianapolis, IN

Law enforcement officers will pull you out of your car and threaten to kill you.

“I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU, UNDERSTAND ME” is what they said to a group of teenagers.

Why? Because they went to an anti-ICE protest 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Learned some history. Met some fascinating characters. Leaned into the weird while remaining very human.

“A winsome tale of wondrous misfits and unlikely kinships, The Legend of Charlie Fish channels all the wit and melancholy of the great Charles Portis. Part adventure story, part lament, the whole is a triumph of voice and heart.”

“Art is not a luxury for the rich, nor a bauble for idle hours; it is the birthright of all, the record of our labour and the joy of our lives, woven into the fabric of our common days”, Walter Crane once wrote - read more about him on my blog blw.

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA was a new type of personal project for me that I'm still very fond of. You can read it for free in this thread:
bsky.app/profile/oliv...

or pick up the PDF here:
oliveoilcorp.itch.io/ballad-for-b...
Page 1 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA. A Black woman stands in the middle of towering trees with large holes in their trunks. She wears a sheer slip dress and looks up at the orange sky. Caption: THE SKY HAS A CRACK IN IT. Page 2 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA. Following the woman's line of sight, we're looking up at an angry-looking sky that almost looks split down the middle. The shot is framed by a pair of damaged trees. CAPTION: "A big gaping wound right there, in the middle." In the next panel, thick droplets of moisture run down a harsh cloudy-looking texture. CAPTION: "It leaks." Page 5 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA. Panel 1: Sweat drips down the woman's face as she exerts herself. Panel 2: The woman is small against the backdrop of the fracturing sky as she climbs the steep cliffside. Panel 3: The woman has climbed to the top. She holds on for dear life at the edge of the cliff, trying to address a person standing there in front of her. The person shares the same exact shape as the woman, but their features are obscured by the same swampy textures that can be seen inside the crack of the sky. They are You. Caption: "I came to tell You about the crack." Panel 4: You turns their head up to gaze at the cracked sky. Page 5 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA. Panel 1: Sweat drips down the woman's face as she exerts herself. Panel 2: The woman is small against the backdrop of the fracturing sky as she climbs the steep cliffside. Panel 3: The woman has climbed to the top. She holds on for dear life at the edge of the cliff, trying to address a person standing there in front of her.

Caption: "I came to tell You about the crack." Panel 4: You turns their head up to gaze at the cracked sky. Me and Mine carry damaged tree trunks on scarred shoulders with scarred hands and scarred bodies. "Me and Mine built a roof" Me holds a mallet and looks on as Mine and Our neighbors work to build a shelter from the timber. "to shelter from the Water."

#comics #Marvel I don't get it. Same writer on two books. How can Jed McKay's Nova: Centurion be so much flarking fun while every issue of his Avengers is a chore just to finish?

Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:
