Comic thread just because I feel like it 🤷‍♂️

BUMP ISSUE ONE

First comic I wrote, somehow convinced some artists to work with me.

Lovely cover art by @ryankelly.bsky.social!

I want to do one comic first but the other comic makes more sense to release and then a third comic seems more fun but probably won’t work and can you see why I haven’t finished anything this year

Joe S. Farrar @joesfarrar.bsky.social · 10h

I believe in you, hunt that achievement 🥹

We lost something, as a species, when we stopped making bad games for every movie.

15 years ago, we would have got a shitty Tron: Ares tie-in game and society would be better off for it.

If you’re curious why I don’t have my yearly Kickstarter up and running…

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Waking up with heartburn is a problem that I could easily solve by not drinking Pepsi late at night but I’m not going to stop.

I might be stupid.

I finished Peacemaker! Good show and I reallllllllly like where it’s going in the future, whether that’s season 3 or a new thing entirely.

I have a soft spot for the spoiler-y comic they’re adapting, I want it to come back 👀

I’ve decided I need DC to let me write a Superman comic just so they can replace the S in my name with a Superman logo on the cover.

Imagine if I ever accidentally have my own kid, I’m gonna panic constantly and spoil the fuck out of it.

Baby niece is NOT WELL. Before she was born, I wasn’t arsed about any baby illness but now she exists I’m like “RED ALERT, CHEER UP THE BABY”

Catholics on TV: “Oh my, the guilt. I feel so much guilt. CRUSHING GUILT.”

Catholics in real life: “I’m quite fond of ignoring problems.”

Who else could post a supportive message alongside a fireworks machine gun and it’d make perfect sense?

Maybe Lady Gaga?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

This is gonna be a quick thread considering I’ve only written 5 released comics so far BUT MORE TO COME 👀😂

BUMP ISSUE ONE…again

The rare black and white cover that I’m fairly certain I only have this one copy left. Kickstarter exclusive cover ✌️

Cover by Ryan Kelly again, obviously.

All this time, my foreskin has been going head to head with autism. Who knew?

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 3d

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Watching Aladdin as an adult is weird because it’s still a good movie but the part when Genie says Aladdin has slaves that are proud to work for him does NOT get better with age.

Apparently the best way to prepare is getting a team to level 99 and max stats.

My highest level Digimon is 60. This might take a while.

Joe S. Farrar @joesfarrar.bsky.social · 4d

I beat Digimon Story Time Stranger! It took me about 40 hours to do the main story and all the side quests.

…however, there’s an achievement for beating the hardest difficulty mode on New Game+, so we all know I’m not finished yet 👀
