This is part of the problem in comics and why we need a major cultural shift in comics reporting, even in 2025:
@comicsbeat.bsky.social does a preview of this new book that I drew (a 30+ page issue), uses my art w @20eyesbrad.bsky.social for the article, but only interviews the writer & licensor.

My most strongly held comics opinion (I hesitate to say "opinion," because it's a fact): lettering should be the first finished thing done, not the last. Done after (or along with) roughs and finalized before pencils. Pencils and inking should be done AROUND the lettering.

A cool thing about buying a house is the constant mysteries it provides. What model hot tub is this? I'll have to investigate! What does this light switch do? It's been six months and I still don't know!

I finished writing my outline for the Shit Kids tonight, despite almost completely breaking my Scrivener file by opening it with an old version of the app. I went over the whole thing with @crystalnehler.bsky.social and she helped me through a couple plot points and came up with some great gags
