No shade to any of the Vertigo relaunch writers, but this is what the lineup looks like with me no longer in it, lol.

I gotta say, it's a bit rich relaunching Vertigo, "Comics! They're not just for kids!", after being lily livered cowards who hurled a trans writer under the bus for making a Kirk joke.

- Cartoonists should be paid 700x more

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log.

This tells me two things:

1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day.

Monthly Halloween (1985-1995) was the most important publication ever to exist

George Herriman is arguably one of the first major black artists in comics.

And the only reason for that is because NO ONE KNEW HE WAS BLACK.

He was light skinned enough to be white passing & hid that fact into old age so that he WOULD be able to continue drawing largely due to rampant racism.

the three words every girl wants to hear

A poignant, timely, and critical read no matter who you are, but particularly if you are part of the trans community.

It is a tragic reality that much of the power of the state has been levied against you in these dark times. But the state, like everything else, is temporary. You will outlast it. 🫶
