Nuremberg-based illustrator Sina Simbürger has posted some lovely comics, but they seem entirely siloed at Instagram and Threads. Kinda wish there was a standalone personal site I could link to; this stuff is good!
Anyway, click below or just Google her name I guess. 🤷

This book! Always conceptually fascinating, but here - not only an interesting take on the mess time-resetting multiverse crises would create, but such a powerful exploration of the experience of losing someone to their loss of memory. beautiful & sweet

@scottmccloud.bsky.social Just noticed this title card refers to Steamboat Willie as a “comic” and I immediately thought of how Understanding Comics defines the difference between “cartoon” and “comic”.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
