One of the big perks of making explicit pornography is being spared the constant braindead tee-hee needling that creators who make SFW media get whenever their work contains any concept that's so much as tangentially-related to a fetish that's considered "safe" for boring normies to make fun of

Mussels cooked in wine are always lovely, that’s true, but I implore you to try cooking them in beer: its light bitterness is the perfect foil to their rich sweet flesh. And this is why my Dutch Mussels are #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/dutc...

The Dutch do love their mussels, honoured there as zwarte goud — black gold — although it’s true that their neighbours the Belgians unfairly get more credit for them. Of course, you don’t need to make...

When I was a kid, dad told me this,
"You are not learning to draw because you might become the greatest artist ever. But, during those minutes of solitude between work shifts, when you can sit down with a cup of coffee, you can draw on the napkin with a ballpoint pen. You can keep your soul alive."

this sounds like a great idea. luckily there are no extremely serious consequences to providing false information to the Internal Revenue Service

i hate that comics bold certain words in the panels. it just makes them SCREAM in my brain and it's the main reason i don't read more comics. i have no idea why they do it.
Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

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.

Beyond the ethical and quality concerns, why would you want to cut voice actors out of your process? They’re the hot people with media training and a camera presence. You need a Laura Bailey or Neil Newbon out there to do panels or it’s just a bunch of sweaty devs in t shirts and blazers
