STOP! 🛑⛔🚫✋ Before you start rendering that full colour comic page, have you asked yourself if it would look better as Just Flats?

A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.

the last thing my mom said to me—
a comic. Panel 1, caption text: the last thing my mom said to me was— “you’ve become a great mother, I’m so proud.” I said, “mom, I wouldn’t be the person I am without you.” I am holding her left hand with both of my hands. Panel 2, caption text: actually, she said a lot between then and the end. “Can I get you anything?” I asked. “Some water would be nice,” she said. Panel 3, caption text: “if I try to remember the last words she said to me, I think they were like— “emma, help” I drew medication from a bottle into a syringe. “Sorry, sorry— I’m drawing another dose. Just a second I’m so sorry” Panel 4, caption text: “and the absolute last thing she said to me was—“ “ok,” I said, “are you feeling more comfortable?” She replies, “mmm”

Reminder to all my fellow Canadians not to do any of your holiday shopping at Chapters/Indigo. They try to sell themselves as a more responsible Canadian Amazon alternative but their CEO uses her wealth to support Israel's genocide of Palestine.

A cartoon drawing of a podcast audience in an auditorium. A speech bubble leading off screen reads "we have a segment on this podcast called 'safety third." In the foreground, an anthropomorphic fox wearing a shirt that says "you're boeing to die" side-eyes an anthropomorphic airliner weearing a shirt that reads "I'm boeing to kill you."

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

i have complicated feelings about black friday and the consumerism that surges during the holidays, but, alas, my career is based upon the sale of objects. at least books are a pretty good object to own!

bookshop is doing free shipping through sunday! get hunger's bite!
bookshop.org/a/117708/978...
the cast of hunger's bite in winter clothes. emery and honeycutt carry a lot of heavy items marked down for sale. neeta and wick stand in the front looking awkward, carrying books. HONEYCUTT: Black Friday! My favorite holiday! NEETA: At least we're supporting independent bookstores...?
