GFM update ❤️‍🩹
My tooth almost took my life,I got it pulled + am getting my implant consult soon.

Since then I have been sick with a chronic respiratory issue, & it's cost me tabling RCCC.
I hate to do it, but I am asking for a bit more help. Share if you can 🫶
www.gofundme.com/f/help-lonni...

Cartoon of me sitting on my own hand, with a censored photo of my rancid tooth cackling.
"That guy almost killed me! " I say, and the tooth says "I almost killed you! Nyehehe!"

Comic of me trembling , saying "oh, well I'm glad I got that tooth pulled, now to r-" and I am hit with multiple bouts of sickness.
"In time for Rose City Comic Con". I am hit with a sickness anvil.

I am pancaked on the ground, and I peel my face up, saying "I think I need to rest."

Due to popular demand, we are setting up a heavily discounted fulfillment service for artists outside the US that are scrambling after the recent tariff / customs policy put in place for shipments to the USA.

seriously such a good design! I feel like they took all the right notes from the Liberty's Ellie design but still made her feel really distinct

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Ars Technica @arstechnica.com · Aug 27

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

I love getting Patreon updates about this film! So excited to back it

The Last Fifteen Minutes is a marionette opera and short film about neighbors choosing to have dinner together fifteen minutes before a giant kaiju eats them.

This is a project I'm so excited to make happen, and I hope you will be part of on this journey!
