#pumpkin no.2 for #halloween2025 is the titular character of #slaytheprincess by @blacktabbygames.com . That’s right, I converted @abbyhoward.bsky.social ‘s art into a #jackolantern … #pumpkincarving #pumpkins

#pingpongperil on #shonenjump hasn’t really clicked with me, but I couldn’t say why… but still seems a shame that I’m pretty sure it’s ending in an episode or few… but you have to hand it to them for taking the series to the logical extreme…

These High Rise roads that are also somehow street level, since they are both surrounded by bottomless pits, but have building entrances.
I just accepted it, but if you take a minute to think about it… ?

About to start the trip up to the Lake District for the Lake International Comic Art Festival ( #LICAF ) or at least the #PhoenixFest part of it, to do signings as the writer of Fates & Fortunes in the Phoenix Comic. If you’re going to be there, feel free to say hi. Here’s some animations I’ve made.

Ok, serious question people, how are you supposed to open these kinds of boxes without tearing them? The main box has no room for extra cards, so I pretty much need to hang onto these boxes. So the less tearing, the better.

Generative AI may be legal on the Internet, but few will openly admit to practicing it now that we all realise it is stealing and creatively bankrupt.

I’m going to go obscure and suggest the Endeavour/Inspector Morse characters. (Btw the way, the Young guy in Endeavour is the same character as the Old guy in Morse. The Endeavour series was a prequel).

Been feeling absolutely wretched today- headache, painful coughing, snot lodged in throat requiring I cough it up. I’ve had to take my first sick day in… forever. New plushies arrived though. I need to get back into reading the comic with the crow in it. I’m not aro, but I like the design + GITD.
