SABLE: A GHOST STORY is an ongoing gothic horror webcomic, and it launches publicly today!!! Sablecomic.com

An anthropomorphic stoat with white fur and a red sweater brandishes a flashlight in a darkened hallway, as a skeletal animalistic wraith looms out of the shadows behind him.

I'll be heading to Japan for the first time later this month! I'll be hanging around Tokyo and Osaka. If anyone has any reccomendations of places to visit, I'd love to hear them! I'm especially interested in illustration and Manga art exhibits, cool parks, and art supply/stationary shops.

Thank you for reading, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Ethan M. Aldridge @ethanmaldridge.bsky.social · 11d

I feel the same way here in NYC. Today I spent the afternoon in front of a local cafe, reading and chatting with friends and neighbors, meanwhile relatives ask me if I'm doing okay, you know, "with all the crime happening"
