You don’t need AI; AI is not “inevitable.” That’s a lie being fed to you by companies who are going to lose a fuckton of money if they don’t convince you that AI is something you can’t live without.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

In MADAM, a man obsessed with McQuillen's trail of bloody crimes falls to pieces across the decades while a new family may be the latest cast under her spell.

This is one of those comics that was a true test of how bad we wanna make comics. But we did it, it's done, we just gotta pay a printer! 🔪
