Happy Tuesday!
There is a new chapter of my webcomic, Nothing Special, up today.

If you like magical adventure, feeling bad for topiaries, and butt jokes.... that's an odd mix but I got you, boo.

Maybe give it a read and a share? www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/n...

What a Rubenesque, melting ice cream sandwich of a cat.

I'll be bumming around during the show., I'll stop by!
I have a pro badge so it'll be weird to have to wait for the doors to open to get in.
... like a commoner.

The only thing missing from this hobo life is the bindle but I’ll argue my backpack and cane count as one.

For NYCC, I’m going to flop in sometime tomorrow on a cheap flight I bought last minute, only have a backpack shoved half full with a change of clothes and a sketchbook, do some work stuff/fun stuff and be back home while everyone is setting up for Sunday.

Dreams do come true.

I had to change the tilt and height of my Wacom so I can get his butt under it while I draw/he’s in my lap.

Established Cat and New Cat are fighting over who gets to sit in my lap and oh my god this is what cocaine must feel like.

A screenshot from Zelda Williams' instagram stories. It reads:

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. Its dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough', just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

The second Instagram stories screenshot from Zelda Williams. It reads:

"And for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it 'the future'. AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume."

Show me a picture of your cat with the book you’re currently reading.

If you don’t have a cat? Gross.

If you don’t have a book you’re reading? Oh wow did you know I have many fine books I’ve made that you can purchase onli…

I was unaware my son ate an entire bag 6oz bag of shredded Parmesan cheese I bought yesterday.

I hope everyone likes bald spaghetti and also HOW. I can’t even find the bag. They dragged it into their room like a raccoon.

I live in an area of Michigan where that’s the apple we grow. I am blessed.

I think it would be so fun to just stand in a dork group and talk about drawing and finding weird treasures around the building together.

This is a new, very big mural in a nearby town and no one is addressing the badonkadonk.
I don’t know if we are avoiding the topic on purpose or if I’m the only one overthinking it or….

What if instead of going to the NYCC show floor on Friday, I just went to the Natural History Museum and invited anyone with a sketchbook or a sense of humor to come draw with me?
No weirdos would take me up on that, right?

New York Comic Con is next week!
I will be there.
I have NO TABLE. I am a wandering dork with no anchor.

Saturday at the PRH booth is the BEST WAY to get me to sign any comics, books, etc. you have... I will not be doing any sketching at their booth! (1/2)

I just told Ryan this idea by saying “it could be like a CLASS where I teach people how to be doodlers,” and there’s a lot of flack for this wording going through the house atm.
