Felt like a such an immense slog. Especially since I have characters with so many colors and the paint bucket always misses so many pixels- that I would ultimately find more of at higher levels of zooms. 🙃

Side note, I figured out just completely filling in and finishing backgrounds in my comics before starting on characters helps me not get frustrated with coloring.

Used to try filling in both with the paint bucket and then go back over it all to fill in missed pixels, and it always

Technically speaking, there's seven panels left to be shaded before highlights on this set of PoP pages.

What is "plenary authority" and why is it a big deal that Miller said that Trump has it over the national guard?

4 frame comic where Miller slowly blinks. Text reads. A few hours ago, speaking on cnn about Trump's plan to send the national guard into us cities, Miller said : under title 10 of the us code, the president has plenary authority, has... He then fully stopped talking and just blinked at the camera, as if he realized that he said the quiet part out loud. "Plenary authority" means "complete power over a particular area with no limitayions". It is equivalent to ruling by decree, which us how Mussolini, Stalin or Hitler governed. Having "plenary authority" over the military would mean that Trump can just use the national guard as he pleases, no matter what the courts say. It's a power grab.

It gets worse:
1. That’s an FN 303 projectile launcher with a chemical payload—usually OC/PAVA irritant, but a UV dye is also used to identify protestors to arrest.

2. They’re labeled “less lethal” but still kill/fracture/chemically burn/blind—officers don’t need a threat threshold to use them.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

Day 281: Today's comic is dressed up in the drawing style of the late, great Chuck Jones as things take a turn for the worse!

4-panel comic drawn in the style of Chuck Jones (Looney Tunes), with top caption saying "Dressing my comic up like other comics (Pt. 8)"
Panel 1 shows me, drawn similarly to Jones' version of the Grinch, digging deep into the pocket of my pants while smirking.
Panel 2 shows me standing beside my spouse, who is drawn like a combination of Bugs Bunny and Sylvester the Cat (but with cheetah print) and looking very stressed out as I reel back to toss a stick of lit dynamite. My spouse's speech bubbles say "Why do you have dynamite?? Why is it already LIT?!"
Panel 3 shows an exterior shot of something similar to our house, but drawn in Jones' style with simplified shapes and no lines on the tree canopies flanking the house.
Panel 4 shows a giant explosion in the place where our house used to be, with the trees reeling back from the force.
Beneath the comic is my signature (Kat Baumann), today's date (10-8-2025) and the time I spent drawing this (50 minutes)

That account was his only voice, his way to survive and keep going.

Today, Sakher lost his last connection to the world.💔

Hey. Breaking my hiatus for a moment. I got into a car accident today. I’m just here to plug my ko-fi bc honestly. I’m not sure how much this is going to be. Physically, other than the chronic pain I already deal with, I’m okay. Mentally is a different story. ko-fi.com/verra

When @aceottorney.bsky.social first told me about this I said "this could change people's lives and stop developers from getting exploited" and having seen the final resource, I think I was not wrong. I'd call it a must-bookmark for indie devs.

So many furries have to learn that they can't be rude, bigoted assholes just because something doesn't personally sexually gratify them and/or cater to their specific tastes.

And a LOT of them are young gay male furries who don't realize that, yes, you ARE being misogynistic when you act like that.
