Dropped today! My cover for the new SMILE series from @idwpublishing.com

So excited to be a small part of this & to see the franchise take on new life from the amazing @hannahrosemay.bsky.social, Miriana Puglia, @dearbhlala.bsky.social & @heatherantos.bsky.social 🩸

Look for it FEBRUARY 2026

Cover for “SMILE: For the Camera” featuring a woman’s face on a black background. Her eyes are wide, mascara running down her cheeks. And in her hand, a pair of bloodied sewing scissors. Within their reflection, the unsettling SMILE.

KEEPING TIME returns, as promised!!

#KeepingTime is a bittersweet bummer of a gay band romance that just started its 4th chapter, which means there's already 106 pages for you to dive into. #webcomics

🎸 keepingtimecomic.com

Full page spread of a close-up of a bulletin board. A flyer that reads, "Chapter 4: My Father's Dreams" takes front and center of the spread. Around it, numerous flyers and business cards are pinned to it with colored thumbtacks.

Girl, just text her! What’s the worst that’s gonna happen????

A green lesbian furiously texts her crush, her inner goblin burned away and transformed tries to stop her. The green lesbian pauses over the send message button which she then dramatically presses, her frantic missive sending.

All right, just turned in the last strips of my second year on FLASH GORDON. That's 730 installments in the bag -- appearing in a rough average of 1.5 panels per strip, I've drawn Flash about 1,095 times. Still takes me a couple tries to get his hair right. Tomorrow we start on year three ⚡

Flash Gordon and Prince Thun take on a squad of green-skinned Shark Men

And old man looks up at a mural of Flash Gordon crossing swords with Ming the Merciless.

Flash Gordon frees Edda from her locked helmet, and the mechanic can't help herself from laying a smooch on him.

Flash Gordon negotiates with Empress Aura. "Tch. Fine," she sneers, conciliating. "Savior of the Universe..."

He smiles back. "You love it."

Actually it did begin with a parade of tanks

Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney.bsky.social · 1d

NEW: The militarization of American cities isn’t happening with a parade of tanks. It’s a slow drip of troop deployments that are probing courts’ willingness to give unlimited deference to the commander in chief — and testing workarounds when they don’t.

Thanks, @charliestickney.bsky.social !

YES! We’ve got 10 days left in the campaign and $3844 to go in order to hit our goal!

With larger publishers now using Kickstarter, it’s clear that we are the underdog. So we have to fight just to start our company! Help us launch our flagship book!

One of our big goals for Macabre Valley was to get the book in front of 300 potential readers.

We're now just 11 away, and it would mean a lot if we could get a few more folks to pre-order their copies today and take a chance on our comic.

Get your copy here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/zac...
