Among his hundreds of voice acting credits, the prolific Canadian actor was also the unmistakable voice behind Cartoon Network's Toonami promos.

Gargoyles is such a fantastic example of the fact that you don't just have to keep recycling old IP if you want to build an audience. This cartoon emerged feeling so fully-formed and so confident in its storytelling that it remains a strong influence on fantasy animation to this day.

“Sam Neill’s character and how he responded to everyone with confidence but also kindness really stuck with me. It’s clear he knows his shit, but he’s not an asshole about it. Simple enough but shocking how uncommon that is.”

Sam Neill Inspired a Generation of Scientists

The actor, who died at age 78 on Monday, embodied a passionate approach to research and positive masculinity in his role as paleontologist Alan Grant in the 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park.

My privilege to share some lovely stories from the science community about what Sam Neill's timeless performance as Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park meant to them—and why it will continue to inspire kids to chase their own discoveries for years to come.

Catching up on the Eisner winners & delighted to see more recognition for Jordie Bellaire’s incredible coloring work. I’m excited whenever I see Jordie credited on a book because her coloring always complements & elevates in ways that make you appreciate just how remarkable great coloring can be.

I love Star Wars! So much so, I've made 8 Star Borg (SW inspired Mork Borg!) zines. My favorite part of Star Wars has always been imagining wild adventures, and now I get to do it all the time with this crazy TTRPG.

Cover of Star Borg zine. An evil Darth Vader like enemy reaches over a group of rebels. A young apprentice wields a lightsaber and a space ship flies through hyperspace. A group of 10 weirdo alien rebels. Two evil sith lords. A cybornetic wookie and a mysterious figure in a hood. A star destroyer looms behind themAn illustrated top-down schematic map of a rebel base.

"The news comes as opposition to Generative AI within the tabletop games industry - and especially around tabletop RPGs - is apparently becoming more outspoken and organized," says @wargamer.com.

TTRPG maker @chaosium.bsky.social has had to update its Time Without Tide quickstart to remove GenAI image descriptions it said were added "without our knowledge" by Adobe PDF software - and it's not the first. www.wargamer.com/time-without... #ai #ttrpgs #tabletoprpgs #callofcthulhu

I decided to do some fun psychedelic typography (cuz it looks rad) for the cover of this month's copy of @unwinnable.com. @fawnrelic.bsky.social did a killer painting for the cover and left enough space for fun design. Anyway, this issue is full of awesome stuff and neat things that you'll enjoy.

The cover for the 200th issue of Unwinnable Monthly, featuring art of a vulture flying above a desert with a psychedelic sun surrounding a pie in the sky. Text at the bottom of the cover reads "Issue Two Hundred."

Been warming up by drawing Mina the Hollower lately. Such a cool character design that is really fun to adapt to my style of adventuring mice. Abit less Don Bluth and a bit more Beatrix Potter and Jill Barklem.

Drawings of Mina the Hollower in a storybook style in a limited color palette. There are 5 vignettes on a single page of Mina leaping out of a burrow holding daggers, examining a yellow vile, picking yellow flowers, wielding a maze. And holding a parasol.
