Hey, if you're coming to SPX? Do a favor to your favorite indie cartoonists and wear a mask. If you're traveling, please wear one on the plane. I got covid at SPX last year and I was sick for several miserable weeks. I spent October indoors. I can't afford to have that happen again this year!

Being sick has taken so much from me. I miss the person I was. I miss drawing and loving drawing. I miss being able to wholly enjoy things. I am so so tired of grieving myself

God im tired of things going wrong with my body. Doc ordered more scans and bloodwork to see whats been going on with my biliary system I'm so sick of going to doctors and taking more medicines 😩

No one can claim ownership of what's in a museum archive. To label that "my research" is ridiculous. OK, you read it,. with a historian's expertise. Great. TIllie read it too, with a storyteller's expertise. Just because someone found the archive first is irrelevant. It's there to BE used.

This is something that people without illustration experience tend not to see: every single thing in an image was put there with intention, nothing can be incidental. A writer says "the car," but an illustrator says exactly what model, inside and out, from every angle, and it's not optional.

In all my books, especially KENT STATE and my new one THE DISSIDENTS, I spent as much time collecting visual research as I did researching people and facts & events. Cleves is not a visual storyteller, so this is no surprise. But to say that Walden did little research of her own is simply wrong.

The thing about the comics industry under the boys club, those 60+ victims are probably more “blacklisted” than any of these guys ever will be. Then w/ this announcement, it tells all their future victims, don’t bother either. Never forget, a lot of these victims just wanted to make comics too.

What changed? Image Comics is working with Warren Ellis again after publicly cutting ties in 2021 due to sexual misconduct allegations. Details: thepopverse.com/comics-warre...
