Colleen was SO tickled when I said I wanted to do this and I'm glad people are noticing this little bit of oddball tribute in JUNK PUNCH #1.

So... BIG ANNOUNCEMENT ~ I'm launching a new project TOMORROW. An ongoing online serial prose story called MY SECRET TWENTY. I hope you'll all follow along with the adventures of Nile Trondle, gifted "dating sim" powers by a genie. Here's the cover (+ motion graphics) by @colleencoover.bsky.social!

Attention! Everyone who bought a copy of my new JUNK PUNCH comic from @madcavestudios.com can read my NEXT DOOR DUNGEON series for FREE on Royal Road! www.royalroad.com/fiction/1507... (everyone who DIDN'T buy it can, too, but it would be neat if you grabbed Junk Punch)

Agreed on all points!

Paul Tobin@paultobin.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Here's my 14th reminder of the day that JUNK PUNCH #1 is out TODAY! Is it the all-time best single comic issue ever?!?! Absolutely not; that's Howard the Duck #24. But Junk Punch #1 IS pretty gosh-darn good.

Woo! Our new series starts today! It's me, Carlos Olivares, Francesca Vivaldi & @tayloresposito.bsky.social, with JUNK PUNCH, from @madcavestudios.com! The tale of Clara (who suffers from a chemical affliction that causes her to randomly junk punch) attempting to solve a very odd case of theft!

Our next Essential Read is Junk Punch #1 from @madcavestudios.com by @paultobin.bsky.social Carlos Olivares, Francesca Vivaldi & @tayloresposito.bsky.social - Behind an awesome title, this madcap debut blends satire, action, and heart into wildly unpredictable entertainment ^KB wp.me/p8WCuG-3Yc

Here’s a quick peek at Junk Punch #1 from @madcavestudios.com that comes out on Wednesday! W: @paultobin.bsky.social A: Carlos Javier Olivares A: @colleencoover.bsky.social #comicbooks

If you're headed to Comic Con Oakland you couldn't do better than attending the Parker/Brothers panel!

hermanos.@iamdavidbrothers.com · 6mo ago

me and @jeffparker.bsky.social are running a Parker/Brothers at @comicconoakland.com on Saturday, May 9! if you've never been to one of our panels, expect a funny time with lots of practical advice, great anecdotes, and finding lots to love about comic books. also free books! (probably)

This sucks! For anyone hiring or wanting freelance editing, James has been the BEST editor I've worked with in years! Fast! Incisive! Knowledgable! Passionate! I have always felt comfortable knowing that--with any title James works on--it will end up BETTER.

James B. Emmett@jamesbemmett.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Hey folks, after nearly 4 years at Mad Cave, I was let go this morning. It was a wonderful time getting to work with an amazing list of creators. If we have worked together, please stay in touch. I am available for freelance editing and would love to work with you all in the future.

Okay I'll weigh in as an avowedly atheist human illustrator: I know the whole thing is A.I. slop at best-- profoundly, appallingly blasphemous at worst-- but what the fuck is this supposed to even be???

Helioscope is not merely a studio space, and not only for comics: it's a community of friends, a resource hub, a professional network, a goldmine of practical advice & education. We have been cartoonists, writers, zinesters, storyboard artists, designers, illustrators, memoirists, historians...
