I missed that it was ergio Aragonés' 89th birthday yesterday! You of course all know him as the famous Star Wars villain "Sergi-X Arrogantus, 'The Arrogant One,'" as drawn by Howard Chaykin in the original SW Marvel comics.

If it weren’t for ̶t̶w̶i̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ bluesky I’d be saying all this out loud in an otherwise empty room. He/him.
"We have to find common ground!" These are people who are not only willing to let their kids die because of what a supplement grifter on Facebook says, they are willing to let YOUR kids die because of it. They need to be crushed as a political force, not compromised with.
witnessed something at dragon con I can’t get out of my head
Today on campus, BFA and MFA Comics students got together to break in our new homeroom with a giant scroll-sized riff on Wally Wood’s 22 Panels That Always Work. Next time you’re stuck on what to draw next, might we suggest Zoom In On A Face Punch (With Eyes Popping)?
it must be so difficult to act with a character who you can’t even see. thankfully, Foghorn is just that talented
The right-wing organizing around the Lindsay Clancy trial is growing and it’s frightening. A lot of people overlook these culture wars revolving around women’s issues, because, well, they’re women’s issues. But the right doesn’t. It’s how they regained such a massive cultural foothold.
Listen, I love football, which is indefensible I know, but saying it channels the male instincts towards "the good and pure" tells me Ben Sasse knows nothing about football or its appeal
My current art obsession is this round ass Godzilla by Mike Mignola. Plump but still menacing w/ that classic Mignola line and shape efficiency.
I love re-upping this: for decades the main library at UCLA had the generic name University Research Library because the person most responsible for getting it built was an English professor named Hugh G. Dick and the university refused to name it after him.

I wonder what the very first lapdog was like, how early in the domestication process did it happen. Imagine someone sitting, being crushed under the happy weight of something that looks identical to a massive wolf. Neither thinking about what 40,000 years of this will do
They're finally gonna fuck, let's gooooooo

Something I remember from a Chuck Jones or Looney Tunes book I read as a kid was his argument that your cartoons shouldn’t have perfectly symmetrical faces, and he does this by saying if you took a side of a human face and made it look perfectly symmetrical they criminally insane.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.
Lookin for a Brown & queer reimagining of a Greek myth? SUBMERGED is a contemporary reimagining of Orpheus and Eurydice set in the NYC subway on the eve of the biggest storm to hit the city. It is a story of siblings (not lovers), of love and resentment and abuse and regret.

I go through life like a talk show sidekick, chiming in occasionally when I think of a good line but otherwise hanging back. Unfortunately mainstream society does not consider this to be a valid model by which to live one’s life

We noticed ye from across the bar and are fond of yer lobster.
The thing about Harvey Comics is the way they made kid-friendly entertainment out of scary monsters: Ghosts, witches, devils, giants, billionaires...
this second session being impossible to schedule is the most D&D thing you could possibly imagine

I speak often about the moral weight of disgust. In this instance of censorship, the president of the university offers no rationale for his decision beyond his revulsion at the story in question. Adults who act this way cannot be permitted to participate in guiding society.
