I haven't had time to announce that I've recently terminated my contract with Silver Sprocket, and Bottom's Up! is no longer available to purchase from them. I'll share ways you can buy the comic from me directly soon, but in the mean time please read this and share 💝

Creators at Silver Sprocket have released a public statement regarding longstanding concerns with the business practices of the company which alleges issues around payment of royalties, poor treatment of staff, and lack of professionalism. Please read their statement: cartoonist.coop/sprocket-art...

I don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want this to be standard. I’ve had at least five or six friends whose parent has gone into the hospital for an injury or a minor issue and died two weeks later from a hospital-acquired infection.

Modelling shows universal masking by healthcare workers leads to huge reduction in healthcare worker illness, even when people unmask in breakrooms www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

A wealth tax and Supreme Court expansion and term limits are table stakes for democratic presidential candidates now. Anyone unwilling to get there on day one of the campaign should not be taken seriously

It's never too late to start masking again! We've known that conventions and fests are superspreader events for decades, you don't have to get sick! COVID is still here and leaving so many disabled people isolated from most public spaces. If you don't want that to happen to you, wear a mask!

As convention season gets underway, a reminder that we have an ongoing masking initiative pushing to make all comic events safer for all of us! 🧵1/3 ( art by @orchiscribbles.bsky.social )

The Co-op's mascots Inkling (an inkwell) and Nibford (a dip pen) are at an art event. Inkling is tabling, they are standing behind a table full of art merchandise- several comic books, pins, buttons and bookmarks. On the table are also some single-use pink facemasks and a bottle of hand sanitizer. A pink banner hangs from the table, it has "Make Events Safer for Everyone!" written on it. Inkling is waving at Nibford. They are wearing a pink face mask made from cloth that has rosy cheeks and a bucktoothed smile painted on it.
Behind Inkling, is a poster taped to the wall. The poster features a happy Inkling wearing a white facemask with deep pink stars and planets drawn on it; and a single-use blue face mask surrounded by stars. On top of the poster, a horizontal light pink banner is pinned to the wall that reads "Cartoonists United Masking Initiative" in magenta.
In front of the table, we see Nibford waving back at Inkling. They are a visitor to the event and wearing a deep pink satchel that hangs from their left shoulder. Nibford has filled the satchel with the event's howls- a leaflet and a book. In their left hand they are holding another book. Nibford is wearing a black cloth mask with pink polka dots on it.

every time you see a headline that begins with “we have to,” replace the “we” with “you” and you’ll immediately understand the purpose of the piece and the power dynamics at play

Storyboard artists, often closest and most integral to realizing a director's vision, are a relatively cheap part of the process. Often their role is disparaged, or not even understood. And yet one of the main goals of AI in film production seems to be to replicate what they do.

A24 announces that they want to put storyboard artists out of work. That's what the headline should be written as. Becuase we should be honest about what these AI "tools" are trying to do, and who it is trying to circumvent. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

GEO Group, a private prison company, signed a contract to give ICE use of Delaney Hall and “support services” like security, maintenance, food services, etc. in exchange for over $60 mil/yr But it is the detainees—not GEO Group—who actually do that work, for free ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
