A great week! I finally saw Exit 8. Hard Target blew my socks off and Akira is unbeatable. But wait... who's that... it can't be... Fred Figglehorn!? #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #FilmSky 🎥Nostradouglas on Letterboxd

Exit 8, Fred 3: Camp Fred, Hard Target and Akira

The different sections of the library facinated me as a kid. I remember a librarian once showed me a whole new braille section they had just curated. I guess that will have to make an appearace someday too... #comics #booksky

Unbound 456 - Panel #1: Leaf and Galley working in the library walking past a window. Panel #2: A giant eyeball appears in the window suddenly. a booming voice says "Hello." Panel #3: A giant elephant in overalls is seen peering through the window of the library from the outside. "Do you have any books in LARGE PRINT?" Panel #4: Galley and leaf are now outside the library talking to the elephant. Galley, "Y-Yes. To your left." Panel #5: A giant bookcase is seen behind the elephant and the library. Elephant, "Oh! Thank you!"

And this is why I stopped filming time lapse videos of my process. It's way more efficient to work on multiple pages at once and have work in various states of development. Time lapses like a clean, linear, beginning-to-end structure and the creative process actually isn't linear.

How comics actually work: some pages take an hour and some pages take eight hours and they're not always the ones you'd think. There are sometimes entire weeks taken up by research that MUST be completed before you can progress. And you also must account for several days lost to the Horrors

This is one of those jokes adults gag at, but I'm telling you this is high comedy to the 8-12 year old demographic. #comics

Unbound 250 - Panel #1: Leaf, "Galley, I'm glad we got this comedian to give a talk at the library..." Panel #2: Leaf continues, "...But his new book is terrible." Galley, "What makes it so bad Leaf?" Panel #3: Leaf, "The whole thing is nothing but chicken crossing the road jokes." Galley in shock, "What!?" Panel #4: Chicken comedian appears, "Hello guys! You'll never guess what I had to do to get here..."

Maybe I'm out of the loop and it's already been discussed, but you know who would show real righteous anger over the AI stuff? Prince.

With apologies to Alan Moore. Love your work. #comics

Unbound 455 - Panel #1: Tall Porcupine, "I'm looking for a good comic to read." Galley, "Follow me!" Panel #2: Galley, "We have all kinds of comics. Manga. superheroes. comic strips. Panel #3: Porcupine, "What's THAT!?" Galley, "That? That's Alan Moore."

Nine years ago today Unbound debut in the local paper. The strip has experienced some... uh.. "artist drift" since then. #comics
