since i'm talking about zines today, go make one! preferably printed. collect sketchbook pages, loose drawings, writings, shitty comics. it will teach you about the feel of paper types, spread design, the psychological/narrative of montage. edit at the end. then make another one
put together a zine to send off this weekend oh boy do I love making things
Today is the birthday of cartoonist Jackie Ormes (Aug. 1, 1911-Dec. 26, 1985), the first Black woman to create a newspaper comic strip that was read nationally in the US. She created Torchy Brown in Dixie to Harlem, Torchy in Heartbeats & Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger. Patty Jo became a toy doll.
hey! you can pre-order "Super Itis: Special Edition," a reprint of my comic from 2017 featuring an exclusive new cover and a mac & cheese recipe from me. shoutout to @wildsignalinc.bsky.social for working on this with me
Super Itis by Richie Pope — Wild Signal
A common folk phenomenon turned into a meditation on self-care. Super Itis sees a delicious soul food specter guide our hero through personal crisis to an epiphany regarding his own well-being.

the first few hours of Splatoon Raiders are pretty welcming, then you hit those timed dungeons. but then you unlock passive and auto-damage and then it becomes Diablo

So much for SDCC’s anti-AI policies — I’ve been complaining to show management about this booth for three days.

For whatever it might be worth, if you are a retailer you should be making sure to keep an eye on Bulgilhan Press and consider stocking their books. They are all fantastic and unique comics that more folks should get a chance to read!

"you may like the 'vibe' of those other chickens, but mingling with them is a gift to the foxes" says the fox
The Bulwark was founded by never-Trump Republicans. rats who jumped from a sinking ship and desperately need a home for their dwindling political power. they want to solidify the Democratic party as centrist at best, blocking out left-wing influence and power. just look at how they work
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2w agoThe vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.
fascism’s animating desire is the desire for violence without Relation. this too is the ongoing project of 20th Century liberalism. the technological (political) developments of the past century are only legible through this lens
