Reading the Dragon Ball Manga has clarified so many things for me in regards to its legacy, its choices, and its storytelling. It also proves that people DO want plot-first writing. This may be obvious, but the idea was anathema in my creative writing programs.
Reading Dragon Ball and *BING* I now understand the power of the 13 page perpetual cliffhanger. It's a hard drug.

It might a little older than middle grade, but it's the most recent thing I have. I can draw for younger if needed. Let me know if you want to see more, I'd be happy to sketch some anthro characters.

This is what the cover of my Hitchhiker's Guide looks like.
With every issue of Amazing Spider-Man I become more and more enamored with Ditko’s work. He’s genuinely got great range, including hilarious panels like this.
Optimus Prime was Convoy in Japan. They could be Convoy and (as suggested here) Cargo, brothers! And Cargo should be a Diesel addict who always disappears when trouble is brewing to suck on a hose, which explains why we never see Optimus's trailer when he transforms.
Mr. Ryan.@misterryan.bsky.social · 6mo agothey should make Optimus Prime’s trailer a transformer, too
It's hard to watch people lie to themselves, when I'm right here willing to lie to them for free. You don't have to carry that burden.

Found at the Thrift Store. Is that a Neal Adam's Bob Hope comic? Yep! 😀

Oh my gosh! Someone I don't know on the internet needs cash to solve a horrible problem that is definitely real.

Starting a new project in the middle of the current one is a symptom of insecurity, not inspiration.

TTRPG reality is: It's hard for people to imagine together. This is why playing in trope heavy worlds (sword and sorcery) or licensed games is so ubiquitous. If the GM and the players are all picturing different realities, it doesn't work.
