ten years after i was originally obsessed with it, durarara just came round and bowled me over again. i love how complex the character web is

There's a lot of things I like about working at The Library, but one of my favorite things is successfully helping someone find exactly what they were looking for.

In all likelihood probably only two people on this whole site even know I had a webcomic, but I paused in 2020 when I was at the last chapter, so I'm working on finishing it this year. I have about 4 pages queued and more on the way.

As much as I believe comics are the Ultimate Form of storytelling to my own tastes, I'm starting to consider if I ought to try optioning my stories as prose books with several really nice illustrations instead. Just to see them actually get.... done.

Today at the library I checked out Life, The Universe, and Everything to an old man who'd just turned in the previous Hitchhikers' book, and commented that I'd recently read them again and love Adams' writing. He told me he hasn't read in YEARS but stumbled across it on youtube.

Marvel using AI for that F4 poster is just fucking embarrassing. You're a comic company, hire Alex Ross or something.

when i draw the final pages of fledge fighters (there's about 30) I think I'm going to redo the last couple posted ones too. They were rushed, disjointed from the ones before, and I've always kind of hated how i shaded them lol.

People need to understand that there can be joy in making music, even when you still haven't mastered all the skills. The process of learning stuff is actually worthwhile.

Mundane dreams are the worst. Not because they're boring but because you immediately forget them until you're unloading your dishwasher and realize the perfectly sized drawer insert for your weirdly small silverware drawer is gone and- in fact- NEVER EVEN EXISTED.

long shot since nobody really follows me here but... my current comics project wrapped up at the same time as my day job laid me off. so if anyone has a lead on comics/illustration work or even just happens to want a commission... think of me?

nothing is free. energy in = energy out. anyone selling you a shortcut technology with massive benefits has hidden the true cost somewhere: wage theft, ip theft, invasive data collection, environmental destruction. technology provides incredible advances but infinite growth has infinite costs

Been listening to the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy audiobooks while I work and goodness gracious, I forgot how deeply this shaped my taste in humor and narrative style.

When our NSF research is inevitably singled out on CSPAN in some congressional committee talking about government waste, please at least remember how gorgeous this art is from their different comics, and the positive impact it will have on undergraduate engineering education.

Because I'm still drawing stuff for other people's projects, here's another piece from the archives. I'm not really sure what compelled me to draw it

Liz L - comicspasta @comicspasta.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

oh i also drew gail facing off against Black Cat a bit ago to go with a chapter. That was fun. Gail with her hair pulled back is so uncanny but it had to be that way in context.

got some capellini spaghetti (extra thin) on a whim, thinking it would probably be annoying (breakage, easily overcooked into a gelatinous mass thanks to my... unskills). but it turns out this is freaking awesome for sauce distribution. so good.

This upcoming semester will be the first semester that our NSF-funded chemical engineering comics will be used in classrooms. I just want to briefly thank the team of artists who contributed on this effort - without them, this project would never have been possible. I remain endlessly grateful.

As a little study I did Erica and Gail in the style of Marvel Rivals. I guess this would be an AU where they never got separated because there's no way Gail would do the matching hero costume otherwise.

Wrapped up a multi-month comics project today. Feels good. Planning to take the next couple months to finish Fledge Fighters for real. It would be nice to have that all together.

Late night post: something that's obvious to comics writers but not to the audience is that every comics artist is a co-writer. In comics, images are writing. No matter how detailed the script's descriptions are, artists are making a million micro choices about story, flow, emotion.

Checked on my just-for-fun writing document (read: fanfic) and the wordcount recently surpassed 100k. This was all in the span of one year, after not being able to write more than a couple chapters of prose at a time since college.

Meta's business suite is almost certainly using AI to put holidays on the post schedule calendar, this being just the most recent obvious transgression. I double check anything it tells me now.

Had several people tell me Invisigal in the Dispatch game that just got announced looks exactly like Gail. It's kind of weird seeing something like that close to a character ive had since i was 10 in something like.... real. I'm positive it's a coincidence but it's just close enough to be uncanny. 🤔

Dear Windows. When you have an update you want to do, and I choose to put my computer to SLEEP, bypassing those "update and restart" options right next to it, what makes you think it's okay to shut down all my open programs? hm?? to the dungeon! to the stocks!

Some more art that's a couple years old. My OCs Gail and Erica from Fledge Fighters, all grown up. They're twins who share a superpower between them, and when they end up estranged (very post-webcomic), they each have to re-learn how to operate without the other.

Consider: Fire-themed hero character who doesn't have any issues with anger or controlling their powers and has a very thorough knowledge of how to prevent fire-related incident. Maybe an engineer who's familiar with combustion. Idk. Let Flameo struggle with being too timid or something for once
