I got tacos, which are a damn sandwich and, if nothing else, a delicious smack, so ... I win at birthdays.

Another reminder to creatives to be extra careful with...I don't know what to call it..."industry phishing"? Beyond the massive increase in tedious Ai spam/phishing pointed at creatives, I've gotten 3 agent/publisher phishing emails lately. All from suspect addresses. Heads on swivels, kids.

SOLRAD exists on a simple, slightly stubborn belief: comics deserve the same serious critical attention as any other art form. We're a nonprofit magazine published by @fieldmouse.press -- reviews, essays, interviews, original comics. And we pay our contributors. 🧵

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

One of the foundational principles behind SOLRAD is that comics are art and that, as such, the medium deserves the same access to venues, discourse, and educational opportunities as any other art form. 1/4

I am humbled and proud to publish all the critics and cartoonists who make SOLRAD what it is. This third Eisner nomination would not be possible without their talent, intelligence, insights, and, quite frankly, patience (with me as their editor).
