Boycotts are POWERFUL. What are you boycotting? I won't support Starbucks, McDonalds, Coca Cola, any of those evil calorie corps that suck subsidy money and decrease wages whilst destroying the planet and funding jenna's side.

I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰

Hello to all the new followers! My name is Ed and I make adult queer comics about hooking up and getting high, addiction, sexual misdemeanors - things you're not allowed to name or show on social media! Currently working on my 3rd graphic novel in this series, peep them here: Www.edwardfirth.com

Generative AI is the tool and aesthetic of fascism, and that aesthetic only appeals to middle aged divorced sex predators, billionaires, guys who drive cybertrucks, and guys who don't tip. It's the aesthetic of losers, miserable assholes, and guys with a sexual allegations section in their wiki.

Hmm, or it's that you're making streaming content that you hope to sell to the maximum number of territories, including more conservative countries like China, and you just want a titillating theme and poster image to sell neutered heteronormative slop. Read comics!

On Sunday I led 20 artists into the woods to draw charismatic dancer/actor Clay in the sunshine. So naturally rain started bucketing down half an hour before... But it passed in a few minutes and we enjoyed a serene creative moment in an idyllic forest glade. Video: www.instagram.com/reel/DbTp5SE...

Bought a new Japanese Fude "Sailor" fountain pen to draw Sebastian with. Do you prefer it to biro? It's wetter and blacker and I like that. See the poses and group art highlights here: www.instagram.com/reel/DbGlJ1S...

One of my favourite comics and a superb film! I find it hard to believe people think it's dark or downbeat... It's about that hormonal teenage period when you have to make big decisions after high school and you yearn for culture, adventure, experience beyond homogeneous hometown confinement.

I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more
