Scrooge McDuck is the fictitious ethical billionaire that earned his way from rags to riches and whose wealth actually trickles down. Almost all of Duck Tale’s villains are real-life capitalists; tech entrepreneurs, short-sighted investors, self-entitled moguls, and uh-… Greedy witches.

So, politics isn’t for you? Maybe it should be. Fascism doesn’t arrive overnight. It creeps in through apathy, silence, and the idea that “this stuff doesn’t affect me.” Graphic novels have always been a frontline medium; cheap, urgent, emotional, and impossible to ignore.

"Haunted" #IceOut #IceOutComics
A comic in black/white/blue.
Lucy rolls her bike through an alley, by a crew building a fence.
Narration: My neighbors hired a crew to rebuild their fence.
Crew member: "Do you need us to move our stuff out of the way?"
Lucy: "Oh! No, you're all good, thanks!"
Lucy: "Have a good one!"
Crew member: "You, too!"Narration: I was teaching when my phone started lighting up with alerts from the rapid response network and neighbor chat.
Lucy's back is to us as she shows a group of enthusiastic children something on a notebook. Behind her, her phone in her bag is buzzing.

Narration: By the time the lesson was over, they were already gone.
Lucy is reading messages on her phone.
Messages: 
Alert: black SUV
Sighting: be on alert for...
Confirmed abductionL alley between ----- and ----. SUV plates...
We tried to get them inside, but it was too...
...Contacting an I.R. lawyer. Heading to Broadview later today.Lucy is riding her bike home.
Narration: On the ride home, I kept thinking "If I'd been there, could I have warned them? Would my ICIRR* training have helped?"
*Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Get trained and know your rights at ICIRR.org.

Narration: I'd taken the training after Halloween, when the violent ICE raids had locked down our schools and driven our neighbors indoors.

(Image of a halloween bucket in the shape of a jack-o-lantern)

Narration: Halloween is fun here-- The community filling the streets and opening our doors to one another. But this year's was tense, frightened and subdued. Haunted.
Lucy is standing in the alley, staring at the newly built fence.
Narration: When I got home, it was all done. The other two guys who had gotten inside in time stayed and finished the build.

The new fence is superimposed with the brief exchange from earlier in the comic ("Have a good one" You, too")
Narration: I see it every day and think about how those guys built this in the spot where strangers in masks took their friend.

Narration: How many other places in our communities are similarly haunted?
(Drawings of sidewalks, buildings, streets and windows)

A sketchbook spread of my character from A Blue Dahlia Mystery 🤷‍♀️🙈🙏 #illustration #sketchbook
A sketchbook spread, laying flat on a desk. On the left is a vertical comic that shows: a door opening to a bookshop with 4 people inside. Close up in a half orc, Mags. Close up on a half elf, Dahlia. Mags questioning the group, Dahlia struggling to get her sentences out. Background darkening in 3 panels, edges crumbling as Dahlia loses consciousness. 
Then a doodle of 3 people sitting down drinking, laughing and arguing. A doodle of mags scowling and Dahlia grinning up at him. A doodle of mags and Dahlia walking arm in arm. A bird holding a flower. Dahlia holding Avras hand as they chat. 
Bottom left has an illustration of Sonnet and Daffodil holding each other.

Here is your reminder that Hourly Comic Day is on the 8th now! If you had plans for today, my opinion is to draw your hourlies and just wait to post them. I'm not your dad though, I can't control you. But I do think that it's a good idea to not distract from the first day of Black History Month #HCD

Digital illustration made in Procreate depicting a warmly lit home office in the early 2000s. On the office desk is a teal and white early iMac G3. A black cat is half-crouched with the computer mouse in its mouth, staring at the viewer as though caught mid-hunt. 

The scene is littered y2k objects. The wall has a poster of Rihanna and of Britney Spears' "Oops!... I Did It Again" album cover. Items on the office desk include a blank CD stack, a pink lava lamp, a VHS on top of a Blockbuster case, and an old landline phone.

Just finished an incredible advanced reader for @mcintyres.bsky.social from @tkingfisher.com Nine Goblins is a rip roaringly hilarious read that you will not be able to put down! #booksky📚🪐 💙 #reviews #newreleases
Cover of Nine Goblins with a review ... Nine Goblins by T. Kingfisher is an incredible read. The adventures of the 19th Goblin Infantry in their war against the Humans and Eves is a spellbinding, rip roaringly hilarious romp thru magic, cultural differences, kittens, stuffed animals, trolls, skeletons, wizards, Elven Rangers and the scariest antagonist of them all: humans.
Kingfisher has created an incredible cast of characters that will keep you enthralled and entertained, desperately hoping for more.
Possibly the most fun read I can recommend. You will never think of goblins again in the same way. It was the first story they wrote and what a journey they have taken us on.
Releases in January 2026
