We NEED to bring back calling people sellouts. People should feel shame for betraying their artistic communities for money. We gotta shame and boo artists who backstab others for corporate greed. (TO BE CLEAR: this is different from doing things you don't want to to make rent.)

Trying to get a few things buttoned up before the end of the year- new comic uploads (Starbreakers 3 and a little extra), new blog post, plus an overhaul to the gallery pages that's been a long time coming. I think once I get the cover for Starbreakers 3 done we'll be in business. Maybe end of Nov?

Today was terrible comics day and I had mild sleep deprivation and heat exhaustion so what could I do except a nigh-incomprehensible riff on Dune.

A picture of "the artist" sweating and tugging at his collar, with an arrow and the words "THE ARTIST: two day jag of bad sleep; 30 degrees celsius outside; dehydrated; idiot; brain misfiring." The rest of the comic takes place in his thought balloon, where- in full colour- he is walking through the sand dunes of the distant world of Arrakis. He says the following:
"Wwhatup, Youtube?! It's ya boy, Flyknife Comics, here with another classic prank! We took the eighteen youtubers with the highest follower counts and brought them here to Arrakis, just outside the former Harkonnen capitol of Carthag! If they can get to Arrakeen without getting caught by the most bloodthirsty Sardaukar that Salusa Secundus had to offer, they get a CHOAM directorship and their water-weight in spice! Let's check in!"

The first image is the artist, whose eyes are bugging out in shock at the sight of three Sardaukar terror troops standing around a burning heap of bodies, presumably the aforementioned Youtubers. The artist grabs the sides of his head and, panicking, yells "OHHHHHH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT." Suddenly, over a nearby dune, several officers of the New York Police Department, waving an American flag and trailed by helicopters, point at the panicking artist. "Look, it's the kidnapper!" they say. "Take him down!"

The artist turns and lifts a knife in a warrior salute as he activates his personal shield with his free hand. "BRING IT ON!" he yells, his eyes now the blue-within-blue Eyes of Ibad common to the Fremen in the Dune series of novels. "May thy PIG KNIVES chip and shatter!" The tail of the thought bubble leads back to the head of the cartoonist in reality, who still looks confused and tired. The words "Long Live The Cartoonists"- a reference to Dune's "Long Live The Fighters"- are written above the artist's signature.

Making sure I've locked in all the major character designs for Starbreakers 3; I usually start with the Zap Jockeys but they're pretty solidified by now so I decided to work from the newer characters first. What is Sivan's deal? Read Starbreakers 3 to find out!

The good part of AI is that the only thing a writer can do to combat it is to become more human. Make your writing weirder, hornier, more violent, absurd, poetic, difficult, political, jagged, dreamlike, ironic, surreal, alive. You don't have any choice but to plumb the depths.

I don't usually do posts here unrelated to my comics but I just want to say to whosoever vandalized this sign about a proposed development on a local green space: 🫡

The backside of a plastic-board sign in a local green space. In six-inch high block capital letters someone has spraypainted "EAT YOUR LANDLORD"

The front of the sign in the first picture. The stale, insulting corporate copy has been obscured by graffiti that reads "UGLY + NOT AFFORDABLE" next to an arrow pointing to the circled mockup of the development.

Before UNDERSTANDING COMICS, Scott McCloud told a story about a gleaming silver-age Superhero, stranded from his sci-fi utopia into our "real world" Of all the moments in ZOT! that stay with me, him comforting a closeted lesbian after a homophobic attack at her school is one of the two strongest

Conversation between Terry and Zot in six panels.
1. Terry: Those guys who did that to Harry...so you have people like that on your world, Zot?
2. Zot: yeah, I guess here and there. The just aren't running the place. That's all.
3. Terry touched his arm, tentatively.
Terry: Zot...on your world...would I be normal?
Zot: Ha ha! Terry, you ARE normal!
4. Terry, weeping, grabs Zot by the shoulder.
Terry: Zot, I mean it! Please tell me! Would they think I was normal?
Zot: yes, of course. Of COURSE they would.
5. Zot dries Terry's tears.
Zot: Tsk. Oh, look at you.
6. A wide shot of Terry collapsing in her friend's arms
Zot: Look what they've done to you.

Took a break from drawing my own blorbos today to draw @grahamite.bsky.social's blorbo, the Disco Bitch (careful following through to that profile, they got the spicy art). I love and respect both this character and Guitar Wolf and their hit 1999 film Wild Zero from which the quote originates.

For free I will give you that Calico Everson and Erasmus Blitzkrieg are straight cis dudes (one good guy and one bad guy, nice and balanced). For everyone else you must leverage your considerable powers of imagination. Activate your third eye. Sorry them's the rules.

Also just since it's in my mind right now for reasons, important Valiant Stars information is that none of the characters are cis or heterosexual unless made explicit in the text. Specificity is not always important for story so lots won't come up but you must have this in your brain while reading.

Took a little break from pencils to knock out another mini-based character- Coyote Smart. She scorns showers almost totally. Her girlfriend puts up with it for love. I knew a guy once who thought daily baths would destroy vital oils necessary for skin health, he wasn't as cool or gay as Coyote.

Some of you may be wondering "hey I don't recognize these characters- are they ALL going to show up in Starbreakers 3?" and the answer is that I at all times decline to explain myself. I weave a shimmering, ever-shifting web of bullshit and by seeing my drawings you're now stuck in it.

Realized I didn't update here with the latest pirate character, Zorro Whitewine- his whole planet was destroyed and the psychic scream generated by that act of violence turned his body to star stuff and ensured that until vengeance is carried out, he cannot die (or sleep). Life is hard for him.

Weather's been too cruddy and cold for me to countenance the ~20 minute walk to the print shop to run off my roughs and start pencilling Starbreakers 3 so have another little pirate fella. Parrish isn't part of Kitty's crew, he's kinda got his own thing happening. All his clothes hate him.

Also these are the two latest members of Kitty Kissbang's crew: Bellara Quentin, a livestreamer in the surplus military hardware community, and Marcosa Qrill, a good listener and dessert connoisseur. The roster grows, at some point I will have to get these guys into a book. (It'll happen just chill)

Sort of the end of an era, in that it and STONR GARBAGE 6 are my last pre-pandemic books, but also, the beginning of a new one where I bring new skills, new insights, and new friends into the ongoing Flyknife Comics adventure. It'll be good. Stay tuned.

Also, I didn't plan all 3 books before I started, so there are just incongruities. Stuff gets set up in book 1 that gets hastily discarded in book 2, and there's stuff in book 2 that gets dropped from book 3. But I think in the main it all holds together and Volume 3 will be a good capstone.

Flyknife Comics @flyknifecomics.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Starbreakers 3 is a little weird because I started it pre-pandemic back in like 2019 and then the drawing stalled out almost completely until 2024. But I was still working on my drawing and writing and whatnot so I covered a lot of ground and ultimately started the drawing over.

After considerable work I have finished the rough thumbnails of Starbreakers 3. Clocks in at 339 pages; once I add in foreword/afterword stuff it'll probably be close to ~350, my longest to date. It's a book about which I have complicated feelings but I'm happy with where it's at.

For the sake of clarity; sexism, racism, fascism, nationalism, homophobia, transphobia, colonialism, apartheid, pro-birth, military power, and all adjacent right-wing ideologies are a form of weakness I do not tolerate. If you're a conservative, then block me and move on. You don't belong here.
