Corey Booker seems to have de facto launched his 2028 presidential campaign by actually doing the job he has now.

My car tells me that it’s 37 degrees Celsius outside. In Fahrenheit that roughly works out to be TOO %#£*ING HOT!

Seeing “Bluesky is an echo chamber” repeatedly feels metatextual.

Since things are picking up here on Bluesky, this seems like a good time to share a comic. Check out Food/Love, an intimate story about love from me and @jakebartok.bsky.social that you can read on @globalcomix.bsky.social globalcomix.com/c/food-love

I’m still an absolute ice hockey newbie. Just heard the commentator say how many career fights for a player. Is that really a stat that they track? Do they track wins too? #iceHockey

If you're not reading The Pedestrian from @joeyesposito.bsky.social and @seanvongorman.bsky.social out from @magmacomix.bsky.social then you should get on it. They're cooking up something fun and thought provoking in equal measure. You can read it on @globalcomix.bsky.social or in physical.

Like most I've given up on Tales From the Quarantine. But I tell you, I've almost got my money's worth out of it following the drama. I do wonder though, why does that guy keep posting updates? At this point it would be better to pocket your ill-gotten money and keep your mouth shut.

Hey, you! This is a literal (and ham fisted) call to action! Our Kickstarter has 49 backers, only 5 hours to go, and is so close to a stretch goal! Who is going to be backer 50? It could be you! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gestal…

Every October I think I'll spookify my name with something like Gary "we need to talk" Proudley, or Gary "out of coffee" Proudley, or Gary "the toilet water rising at a party" Proudley. Y'know, really scary things. But nope. Gary is 75% Gory anyway, so old faithful it is.

Is Kickstarter rough for comics right now? I have one going, but it'll be fine. We only need $160AUD over ten days. We did set a modest target. I feel I've seen campaigns recently fail, or only just meet targets when they should have romped in. Is it just my perception, or have you felt the same?

If you haven’t checked it out yet, have a look at Kongutan Vs Kraken. It’s written by yours truly, with art by Mitch Collins, and lettering by Wolfgang Bylsma. Here’s a gorgeous alt cover by @jakebartok.bsky.social

We are at $997 Dollary-doos if you're old enough for the Simpsons. $997 Dollarbucks if Bluey is more your speed. Either way, who wants to be the one to help us crack a grand on this epic-fight, 22-page, one-shot, overly-hyphenated comic? Kongutan Vs Kraken!

If you’re on the fence about backing Kongutan Vs Kraken, consider an alternative cover. We have an ominous atmospheric choice from @jakebartok.bsky.social and, let’s just say “compellingly prominent ape nipple” from Dean Rankine! Of course both still have the gorgeous Mitch Collins interior art.

I absolutely love the energy and sense of movement in Paul’s work. I don’t love that Bluesky strips out pictures from quote skeets. Click through, have a look what I’m talking about and follow Paul.

You know those influencers who make their kids bento boxes for school lunch with rice shaped like a teddy bear under an omelette blanket? I bet those kids are eating crunchy rice and weird gelatine flavoured eggs because they look better on camera that way.

Absolutely love this. For context, in Australia there is basically a duopoly on supermarkets. They’ve been all but colluding to push prices up and gouging consumers. They got away with it in the pandemic and haven’t stopped. People have had enough. youtu.be/dm1rcCrUAN0?si=m_GEkGBl0XD…
