A couple of non-spoiler panels from Gotham General, written by the mighty @gregrucka.com. Working with a different line than usual, and I’m enjoying it. Bg assistance on the story from @tomrogers.bsky.social.

Two inset panels from the upcoming DC comic Gotham General, rendered in a combination of hard inkline, grainy charcoal strokes, and digital tone.

Everyone at Helioscope has watched me working on this and encouraged me to move out of my stylistic comfort zone. Thanks!

Our bodies are not the Commons, and our collectively-held spaces Are. That is why defending Trans rights, reproductive rights, immigrant rights, environmental safety, the Press & the Kennedy Center all matter together. The fasc move is to turn it all inside out.

Hasan Piker is an idiot and a provocateur with a pretty loose grasp of history, but I am finding the endless cycles of performative outrage at not unconditionally endorsing Eisenhower's foreign policy to be wearing thin.

Sometimes I amuse myself by ‘speechwriting’ for political candidates who have absolutely no reason to listen to me. But I’m certain I could get them a modest poll boost. We’re all doing this, right? This is just normal 2026 insanity, right?

So I’ve got a lot of designer and cartoonist friends on here. Thinking about the old Woodsy the Owl ‘Give a Hoot, Don’t Pollute’ campaign. Can we make something open-sourced but useful against AI slop? ‘Give a fuck, don’t make muck’? I know y’all can improve on this. Needs a mascot.

So I’ve always had a 3rd chapter daydream of running some kind of writers’ retreat. A lovely remote setting where folks can work in peace for a bit. Low demands, good food, no WiFi. Cheapish. But as an avid mystery reader, I know this chapter ends in many brutal murders, possibly my own.

Just scrolling here and thinking maybe The Whole Goal in this life is to to be more like Dolly. My 23 yo who is NOT into ‘country’ music is devastated. She sees a person who used wealth and fame with extraordinary kindness. And that’s without caring much about the extraordinary music career.
