i love making little books 'u' got a freshly printed batch of my meeting-internet-friends-from-the-neopets-roleplay-message-boards-irl comic, with a fancy new cover 💅 that I'll have at @milkcomicfest.bsky.social this saturday! come find me! 📖🐄

photo of a stack of self-printed, stapled comics titled "you meet in a moonlit clearing....". The cover features a glowing CRT computer in a dark mossy wood surrounded by fireflies. a pair of hands nervously hovers over the keyboard.

photo of an inside page of "you meet in a moonlit clearing....", printed in magenta ink on lime green paper. The comic page features a spread of one of the main characters decked out in spiky hair and goth J-Rock garb rocking out, while proclaiming "MUSIC IS MY LIFE!!"

a photo of a closeup on another page of the comic, featuring the other main character - a nervous and injured fae who is lost in the woods. a snippet of the comic panel of the fae's interior thoughts reads: "At least try to use your wits while you still have them!"

a photo of the back cover of the comic - a mirror to the front cover, it depicts the goth mage's computer terminal surrounded by wax candles and her homunculus pet. Her hands are poised lightly clasped in front of the keyboard, in a manner which suggests she is in control of the situation and pleased with it.

at the top of the back cover are accolades for the comic:

"i was screaming throughout this whole comic" - kris mukai, commuter

"isn't this truly the duality of man? a sexy neopet rp persona and a teen j-rock nerd? ... highly recommend that everyone should read this" - sloane leong, prism stalker

"this spoke to me in a lot of different ways... i just love this comic a lot" - leslie hung, snotgirl

WINNER - best autobio comic - 2022 salt & honey minicomics awards

Just as a reminder, genAI images and videos aren't bad because they look bad. How close they get to the real thing is irrelevant. The reason they're bad is because ultimately genAI exists to put the creative process itself into the hands of corporations instead of actual creatives.

PMC COVlD Update, Week of Aug 29, 2026 ▪️Outbreaks in 29 states/territories (see Alt) ▪️A projected 13th wave is under way ▪️1 in 95 Americans estimated actively infectious ▪️Peak anticipated around Labor Day THREAD 🧵(1/4)

The US has at least 29 states/territories with COVlD outbreaks. These include much of Hawai’i, Alaska, Washington, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Guam, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Maine.
There are likely outbreaks in additional states. The summary statistic of 29 only includes counties with observed data, rather than estimated data. All of the data in Oregon are at least a week old, and while we do not count the state among the 29, we estimate there are likely outbreaks there as well, given proximity to WA, CA, and NV. Levels in some Texas counties are so high – on par with the national peak of BA.1 Omicron – that it drives up estimates for counties in neighboring states that lack CDC wastewater monitoring systems. Looking closely at the map, notice other instances of Very High counties in one state driving up estimates of an adjacent county in a neighboring state that lacks data. This shows a clear value of the county-level map over the CDC state map. The CDC applies the median level to the entire state. The PMC map recognizes that state boundaries are somewhat artificial with regard to the spread of infectious disease and instead offers localized estimates for counties that lack data based on what is happening in their region.

Comics tabling post! I will be tabling at @milkcomicfest.bsky.social, Pretty Good Fest and Comic Arts LA later this year - come say hello and get some comics! 🐊

A digital illustration of a sleek menu laid on top of a fancy silver table setting with dark red tablecloth, serving as an announcement flyer for where I will be doing comics tabling at later this year. The menu reads: "illomati - chef du comics - Barbara Benas - 2026 - fall tabling events - MILK - Milwaukee .... September 26th - Pretty Good Fest - Chicago .... October 24th - Comic Arts LA - Los Angeles .... December 12-13th. There is an ambiguous red stain on the bottom of the menu.

I don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want this to be standard. I’ve had at least five or six friends whose parent has gone into the hospital for an injury or a minor issue and died two weeks later from a hospital-acquired infection.

It's never too late to start masking again! We've known that conventions and fests are superspreader events for decades, you don't have to get sick! COVID is still here and leaving so many disabled people isolated from most public spaces. If you don't want that to happen to you, wear a mask!

Storyboard artists, often closest and most integral to realizing a director's vision, are a relatively cheap part of the process. Often their role is disparaged, or not even understood. And yet one of the main goals of AI in film production seems to be to replicate what they do.

a new mini-zine on milkweed! if you live in the US, southern Canada or Mexico, this is for you (download is in the link, plus a lineart version if you wanna do some coloring 🐛 ) tinyurl.com/yrnn2cd8

the front and back cover of a illustrated zine.

front text: "milkweed planting 101!" "Mariah-Rose Marie & mariah-rose.com" amidst a bunch of milkweed plants, a monarch butterfly, a sweat bee, a sphinx, moth, and other pollinators native to the western US. Up front and center is a cute monarch butterfly caterpillar with their mouth full, framed by a milkweed leaf with huge bite marks out of it.

back text: "when native plants disappear, so do pollinators… but we can bring them back, one plant at a time." In smaller text, it says "much love to Mariposa Arts Council, Mariposa Native Plant Nursery, and the Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation for their support and making this zine."
All amidst a similar illustrated scene, but as a ghostly silhouette. only dotted outlines of milkweed plants and the pollinators that visit them are there, as if they have been cut out of the page.
