Hey comics artists: a new all-timer character design just dropped.
I honestly don't know how to explain.  Fascinating little powerhouse of a guy with truly unique hair / beard hyper-stylized combo

The double-take I just did at back to school night because I thought the book I passed said "Piss for Piñata"--🧐🫣
Cover of "P is for Piñata: a Mexican Alphabet" - what actually seems like a perfectly lovely picture book. The problem is my brain.

Our feature artist/tutorial for today is this WONDERFUL & ESSENTIAL page on the placement of BODY FAT on figures by the talented @marinscos! REAL BODY SHAPE VARIETY is a part of what makes us all beautiful, and that should be reflected in our art. I LOVE this. #ART #anime #ARTIST

Failed to post at the time, but Mara got me the piece of original comics art I most wanted: an excerpt from MADMAN COMICS #4 where Frank's thoughts turn to empathy and humanism even while fighting for his life. One of the most formative books for me, and maybe my platonic ideal of what comics can be
Original page of artwork from MADMAN COMICS #4 page 14 where Frank Einstein fights the Muscleman

Workers now produce roughly 40% more per hour than they did in the late 1990s. But we're not working shorter weeks, retiring earlier and living more comfortably asa result. Instead people are struggling to pay for the heating, food and bills at the same time. We're being robbed blind.

As a New Yorker who was here that day and who is really, really trying to avoid anniversary coverage this year--and who remembers his famous call in from ACROSS TOWN where he said he now had the tallest building in NYC--I am so enraged by this I think I temporarily went blind.

Mentioned this before but Tim Curry was the most lovely celebrity encounter I've had. He asked if he could take a few minutes to pet the dog I was holding for a friend outside a market. He opened up about having just lost his own dog and the emotionally fallout. Just human, vulnerable, & sincere.

It should have been $150,000 per title. It should have put Anthropic out of business and made me and other authors financially secure enough to keep writing and keep creating and keep fighting. We’re getting a token gesture. Anthropic won here. They pay a pittance (for them) and can do it again.

US inflation is the highest in the G7.
Line chart titled "The United States currently has the highest inflation in the G7" showing year-ended consumer price inflation rates across G7 countries. The United States leads at 3.5%, followed by Canada at 3.2% and Italy at 3.1%, while Japan has the lowest rate at 1.5%. The 2.0 percentage point gap between the highest and lowest rates reveals divergent price pressures among major advanced economies, with the US experiencing notably stronger inflation than its peers.
