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.

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

Hi @andyrichter.co - its been a while since I've seen it (hence the search for where to rewatch) but is "Dutton Ranch" really the show MOST LIKE "Andy Controls the Universe", or just like 80%?

THIS was another one of the foundational world building elements of #SurvivalStreet 's end-stage capitalism DYSTOPIA. I WOULD LIKE OUR PESSIMISTIC SATIRE TO STOP COMING TRUE

INCREDIBLY EXCITING that the first comic WRITTEN WITH MY KIDS was nominated for the EISNER AWARDS! NOT EXCITING: One page of the 200+ was apparently done with AI in attempt to mimic original creator Fletcher Hanks' bizarre style.

Posing in an excited selfie with my son and young daughter, holding a copy of STARDUST The Super Wizard anthology - featuring Mike Allred's cover of the stern super hero floating in purple cosmic space. Text on the side calls out the book's Eisner Award nomination for Best Anthology, and our story's credits: Written by James Asmus, Devlin (at age 9), and Irie (at age 5) - Art by Tony Gregori - Letters by Taylor Esposito

Im not shaking my fist at clouds. I think the breadth, depth, and vision of comics today are so much richer and more surprising. But I wish this was still a part of that tapestry

If you're looking to get comics for a kid (or yourself!) my daughter just devoured MR MUFFINS DEFENDER OF THE STARS and told me she loved it, it's really cute, has a good ending, and that alien on the cover is her favorite character. So nice work, @benkahncomics.bsky.social !

Dear Creators sweating Haters, There are almost 900 humans on a single site who chose to 1* trash-talk the original HOUSE ON POOH CORNER -- so, empirically, there is no pleasing some people.

Lynch gave the creative world, and open-minded humans so much fuel for thought, growth, and the full spectrum of emotion But I've been acutely grateful for him giving the mantra that crystallized the equally mounting empathy and rage I've felt in adulthood
