Three panel comic. Panel 1: a guy is putting on his jacket, getting ready to leave his apartment. He says, “gonna go get some ice cream.” Panel 2: the guy peeks around a corner into another room in his apartment. In the room, there is a monkey with glowing eyes floating in a large, shimmering, blue tube and some unusual technology lining the walls. The guy asks, “you want anything, omniscient monkey in hypersleep?” Panel 3: answering his own question, the guy scoffs, “psh! Duh… banana flavor.”

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a man is standing in front of an older gentleman walking his dog in the park. The man, making a friendly gesture towards the little white dog, asks, “does he bite?” The older man replies, “no.” Panel 2: the little dog grabs the first man’s hand with his paw and gives the back of his hand a sensual smooch. Panel 3: the man pulls his hand back in disgust.

Doctor Octopus who genuinely loves octopuses crouches on a rocky shore as several pink octopuses cling to him and his long mechanical suit arms; caption reads: "It really wasn't about the suit, or Spider-man, or any of it. He just legit loved octopuses. And they loved him."

Three panel comic. Panel 1: two raccoons are sitting at a table with a bunch of podcast recording equipment. Raccoon one says into the microphone, “you gotta cut the negativity out of your life.” Panel 2: raccoon replies, “facts” Panel 3: raccoon 1 continues with his hands clasped together to capture the sincerity of his monologue, “that way you have more time to eat garbage.” Raccoon 2 contributes, “that’s facts”

Really enjoyed Spider-man Brand New Day. I'm a lifelong Spider-Boy so the Holland movies are designed just for me, but I'll always be salty with Sony for pissing away Kraven in their dopey spinoff. Kraven's Last Hunt is probably Spider-man at its best and we'll never get it in the MCU.

💫 Hi! I wrote a little thing about Moose Kid Comics, the children’s anthology we put together ten years ago. (Which you can still read online or as PDFs here www.moosekidcomics.com)
We're somewhere around the ten year
anniversary of MOOSE KID COMICS, so I thought what better time to revisit one of the things I'm proudest of.
Moose Kid was born out of a need to get more children's comics off the ground (ten years ago was a real wasteland, not like now) and I had: Some Strong Ideas.
So I enlisted the help of an absolute wishlist of incredible comic artists - from well established pros to webcomic creators and everyone in between, and together we made Moose Kid Comics.
Three issues and a Christmas special. All on big, newspaper print, lovely quality. Genuinely, some of the most wonderful children's comics are in there, every artist gave their time for free, and you can even read the entire run either online or as PDFs, just google Moose Kid Comics.
As for the printed editions, we ran a fundraiser (smashed it), and printed many, many hundreds of copies to send to children's hospitals. We did a really good thing, and every artist involved was a vital part of that.
That aside, we did get some interest from publishers (came to nowt), and I know some of the artists got work out of it too. In the end I had to fold it, it was just taking too much time to bring together.
But we proved a point. We made our own comic. And it was really, really good.

Actually, on the subject of comics in the classroom: One big hurdle I’ve found is teachers lacking confidence in drawing. I cannot recommend Ed Emberley’s how to draw books enough for this. He has a whole range, but Make A World & Faces are the two I’d start with.

Really enjoying the first few issues of Absolute Batman. It has none of the grim-dark for grim-dark sake vibe I was worried it would have and their decision to make Bruce look as childlike as possible when out of costume makes his one man war seem even more overwhelming.

Wrong turn (1/3)
Page 1 of comic. A village of alien denizens on a planet with a massive black hole in place of a sun. Narrative text reads: We were a peaceful folk. Every day, we’d rise and sing to our sun. Until one day…Page 2. Narrative reads: “It sang back.” A neon blue green comet flies out from the black hole, impossibly. The aliens stare up at the sky.
