I think I finished a Tale today. Need to sleep on it, and probably tweak the art a little.

For both of you who've been wondering about the status of JAQrabbit Tales: I'm still working on it! Depression, lack of funds to hire artists, and getting hit by a truck have all taken a toll on my productivity, but I am still writing and drawing new Tales.

Bisexuality is confusing to many people... including bi people. Like... when and how do you tell your date about it? A straight boy doesn't have to explain his sexual history to a girl before bumping fun bits with her, but apparently he's expected to do that if that includes boys. #Bi #QueerComix

This tale was conceived as a pun and a challenge: do a story that consisted entirely of talking heads. In addition to being one of the most innovative bands of the 1980s, “talking heads” is also disparaging term for a comics scene that consists of nothing but close-ups of people in conversation...

Many Democratic politicians have forgotten that leaders can shape public opinion, rather than just always follow it. Republicans learned this lesson over a decade ago. Elected officials should not be a moving polling average. They should be humans with values and willing to stand up for them.

One of the challenges of this series has been matching the art with the tone of the Tales. One way I've done that has been collaborating with other artists, but funds and opportunities for that are limited. The tales involving "Sir" have been some of the biggest stretches for me...

I started a new Tales script a couple days ago: a coming-of-age lost-innocence episode. Last night I got kinda drunk and figured out how it ends. Reading it today, I think it's super hot. But on my walk I realized it's basically "Breaking Bad". Not actually the same story...

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.

When I first published this story, a few months into posting installments of the series, "Scout" kinda surprised some people, who thought I was just doing a straightforward Gay Porn Comic. Nope. Sexuality doesn’t fit into neat little categories—mine especially—and... #QueerComix #GayComics

This is one of several Tales drawn by Rick Worley, whose series “A Waste of Time” told me that he would be an ideal artist to draw a gaggle of track-and-field boys, and that he had the storytelling chops for a story without any dialog. I was never an athlete in school (team sports are toxic)...

One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative ‘AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/

For me, the most difficult comix scenes to script are oral sex scenes. Which isn't hard to understand if you've ever had a partner ask you a question when you obviously have your mouth full. You have to either stop what you're doing or hold your answer for later....

The Wikipedia article about cartoonist Belasco has been tagged for deletion. This *probably* isn't motivated by the fact he's gay or African American... there are just lots of Wikipedia editors who think it has too many biographic articles, and suspicious about anybody they've never heard of...

With Comixology getting dragged even farther into you-don't-own-the-stuff-you-buy territory, Sweet Shop looks like an appealing alternative. The developer has all the right priorities: making this for the love of comics. And the fact they've struck a deal with Image gives it credibility....

In semi-fictionalizing myself online, one of my favorite recurring jokes is that Jonny Quest is my cousin. I’ve had the idea for this sexy “crossover” for a long time, and at one point I had a really great Hanna-Barbera-style artist lined up, but that went nowhere. So I’ve decided to do it myself.

Looking for a script I could start and finish quickly, I noticed "A Fast One". Conveniently, it's only 4 pages long. Nonetheless, it's taken me a couple weeks to get it done: such is the level of my productivity in these anxious times. It features Jason's abusive dom client Sir, so....

JAQrabbit Tales @jaqrabbittales.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

I’ve been working a little on a “who’s who” of the various folks who appear in the Tales, and the idea for this piece featuring Vincent occurred to me. It rips off the background from that famous painter whose surname everyone outside the Netherlands mispronounces (both “go” and “goff” are wrong)...

Someone mentioned that "Dennis the Menace" is actually two distinct characters – who debuted the same day in the UK and the US – and I thought it would be fun to see these two menaces-to-society grow up a little and meet. #GayComics

This is a “crossover” of sorts. Off and on for years, my friend @jimmierobinson.bsky.social has produced a series of satirical stories about Bomb Queen, a sexy supervillain. I recently got it into my head that it would be fun for JAQ and BQ to meet. So I drew this.

I've considered getting rid of this account – devoted to my queer porn comix – and just using my personal account for both. The fact that BSky has just made it easy to switch between the two accounts on the Web interface has made me hesitate... for now. If you like my comix, follow my main account.

Scripting the first draft of a comix porn story isn't hard (except for it being... y'know: hard). Getting it to work well as a story is exactly the opposite.

I sometimes reference pop culture in the titles of my Tales, and when I do, I often appropriate logos for them. So for this one – about repeating a unwise hook-up with a guy named Oscar – I did this. But it crops the original illustrator's signature out, so I figured I should at least credit him.

Tantalus was a character in Greek mythology, who sinned against the Olympians. His greatest offense was to trick them into eating his own son by cutting him up and adding him to a stew. For this, he was condemned to spend eternity standing in a pool of water, with a fruit-bearing branch overhead...

I had an idea to add to one of my many in-progress scripts, but... I can't find it. It isn't even listed in the spreadsheet I use to keep track of Tales. The script (as I remember it) was pretty sketchy, so there isn't much to (re?)create, but this is the sort of thing I have anxiety dreams about.

This looks interesting! The photo comic is an underappreciated medium, probably because of what it's been used for, and the impression that it's cheap/lazy. It could be a great way to do autobio comics like this. I haven't used it for JAQrabbit Tales, for privacy reasons, but I've borrowed...

I tried making a feed that filters out Al crap, but since it includes literally *everything* else, it isn't very useful. Instead, try this "labeler", which is much more elegant solution: bsky.app/profile/aimo... There's also one for more traditional plagiarism: bsky.app/profile/artt...

I've decided to do a feature called "Who's Who in the JAQrabbit Tales" that identifies most of the recurring characters over the decades. Various people come and go and cum, and since I jump around from one decade to another, I figure this will help newcomers understand some of the context.

Here's a new Tale, a "quick" one-pager. Tales featuring Sir would usually require Bsky's strictest content labeling, but this one can get by with just a nudity tag. Likewise, it isn't a great introduction to the character or context, but that's a hazard of my trademark out-of-order tale-telling.

Dusk is settling in over the wilderness, and Kitt is kneeling, naked, to wash up in a shallow stream, while Chance is walking, also naked, toward him. You can see the top of their tent peaking up over the riverbank.
