@michaelhobbes.bsky.social I can’t get either of your recent shows to play on any pod catcher on any of my devices! Is this a known issue or a personal problem for me to work through?

Happy “book birthday” to REEL LIFE! 1: My first attempt at a cover design, which the Scholastic team reasonably thought was too emo. I like it as a drawing though. 2: A “deleted scene” from my original pitch. I wanted a runner about a weird kid named Aiden who’s perpetually offscreen.

As a European I agree with Mark. It is dangerously complacent jingoism to think that it's "being European" that protects us rather than superior political institutions.

I read it! Liked it! An extra good read for any young person in your life navigating a divorce, and perhaps EVEN MORE SO if a young person has a friend or acquaintance their age who is navigating a divorce. So basically, any young person in the world today. Solid storytelling-two thumbs up ✍️🥸👍

“Lemonade” A new one page comic from the world of REEL LIFE.

Panel 1

Galen and Luna at a lemonade stand. A customer eyes the stand.

CUSTOMER
Aren't you two a little old for a lemonade stand?

LUNA
It's not a "lemonade stand" per se...it's more of a meta commentary on suburban America.

Panel 2

Luna

LUNA
Do you want it MORE if I tell you we made it ourselves our is that disgusting?
Do I look like someone you would buy lemonade from?

PANEL 3

Customer

LUNA
Is buying drinks off the street from a stranger acceptable in our current political environment?

Panel 4

Customer walks away. Galen looks at the cup he's holding.

LUNA
Perhaps we need to rethink our marketing strategy.

GALEN
I think we forgot to add sugar.

I'm not really involved in "mainstream" comics (DC, Marvel, etc) either professionally or as a fan, but is there, like, a movement to get DC Comics to stop employing Chuck Dixon, a proud champion of fascist violence? They cancelled Gretchen Felker-Martin for far less.

Anyone out there familiar with Highland Pro? It’s TWICE deleted all of the writing in a document for no apparent reason, wiping hours of work. Does this happen to other people?

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

The cover spread from a one page zine printout. The left (back cover) features images of a scale and gavel, with notes on First Amendment and filming rights, and the advice to “shut the fuck up.”

On the right is the cover, a megaphone with the title text “PROTEST SAFELY.” Behind it are faceless protestors. The subtitle notes, “A brief collection of tips from around the internet.”

A spread from one page zine printout.
On the left is an illustration of a protestor with the title “What to Wear,” including a helmet, goggles, ear plugs, gloves, a mask, a backpack, and layers/long sleeves/pants. Each have additional notes explaining their use.

On the right is “What to Bring,” featuring illustrations of a backpack, money, water bottles, a mask, a granola bar and bag of trail mix, a first aid kit, folded shirt and pants, and an ID, with “DIY Defense” listed underneath it showing one protestor using a luggage case, one holding a trash can lid, and one using an open umbrella as a shield.

A spread from one page zine printout.
On the left is “Protect Your Identity,” advising to cover up identifying features, avoiding photography of protesters, deactivating biometric phone-unlocking tools, and writing emergency contact and counsel numbers on your arm.

On the right is “Be Like Water,” the motto of the 2019 Hong Kong protests, and the text “BEWARE THE BAIT” with images of a palette of bricks and a masked man holding a crowbar toward a protestor with a sign, “Psst, free crowbar?” encouraging the reader not to engage with traps and undercover agents.

A spread from one page zine printout featuring the hazards of protest opposition, including tear gas, rubber bullets, and LRAD sound cannons and flash bangs. Caution tape images accompany the text explaining the dangers of each, how to flush out eyes that have been maced/etc, and how to extinguish a gas canister with a traffic cone.
