I am looking forward to the delicious feast of crow that will be happening on the comics internet in the near future. What, not hungry? But you were so vociferous when you ordered off the menu!

There is a new Animal Crossing update coming out. I have no social life & am very depressed, so this is literally THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED.

This is Row and Mr Jingles. They look a little different and don't have much in common. But like all good friends, still find a way to see eye to eye. 13/10 for both #SeniorPupSaturday (courtesy Martin Critchlow)

What movie did you see way too young? Day of the Locust. I was 7. I have no idea what the fuck my parents were thinking. This scene STILL traumatizes me. Like, I think about it TO THIS DAY. youtu.be/wjgA-ToMdvQ?...

Last weekend CBS Sunday Morning featured a segment on Barbara Shermund, one of the first women cartoonists for The New Yorker and other major magazines from the 1920s to the 1960s. Truly, it is quite a story, well worth a watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlCr...

I just discovered that there is a lake in Palau that is full of jellyfish who have NO STINGERS. They have no predators in the lake, so they just bloop around eating algae. I WANT TO PLAY BUMPER CARS WITH FRIENDLY JELLIES.

i struggle with a brain that wants to stiffly copy whatever reference i'm using and one thing i've found helpful:
1. draw big blocky shapes over the reference
2. turn off ref and redraw big blocky shapes
3. draw in figure with big blocky shapes overlaid

in a separate window ive redrawn the red blocks, then have drawn details over the red blocks, using the photo+red transparency as reference

I lived next door to Victor in the Lower Haight in the 90s. He was a motherfucking piece of work, lemme tell you. Ran a chop shop out of his tiny garage, people broke into our house via his (we were connected by an air shaft).

we could all have enough. everyone. everywhere. certain people made choices that we shouldn't. that's why we live like this. when you understand this, the world will change for you in some ways, and remain the same in others. but poverty and hunger and homelessness are policy choices. not inevitable
