More THE NICE GUYS doodles. It came out 10 years ago this week. It was the first movie I saw in theatres after moving to Chicago, which means I moved to Chicago 10 years ago, and I feel very normal about that. Anyway if we can't get a sequel can I have money to draw their further adventures.

This strip is not in Nerd Inferno (it was done for my Patreon). There still may be a Dork #12 some day. Or not. I'm tired.

A comic strip about Edgar Allan Poe. You don't want to know.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

A lot of streaming shows seem stretched out, padding the narrative with flashbacks and backstory as they make their slow slog to the closing credits. Episodes of The Pitt, on the other hand, always end way too soon.

My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.

I don't want you to separate me and my art. Art. Artist. Same dude. If I ever milkshake duck on y'all & start saying some wild ass hateful shit, please, for the love of God, throw out my books. Put my DVDs in the microwave just to be sure. I won't be the guy who wrote them anymore. Art IS the artist

Uhhhh chat does this mean this was real after all cause it’s pretty much the same thing??

A screenshot meme from the game final fantasy tactics of a character Wiegraf saying ‘If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.’ Often quoted on social media, but it was made by a leftist as a joke that went out of control and became near canon

Soubhiye, from Lebanese Arabic, is the enjoyment of a quiet moment of peace before everyone else is awake. Gökotta is a Swedish term for waking up early to enjoy the birdsong. For the rest of us, there is hurkle-durkling, from Scots: lingering in bed long after it’s time to get up.

in so much news coverage there’s still this sense of propriety and decorum in the face of an outright assault on our civil and human rights. i just want to remind journalists that your politeness will not save you—so you might as well say what you really mean.

On the other site, Studio Ghibli-style AI output is going viral and allow me to just say it is profoundly depressing to see that stuff being used to promote OpenAI's latest product. Miyazaki famously called AI-produced art "an insult to life itself"—and this in turn is an insult to him.

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.
