Remembering the incredible Ramona Fradon, who would have been 100 today. Trailblazer for women in comics, she co-created Metamorpho & had runs on AQUAMAN, PLASTIC MAN, SUPER FRIENDS, and a host of often gruesome DC horror tales, the latter which she called "a lot of fun." She died in February 2024.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

randomly dropping all my Art Fight attacks in two batches two weeks after it ended because I forget to share art and also I'm lazy and also the only thing I that really motivates me to post on public social sites is wanting to spread my Draw Old People propaganda to a wider audience

Kind of forgot to make an Art Fight thread so I'll start it under here, thing is my first attack was on "Male Pattern Baldness" in which case we were invited to draw our own oc balding. So this is my character David as prompted by AF user aerospaze
An anthro rabbit sitting and reading a book. With his head bowed, you can see that his hairline is receded and that he has a bald spot in his hair.

Of course, we can’t forget the other examples, like Junior from the 60’s, his adopted daughter Edwina from the 2000’s, and Pado from the 2010’s, as well as Plas generally loving kids and wanting to be a father, from all the way back in the 40’s!

visible: drawing the picture invisible: research! with retro art styles, learning just who you’re imitating and what inspired them helps so much. and beyond individual artists, things like material restraints and social movements also have a lot of impact… i ❤️ historical context

With deafening sound, whisper "I love you"
A digital painting of two anthro characters, a badger, Marc, and a macaque, Kaz. Marc, painted in shades of dark gray, is holding the other and looking down at his face with a yearning expression. Kaz, painted in shades of red that distort and become part of the background, has closed eyes and a neutral expression. Also painted in red is a harness around Kaz's head and another around Marc's chest.

"there's only two! you can't change! it's biological truth!" but that's where you're wrong. we exist, we belong, and babe - i'm living proof. ------ #furryart #gatorpondart
digital illustration of an anthro bobcat character giving a serene, happy smile beneath the brim of a baseball cap the color of the trans pride flag. the image cuts off just enough to show a glimpse of their expression, most of the face above the nose outside the frame. the focus of the piece is their torso, showing trans masc top surgery scars and a bandaid on the abdomen showing where they've done their testosterone injection. the bandaid is the color of the 9-stripe pride flag created by Gilbert Baker. they're wearing a very small pair of shorts the color of the bisexual pride flag, showing off their body hair. sparkles frame their body, focusing around one hip and their surgery scars. the fur on their body is mostly a warm brown with darker brown points and light cream markings. the background is a warm sunset gradient. over the character, the words "living proof" are written in white.

“Hello, DC Comics writer. Before you is a typewriter. Write a story featuring Plastic Man that doesn’t rehash his origin, rehash the question on if he’s changed, and/or rehash the joke that he’s not actually funny.”
Jigsaw’s puppet. Named Billy I guess. I read this was supposed to be, like, for Jigsaw’s kid he never had. What kind of parent would get ANYTHING like this for their kid? Even if it’s been repainted to be scary it’s still freaky as heck

I forget where I read it but someone said modern creators completely missed what made Plas work: He was the straight guy reacting to the craziness around him. When you make him overly zany it either falls flat because it's not actually funny or it wears thin fast. He's not supposed to be The Mask.

You really do lose a lot of the character when he’s in those team books precisely because the nuance of “Woozy Winks is the silly one, Chief Branner is the serious one, Plastic Man ends up being in the middle” is just gone.
