This week you can find The Scale of a Man, my illustrated reflection on craft, grief, and inheritance, on @therumpus.net. Thank you @marinaomi.bsky.social for believing in this piece and getting it further into the world. Read the whole thing here: therumpus.net/2026/10/13/t...
The Scale of a Man, by Lucy Bellwood. In clean, black and blue artwork, a small man in plaid stands between two incoming waves, looking up at a model tall ship in a glass case.Two hands, drawn in clean, black and blue artwork, hold a pen above a penciled page in progress showing a boat and colonists in pencil. The narration says "Okay, Lucy. You can do this."The previous pencilled page is now fully rendered in black and blue. A square rigged sailing ship plunges through the sea in the top panel. It's December, 1732. The merchantman Anne is somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic, bound for Yamacraw Bluff. A colonial family look toward the horizon. She carries 114 souls under the leadership of General James Oglethorpe. These English colonists will populate the future state of Georgia. Most survive the crossing, but some do not. The last image of the page shows two small, shrouded bodies plunging below the waves.General Oglethorpe, in wig and greatcoat, writes at a desk on January 13th, 1733. "We have lost none of our people except the youngest son of Richard Cannon, aged eight months, and the youngest son of Robert Clarke, aged one year and an half. Those were so far gone that all our efforts to save them were in vain." In a similar posture, Lucy sits at her drawing table, a hole cut clean through her chest with the light from her anglepoise lamp shooting through it to illuminate a small box of ashes on the table behind her. Narration reads: My dad died while I was working on this comic. I should probably mention that up front. It's impossible to make anything right now that's not full of his absence. In the panel below, the colonists are now in a small rowboat, headed for the distant coast. The colonists' story rolls on, full of the stuff of textbooks. But I can't stop thinking about those two boys.

a comic strip. The first panel shows a goblin in a long coat approaching a guard. The second panel has the goblin saying "we're just normal men!". The third panel has the guard replying "what do you mean normal men?". The fourth panel shows both the goblin in the coat and the guard. The coat is beginning to open to show many goblins within. The guard looks suspicious and a goblin emerging from the coat is saying "We're just innocent men!"

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."
HOW TO LOOK AT ART by Lynda Barry

In the first panel, a dog-headed woman, a mother, looks at a painting in the "Madonna with Baby Jesus" vein. A small blobby child is standing next to her.

Mother: IM NOT SURE HOW TO LOOK AT ART.
Child: WHATS SPOSTA HAPPEN?

In the second panel the dog-headed mother holds up her hands (paws?) trying to explain to the child.

Mother: SOMETHING BIG. A REVELATION.
SUDDENLY YOU JUST UNDERSTAND.

In the third panel dog-headed mother goes back to looking at the painting. The child holds up their arms to be lifted.

Mother: NOT SURE HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
Child: HOW BOUT LIFT ME UP SO I CAN SEE BETTER

In the last panel, the dog-headed mother is holding the child, their position mirrored by the Madonna and baby Jesus in the painting.
