The crusaders.

'We make LESS but things cost MORE!' says Girl. 'RETVRN!' cries a crusading Cat. 'To when we made less and things cost the same! Weather is spiraling out of control - with 2 degrees of warming baked in.' 'RETVRN!' cries Cat. 'To weather spiraling out of control with 1.5 degrees of warming baked in' says Girl. 'People aren't going to the emergency room because they're afraid of immigration-' 'RETVRN!' '-they should be NOT GOING because they CAN'T AFFORD IT! Leopards are eating my face=' 'RETVRN!' '- to when leopards were eating YOUR face!' 'RETVRN to 2015!' cries Cat. 'Sound the battle horn!' yells Girl. Cat plays a long golden horn, which blasts out the sound 'GOOD ENOUGH.' 'Now we just wait for an army to assemble,' says Cat. They wait.

it’s sword time

A young woman with a DIY looking mechanical arm holds a glowing sword out in front of her, the blade looks like its made from some kind of energy. Shes wearing a leather jacket and a cape. She seems serious but is probably cool if you get to know her.

It's heavy out there, so here's some zen. If I was bummed out, this guy could obliterate it in 2 seconds. He's not here anymore but can still do it 🙂

I was chatting with a student last week about some of the best ways to draw a thrown punch, then came across this tonight on a speed-read through old X-Men comics. Man, it doesn't get much better than Paul Smith/Bob Wiacek.

I've used Vistaprint for quick/cheap business cards, banners, etc for literally decades at this point and that is OVER. What a stupid decision on their part.

All dogs are the best dogs, but this guy was truly lightning in a bottle. Today is the anniversary of Fisher's adoption day. He went over the rainbow bridge a year go this Saturday after 19 (!!) years. He spit that spinach leaf out right after this. It was worth a try.

KING OF THE DEAD (1977) Gouache on illustration board - 24” x 14” I had the good fortune of working on Elric early in my career. The books by Michael Moorcock have proven to be enduring classics in fantasy. #art #booksky 🪐📚

Elric holds the slender black blade of Stormbringer as he turns in surprise toward a menacing skeletal figure. His gold cloak billows as he pivots, and the gold chain gripped in his other hand slackens as the ruby amulet bobs weightless with sudden motion. Arms flexed wide, the threatening figure grips a black trident. Beneath a horned helm, its skull is set in a deathly howl that exposes its fangs. With eyes flashing, a mass of figures skulk among smooth pillars in the background. Several of the ape-like humanoids flank Elric in the lower foreground.

A hero's final rest. #lego #bionicle

A colourful drawing of line art and watercolour of bionicle Toa Tahu. The Red Orange one. Resting against a tree in the woods. At his feet are the 5 masks of all the other original bionicles heroes. A Spot of sunshine comes through the trees. Wide enough to form a circle in the shape of Tahu and ailluminate him in the otherwise dark forest. Toa is covvered in rust and dust. Leafs spout from his shoulders and mask. His plating looks old and battered. One may wonder how long he has been here.

Hey, this is big and really important if you like comics even a little bit. Comixology was bought, enshittified, and killed by Amazon. But Sweetshop is open now. It's rad, and they're not assholes.

Sweet Shop is a fantastic digital comics retailer, and as of today, open to more than just beta testers! The app is solid, the ethos of the Sweet team is impeccable. If you’re looking to get your digital comics and don’t want to give money to Jeff Bezos, this is your new place!

For anyone leaving Tapas. Remember the website doesn’t have to be beautiful or perfect—if you’ve seen the sites kids read scanslations on, you’ll know the only thing that matters is the comic

FYI, from Toocheke. They added a Tapas migration feature.

A screenshot of an email that says

Import Your Tapas.io Comics Into WordPress
You may have seen the news about Tapas shutting down. If you or anyone you know publish there, you’re probably wondering what happens to all of your comics and years of work.

We’ve just added a new import feature to Toocheke Companion (available in version 2.23+) that can move an entire Tapas series into WordPress for you — including episodes, images, thumbnails, and original publish dates.

It keeps everything in order, so you don’t have to manually copy and paste hundreds of pages.

Hobbit Day (the shared birthday of the intergenerational Baggins boys) was yesterday, but I didn't post any hobbits! So here are some of the ones drawn up as part of the absurdly big LOTR set I've been doing this year, plus honorary hobbit Gandalf.

Watercolored drawings, with named bases, for the story-consequential hobbits present in the first half of FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, and also Gandalf.

Related to what I was saying yesterday about hosting your own shit. RSS is still a thing, it's still awesome, you should use it.

I have a lot of discussions with people who just don't believe individual action can have much of an impact even though world history is full of examples proving otherwise. By the way the two women who spearheaded this were Mary Manning and Karen Gearon. Nimrod Sejake was in Ireland in exile.

I've been saying "host your own shit" for two decades now. This is always the cycle: new shiny platform convinces artists to put their stuff there, locks them in, enshittifies, then shuts down, and everyone is all shocked and left scrambling. Every time. Host your own shit. It's not hard at all.

On this day 89 years ago, the finest of hobbits went on a most extraordinary adventure. Happy anniversary to The Hobbit, first published on September 21st 1937. I discovered it on my tenth birthday, it ignited my passion for fantasy storytelling! #tolkien #hobbit #bilbo #smaug #middleearth #noai

A photo of a sketch and an inked drawing of Bilbo Baggins holding his pipe in one hand and looking in wonder at a shiny ring that lays in the palm of his other hand.
