Comic buds, how's the comic scene on here? I've fallen behind on the times, help me catch up. Is this where everyone hangs out now?

Glad I finally read The World is a Funny Page I & II by @nicorodriguez.bsky.social Super dynamic and has a lot of fun visuals, the COLORS really shine! Definitely some of Nico's best stuff yet! There's a flashback in Part II, just a small moment but resonates deeply for me 🥲

The World is a funny Page. Part I. Tom Graveless stands in the foreground, classic paintings displayed behind him

The World is a Funny Page Part II. Impressionistic Tom Graveless

The wheel of emotions after watching the Rockets in the playoffs this year. The same can be said about watching the NBA draft lottery. Oof.

A comic series called SPEAR set in the world of Genndy's PRIMAL... I had a blast with this page. What do you guys think? Fun idea? I know that I'd read the heck out of it! Finished page-->thumbnail

Only you can write and draw that comic you’ve been dreaming about making. So do it and be proud of the book you make.

The World Is a Funny Page is the comic series that I've been working on for the last year. After MONTHS of mulling over it, I have landed on the best descriptive analogy for the book. It’s artsy Indiana Jones. Pulp adventure, art crimes, surrealism, detective-craft, and more. Comics are the best.

Robot Tod by @farel.bsky.social is a beautiful comic and needs to be on your pull list. Run to your LCS and snag it ASAP I had so much fun with the book. Here's a doodle of ol' Toddy boy. I talk more about the comic in this week's newsletter. Link in comments!

I've often said that if I could contribute to one franchise it'd be PLANET OF THE APES. Fell in love with the movies when I was just a wee lad, and I love the new ones. Can't wait for what's to come after KINGDOM. It's a franchise that keeps on giving! Here's a sketch of my guy Dr. Zaius.

From “Donut & The Cheeseburger”, a comic I published in 2024 as the campaign began, but some of it still feels relevant.

Blockhead is the BEST comics podcast out there. Host and artist @geoffgcomics.bsky.social talks to cartoonists and has lovely conversations. It's my favorite thing to listen to when I'm drawing or when I'm daydreaming about going home and working on comics. Creators/fans - check out Blockhead ASAP!

Phantom Road by Jeff Lemire and Gabriel Walta is, as the kids say, a BANGER. A slow-burning, surreal horror-fantasy with down right beautiful art. Check it out. Here's a drawing of the nightmarish walkers that infiltrated my dreams after reading volume 1.
