just got the update and the main thing I do not understand is why they decided to change links in the autocomplete bar from blue, universal computer for 'this is a link', to purple, universal computer for 'this is a link you've clicked'. technically true but really distracting!

UGH,,, so good and painful. I love all the little lived-in details; reminds me of a feeling I remember moving out and living alone for the first time, of coming back to everything exactly how you left it, no one else moving through this space. awaiting the next....

This is such a great selection of panels to get intrigued by...I really love how you draw the tension in Majima, he's so Coiled Up in every panel haha. The little bit of shading under the stacked speech bubbles is such a fun touch too!

getting even slightly into dragon ball fighter z helped me chill out in my biotech year, because the jargon got me into a habit where i'd start a textbook paragraph and go "i don't understand this. oh well, i'll keep reading and i'll get it eventually, just like with krillin's rock toss mixup"

there's a moment from a kickstarter nonstarter where a guy's trying to get money for a meet n fuck style game; slowbeef goes "look, for ten grand you can meet him!" and you go "JUST meet?". this riff has lived in my head for nine years at this point

one of my favorite things ever about jojo was picking up the manga for part 5 and seeing the protagonist be introduced by doing a trick that involves tucking his whole ear into his ear canal. "ah, a clue to his stand!" I thought. no he can just do that, it's completely unrelated

Today is my BIRTHDAYYY and I am cashing in on my right to be annoying AF about my webcomic!! Action, drama, comedy, werewolf politics, vampire ennui, and a big sexy hairy blossoming gay romance between two losers. Plus a lil weird girl who loves to be dead! Read SILVER & IRON today! You have to.
Page from chapter one with a werewolf racing around an alley corner chasing an inky half-fish-skeleton monster creature. "I am a Bloodright werewolf of the Lovell family, twenty generations strong! And I'm proud of it! Even if it's weird!"Little girl who appears unconscious, her right arm and part of her skull magically exploding to reveal the sinew, musculature and bone underneath as it repairs itself.A different absolutely massive werewolf smirking as he smacks two other werewolves out the way, then leaps to the ground on top of them, asking of two onlookers: "Okay. If I ask nicely, will you tell me who hired you? Or am I gonna ask meanly?"Brightly coloured page of panels of different sizes with the text "are we flirting?" running behind them. Two men, one blond and bearded, the other with messy black hair and red eyes, are sitting close to each other with drinks in hand. "Not just for that night. For everything. You've done a lot for us that you didn't have to. I feel like I need to... repay you." Blond man: [His skin is so cold, but so soft. It's nothing like a cadaver.] (Smiling) "Yeah? Repay me how?" Other man: "However you want."

I would also love to be there but depends on what time it is, I'm in UTC+1 so if it's early in the day I will be Snoozing 😭

oh man I would be super interested in both! I love your One Piece doodles so much but Silver and Iron....I guess the main thing with One Piece is getting a wider variety of characters, everyone's someone's blorbo

this reminds me of when this got brought up on twitter and someone mentioned an anecdote with "dentist said my teeth were great but brought in a gum specialist who immediately said my gums needed complete overhaul" which got the reply "car horn guy reports urgent lack of la cucaracha"

UGH the sad little "forgot" before the next page.....killing me they have such a cute dynamic 😭 really poignant Sorrel info, I love the background and Heliotrope's "is that a slur" is so funny. "you have the pass I just want to know if I shouldn't be saying it to other people 😔"

I must be honest: i was only aware of the civilization advisor council from another post joking about it in an AI agent context I found really funny. the fact that this is the hittest tweet I've ever had cements the reputation of the most 38-year-old website

...and the main comic I'm working on right now is an enormous spoiler for the game I'm aforementionedly hyperfixating on OTL I really want to put more practice into rendering and clarity, but whenever I have an idea for a gag or sequence I want to make it Visible And Existent so quickly haha

😭 thank you, I really appreciate it! The main comics batch I have is from a few years back where I only ever showed them to a specific extremely good friend, and they're so unbelievably sketchy because the main priority was getting them out as fast as possible while being readable...

I've also been thinking about your art criticism, since I've really been wanting to try some digital painting where colors and backgrounds are a turbo weak spot of mine; I may hit you up for feedback if that's alright!

a month should be plenty of time for me to expunge roughly two dozen little comics and become normally fit for computer activities again 😌

done and done but man I'm sorry, it's so hard to find a reliable art hosting platform that won't fall to link rot or get dumped by its stewards 5 years onwards :( I have a week of hyperfixating ahead of me but have been thinking about website sketches, just say the word in case you want to tinker! 🪲

Happy birthday! Read this shortly after I read Matched Set and it was similarly great, the alternation between sexy scenes and poses and Majima being drawn as a scrunched up little matchstick goblin/voyeur Gollum got me every time

While looking up the cast for drawing reference I have discovered there is not one but two purported Mermaid Mask 'fanwikis' that are fully AI-generated in both code and writing and half hallucinated? why two when just the one would be enough to condemn any man to hell??

that said it is funny that like ME, YESTERDAY: I have so many ideas for slice-of-life fanart and comics, everyone's so good and charming! ME RN: the greed of man must ever be tempted by the incomprehensible. the mortal mind is bound by mortal folly. we envy the dead; they know the truth

I have an enormous amount of respect for how they do not shy away from the implications presented by the narrative conceit, I feel like some character-heavy mysteries will try to find a way to lighten the load of the murder in the third act, but they stick the landing in ways that corkscrew my brain

just finished playing the mermaid mask and i am insane. I'm sick and crazy. what a tremendous experience. game that brings out an oft-absorbed and seldom-enacted set of tumblr mannerisms. There are lines in this game that make me rotate at 3600 rpm

I would like to reply again to thank you personally for the Mermaid Mask PSA. i played two sessions with a friend, became insane about it, bought the bundle and am currently playing it with another friend and am so so excited about uncovering the rest of the game

😭 HE'S SO CUTE WITH HER i love how obliging he is...what if you had a real life vampire to model your oc fashions on.... I love the panel transition with boots on the ground and the interweaving speech bubbles too, it's a really cute, playful way to mark the passing of both distance and time!

Ys! I have fond memories of a friend livestreaming a remake of the first one and having me translate the Japanese, which led to a bit where a character translates an old tablet and me going "she's saying something about..."it says something about doom..." no, wait, a prophecy..."no, a destiny...""

this is tangential but reminded me of when i needed a stock photo of mormons, which, as it turned out, returned an incredible amount of ai-generated mormon media. i was particularly fond of this one where the homeowning lady is watching outside, perhaps to go "ah, i see, so that's how you do it"

SO COOL, OH MY GOD. I really love getting to see other supernatural elements coming in, I never expected to see ghosts in this and it's handled in such a cool way.....I love Clem's 'adjudicator' line, the implication of inexplicable paranormal judiciary, and the rules of questions for questions

it's interesting that Homer's job and degree of earning would ordinarily classify him as a white-collar professional, it's just that he's dumb and a family man. feels interesting that both homer and peter reflect a sense of 'as long as you're stupid and have a family you're working class at heart'

On the one hand I'm very "heck yeah just do it" when it comes to creative projects, but getting stuff up while it's still undercooked is so risky if you don't know how to let go...I wish everyone the peace to salvage the bones of their last projects and put cooler meat on it

thinking about it, I had a grand middle school story I was attached to too, and I think the big difference was I never put any of it up online. I can imagine that getting even one reader makes it really easy to sunk cost into "I am letting down someone else and my past self if I don't complete this"

When looking up examples the main thing I found for people going "this is my counterpoint when people say Togashi is a bad artist" and showing a few extremely detailed panels, I think powerscaling just breaks your capacity to engage with art outside of quantizing into metacritic scores

notebooked.bsky.social @notebooked.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
I didn't recognize the names offhand but after realizing oh my god 😭 togashi? with that line confidence? with those textures and pose dynamism? with various contrasting styles to emphasize points? with the flow? with those expressions? togashi???

It's so good!! When I first watched it I got completely transfixed by the setting having this mix of giant bombastic mecha, shinto monk magic, ancient warriors and superpowered corporate villains. A crossover-style "I see, so that's how things work in your universe" wouldn't hit nearly as hard

kind of a cheat answer since the source material is so wide, but: Giant Robo: the Day the Earth Stood Still is based on almost every work in mitsuteru yokoyama's career. It treats these seamlessly as part of the same setting, uses the material to make a harrowing plot about war, and kicks ass

notebooked.bsky.social @notebooked.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
I check back occasionally and it's like, the story is a mishmash of new characters they got enamored with suddenly, the pacing is very off, there are maybe five pages a year, and the writing hasn't developed with them at all...at some point you just gotta let go

notebooked.bsky.social @notebooked.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
MAN. the last time you mentioned this I thought about how there was a webcomic I liked in middle school, and that the author said they had the story all written out and would do it no matter what, which was the coolest thing to me in the world back then; having that clarity of purpose!
