My bag is packed for an appearance on a Banned Books Week panel at Literary Arts in Portland tomorrow, 10/6, at 6:30 pm. I'll be with @cfastwolf.bsky.social, @oneofthejohns.bsky.social, and Alicia Tate. Please join us if you're in the area! literary-arts.org/event/banned...
A photo of a tote bag that says, "READ QUEER BOOKS." Two postcards sit on top of the bag. One says, "Oppose the national book ban bills," and the other says, "Authors Against Book Bans."

Right?! Fun fact: It was a leftover technique Allie used on Budding Crisis, where she was also evoking older comics!!!

NOT A DUNK, SERIOUS ANSWER: $40 for a domain with certificate annually, $20 or $30 a month hosting, varies. Yes web design sucks hard, but it's achievable & learnable by humans. Templates exist. It's not zero dollars, but it's very doable, it just cuts into your art time.

I did the illustrations in the OPB / Oregon Art Beat documentary 'Indie Comics City' that released at Rose City Comic Con a couple of weeks ago. Here are a selection of the illustrations. It was a lot of fun to play with some different styles of comics! Colors by @alliedrakeart.bsky.social !

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows a brain. The brain is saying "I'm 30 and YOUNG! I only recently fully developed!"
The second panel shows a heart. The heart says "I hear ya! I can keep going for DECADES more!"
The third panel shows a spine's face. It weakly says, "I am old".
We zoom out and the spine is using a walker. It continues, "so very old".

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Apropos of I am VERY mad for a friend: If you have not made a comic book before and are coming from other media writing, GET A COMICS EDITOR. Comics looks easy. There are 1,000 sins you will commit if you haven't written a comic before and an editor will save your ass.

Hey! I'll be in NYC from Sept. 23-25 and am looking for recommendations for places to stay. I know it's expensive and was hoping to not spend more than $300/night if possible. I'm looking for a place close to the subway since I'll be bouncing around to for meetings and friends.

In exchange for public funding for the Moda Center, I want at least two strings attached: 1. Guaranteed cheep/free seats for residents (perhaps through the MultCo library card, like cultural passes to the ballet and Japanese Garden) 2. Street pricing on concessions like PDX (bc why is beer $17??)

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”
NYT: Iran War Live Updates: Trump Escalates Threat to Hit Iranian Power Plants After U.S. Rescues Downed Airman
President Trump used an expletive-laden social media post to taunt Iranian leaders, saying that the United States would attack if they did not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.  NYT: President Trump on Sunday escalated his threats to bomb Iranian power plants within the next two days and taunted the country’s leaders in an expletive-laden social media post.

Mr. Trump, seemingly emboldened by the successful U.S. rescue of an American airman in Iran over the weekend, issued a new ultimatum to Iran to end its chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz, a major Persian Gulf waterway for the transport of oil and gas, by Apr. 6.

If Iran’s government did not, he said, U.S. forces would target the country’s energy infrastructure, which supplies power for millions of civilians.

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” Mr. Trump wrote on social media. The president has previously postponed his deadline to attack twice and the Omani foreign ministry said on Sunday that officials had discussed how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian counterparts without reaching a definitive agreement.“Praise be to Allah,” Mr. Trump added, before signing off in all caps.

Iran has threatened to retaliate by intensifying its attacks on critical infrastructure in Israel and Arab states that are allied with the United States. An escalation could further derail the lives of civilians throughout the region and add to worries about the global economy, which has been rattled by soaring energy prices since the start of the war.

Over the past two days, the U.S. military has been in a race with Iranian armed forces to find the missing airman after an F-15E jet was shot down over Iran on Friday, in the first known instance of a U.S. combat aircraft since the start of the war.

The plane’s pilot was quickly rescued. But a second officer was stranded in Iran and injured in the incident. American commandoes found the airman deep inside Iranian territory under the cover of darkness.

Hey cartoonists, do not sign on for this. If they aren’t paying animators or authors, they sure as hell aren’t paying livable graphic novel advances. And also, it sucks.
Screencap from article. Text:

The first project planned for development is Friendship List, based on Lisa Greenwald's popular YA series of the same name, with HarperAlley to publish an accompanying graphic novel based on the animation.
HarperCollins was not able to provide a timeline for the project.Screencap from article. Text:

HarperCollins said the process will be "creator-led," per the announcement, but declined to address how authors will be involved and whether they will receive royalties.
