This was supposed to be a coloured comic, but after I drew everything under the tables and the shelves (one shelf copy-pasted into six), I thought I'd rather draw the characters and colour that.

If a series has five main characters and one petty AF villain, you must make a Breakfast Club AU of them. #AvatarTheLastAirbender #ATLA #AvatarAangTheLastAirbender #AATLA #Aang #Katara #Sokka #Toph #Zuko

Black and white comic. Only two panels, set in the same location: the reading tables of a library. The main characters of ATLA are all asleep at the tables as Zhao barks at them to "WAKE UP!!" He gets no reaction until he asks, "...who needs to use the lavatory?" Then everyone raises their hands without waking up.

Plain lineart version because I'm still not satisfied with my coloring.

Agreed because then you can edit in clips or excerpts to back up your arguments instead of trying to describe them in a comment.

Following over two years of grassroots and international mobilization led by solidarity groups including BDS Japan Bulletin, on Nov 18th the government of Aichi Prefecture announced the end of the Aichi-Israel Matching Program between Japanese manufacturers and Israeli tech startups! #SmashTheMatch

And each panel is basically an entire drawing on its own😓

I misread “things” as “thighs” and was like “Yep.”

Funny context: Nezha at this point isn’t even aware he has a crush on Ao Bing

Here's a 4-koma of my #Nezha and #AoBing before they started dating and were still mortal!

TITLE: "Awful News"
PANEL 1: Ao Bing is flying towards Nezha as a small dragon, crying, "Oh, Nezha! What a FOOL I made of myself today!" To which Nezha responds with his arms open: "What happened, Ao Bing??"
PANEL 2: Ao Bing has shifted into a half dragon, half human form. His head is still dragon-shaped, and his dragon tail is in Nezha's arms, but he now has human hands which are pulling at his whiskers while he explains with strained, bloodshot eyes: "The snail soldier my father dispatched to find me a suitable human bride finally returned; he said he had found the perfect woman, but it slipped his mind to mention that was FIVE YEARS AGO! I proposed to her in front of her HUSBAND AND THREE CHILDREN!" Behind him, Nezha replied with a smile, "That's awful!"
PANEL 3: Ao Bing is almost completely human now, except his mouth looks a bit like a dragon's snout as he screams at Nezha, "Go ahead, LAUGH! My unluck in love must seem so humorous!" Nezha refutes with a smile, "Not at all! I do sympathize with you!" Ao Bing then demands, "Then why are you smiling?!"
PANEL 4: Nezha turns away from Ao Bing, blushing with his hands over his mouth as he whispers, "Am I?" Ao Bing just watches him in confusion and irritation while huffily flipping his braid over his shoulders.

To be against genocide in Gaza means we have to oppose the structural oppression of capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism at the root of ongoing genocides in Sudan, Congo, and Tigray. No one is free until all of us are free. Free Palestine. Free Sudan. Free Congo. Free Tigray.

I think we should be at least as militant about the increasing restrictions and potential bans of adult content as the right is any time the idea of gun control is mentioned actually

Really glad so many people showed out for this. Stop dumping data centers in majority black residential areas.

I prefer pencils over pens too! Sometimes, I just use a different pencil tool for the lineart.

I'm all for transhumanism but gAI ain't it. Weakening our brains and ceding more control to megacorporations over our culture isn't augmenting us, it's diminishing us. All cyber, no punk.

Hey, Sega. You go all in on generative AI, I’m going all in on not buying a single one of your games from here on out. And I’m really looking forward to VF6, new Yakuza, Crazy Taxi, and that new Jet Set Radio. None of them. Not a single fucking one. Try me. Fuck around and find out.
