The Cartoon Network leak revealed that the team actually wrote fake interviews for the Powerpuff Girls in-house so that the writers could understand them better and honestly this is incredibly useful for learning how to characterize your characters holy shit

It’s one of the strangest cinema experiences I’ve ever watched. But it’s also brilliant. It certainly has its flaws, but I think that’s the point. Another film that certainly doesn’t spoonfeed the audience. 🍔

In light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

I’m inclined to agree with folks saying it’s bootstrap self-determinism American Boomer nonsense, using the POV of a cognitively disabled man to resist stating direct opinions on the issues it dances around. I don’t think it’s propaganda so much as sincere Boomer nonsense though.

The assassin stared into his victim’s disbelieving eyes as the life slowly drained from them, avoiding the blood still spurting from where his teeth had pierced their jugular. Jarred from his reverie by a woman’s screams behind him, he hopped away, a siren rising in the distance.

(September 23, 2026 at 10:44am)
Fake opinions to argue over…
- Never turn left on a first date.
- Every kindergarten student should have an unpaid internship.
- The periodic table is too sexual.
- Bigfoot should be allowed to vote.
- Having a dream is the same as reading a book.
- You can wear a crop top to a funeral if the deceased person was hot when they died.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

Okay Disney, I have a premise for a season-long arch that's guaranteed to keep viewers tuning in. In the first episode, guest star Daniel Radcliffe and Rowlf The Dog are practicing dangerously fast patter songs backstage... but wait! What's that intriguing thing behind them? It's a message...

I think this is the version of "There is no Winning in Comics" that I'm going to go with. At least until I decide to go back and make some more tiny changes.

"Cartooning will destroy you. It will break your heart"- Charles M. Schulz, quoted by my self-portrait penguin who is lying on top of Snoopy's doghouse.

Comics is a tough job, with long hours, little pay, and often abusive conditions. Osamu Tezuka's last words were "I'm begging you, let me work".

Even those who "make it" often end up broke, broken, or both. So why bother at all? This panel shows two Kirbyesque beings fighting.

I've got it pretty sweet. I'm not famous, but I draw what I want, when I want, and I get paid to do it! Not much, but still... This panel depicts my penguin self-portrait pulling a fish bone out of a trash can while wearing a Heathcliff hat.

"Success" or "Failure" ain't nothing but what you decide they are. "Love" is a "Battle-field". This panel depicts my penguin self-portrait getting beaned with a brick, a la Krazy Kat.
