Anyway, you can read more about it (and even preorder it!) here.
And although preorders aren't really a thing in Iceland I have been informed that they are what make or break a book published in the US so apparently they are IMPORTANT.
I deleted my previous post to avoid spreading disinformation. Sorry about that!
Oops! Good catch.
Hallowed Ground is FULLY FUNDED!!!
Thank you all so much for helping us reach our goal. We couldn't have made this book without your support
41 hours to go if you wanna get in on the action! 👀
I survived. Please heap praise upon me.
Ugh. I have to go out and be sociable for a couple hours.
With people I like whose work I admire.
Truly, no one has suffered the way I must this evening.
Our etsy sales are how we subsidize our mentorship program. Right now we're able to offer stipends to two mentees a year! Your purchase makes that possible.
Today is the last day to preorder the first collected volume of HECTOR PLASM to help make sure it isn't the only collected volume of HECTOR PLASM
Call your shop, preorder online, tell a friend

Hi, everywhere I look, it's Wrestlemania weekend so, let's be clear:
-WWE is no longer the only widely available pro wrestling brand
-They are still run by a family responsible for sexual assault, human trafficking, and covering those things up.
-They are professed enthusiastic partners of Trump.
We are just over $7k away from hitting our goal with FIVE days to go! Help us spread the word about our book
"You think Baby Jesus killed Hitler just so I'd whisper?!"
"I didn't walk uphill both ways to the booth and back to not wild on you."
All together now:
Please tell me how them making it so you need age verification to use your fucking operating system "protecting the kids"

Ik I talk about this a lot but PLEASE fight for a private internet

6 panel comic P1: A crudely drawn guy stares at a phone with a vacant smile on his face P2: We are now looking at the phone screen. A video is playing, in which similarly crudely-drawn cat lies on their back P3: the POV closes in on the cat P4: Even closer. The cat's mouth opens, as they say "corporations are not your friend" P5: back to the full view of the screen, as the video ends P6: The guy continues to stare on with a vacant smile, as the POV pans back
Apparently, people still need to be reminded of this.
comic book artists should be paid
We need to keep lists of places that are ChatGPTing all help agents because I never want to buy anything from them again
There is *every* chance that we fund on backer 666, which would be *chef's kiss*
Help us get there, if not sooner!
Okay. Electric bill is now paid. But there’s still two weeks until payday, and it means times a going to be a tad rough
If anyone wants to support a gay creator who’s had the roughest time with his career since the pandemic six years ago, I’d really appreciate some book sales

Don’t miss this one, folks. Runaway to the Stars is one of those rare comics that seem to just effortlessly live up to everything they’re trying to be and everything you hope to get out of them.

Shares and word-spreading very much appreciated!
I like comics. This is no secret, and given that I write comics, it's probably a good thing I like them--I rarely enjoy things written by people who don't like the things they're writing. But "comics" is a medium, not a genre. You can do so much inside that one little word.
Interesting! Is that a term you've come across or something you're suggesting?
A Tom Gauld comic that quotes Søren Kierkegaard: Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.
A Sam & Fuzzy comic in which a cat escapes a trap laid by a lizard monster by breaking the fourth wall. Hard.
A comic featuring Mister Invincible. He uses sequence breaks between comic panels to solve crimes.
A Safely Endangered comic in which a character is trapped in an endless time loop, climbing from the end of the comic into the beginning and repeating the sequence forever.
#comics Bluesky, I need your help:
Is there a term for comics that play with format and sequence the way these examples do? If not, maybe we can come up with one?
