Weird that they would fire the navy secretary who’s been overseeing a war we’ve won at least five times.

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭

ICE in Chicago this morning at Elston and Kennicott—a masked agent tells a witness (on the sidewalk) not to get in front of his car.

Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month.

No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

Édouard Vuillard, The Newspaper, 1896-98, showing a woman reading a newspaper in a decorated interior

If I were to recommend only a single exhibition in NYC right now it wouldn't be a big, splashy museum presentation but rather a small, ravishing show of Édouard Vuillard's early interiors at Skarstedt in Chelsea. Absolutely stupendous. Open through April 25 (thread) www.skarstedt.com/exhibitions/...

Bad draft is a lot easier to fix than a blank page

Just. No.

May your smoke alarms be always working.
May your dog be always happy.
May your fire extinguisher be always accessible.
May your ladder be always on a firm, flat surface.
May your cat be around.

a page from watchmen, 9 panel grid. Characters are talking about a case, one character keeps telling the other one the phone is ringing. There is no sound effects to tell this - only a blinking red light on the phone visible in one panel. By fifth panel it finally registers and he answers, then that conversation- someone calling to tell him Rorschach will be at a certain place. They head out to arrest him, and one says "let's go ignore some red lights"

teaching watchmen & discussed how they eliminated all the comic book-y things: SFX, motion lines, emanata, thought balloons, narrative captions. Noticed on this read: this phone sequence, it's ringing - we can't tell (except red light). Does character's failure to hear commentary on the lack of SFX?

If this site is briefly responsive I just wanna thank it for helping break my dopamine loop this week. Really appreciate the help.

The first issue of Whole Fanzine Catalog (1978) ends with an article to help aspiring zine makers understand the labor & cost involved. He breaks it down step by step & concludes, "You can count on a 24 page fanzine of 200 copies to take about 50 hours to produce." fanac.org/fanzines/Who...
