My most recent long video is a chat with @sallataire.bsky.social about three shojo comics that taught her a lot about storytelling:
Moto Hagio's A Cruel God Reigns, Kentaro Miura's Berserk, and Akimi Yoshida's Banana Fish.
An hour! Talking comics is the best of times.

I'm in this with the homie @sallataire.bsky.social! There's tons of other cool teams, each doing their own short riff on the perfect crime. This is going to be very fun and probably VERY psychologically revealing, so jump on board.
Thank you David! 🥹🫶
You should check this out. I like Alissa's stuff a lot. We're working together on the Perfect Crime Party anthology, but she's at her most powerful as a pure cartoonist:
Haha thank you Ron!
Wow-- this is a mind-bending trip. Like, "What if a Twilight Zone episode was done like a manga? And set at a Waffle House?" Must be read to be believed:
Thank you!
New work out now from me today!
SUN TRIBE: Waffle Shack Index can be read for free on the Viz website & app 🧇✨

Listen! @sallataire.bsky.social and me are doing a story in @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social's upcoming Perfect Crime Party anthology. "Polyphonic Funk: My Outlaw Melody" is about a girl, her ghost dad (a genius of delinquency), & the crime that'll make her rep forever

Akimi Yoshida's Banana Fish volume 8. Eiji and Ash have a conversation about a girl that Ash once loved, and Eiji reacts with both surprise and glee at the revelations. Ash brings him down to earth with the flat statement that his girlfriend died before anything happened.
I had a long conversation about storytelling this weekend. A friend pointed out these panels from Akimi Yoshida's Banana Fish v8 as a real cool example of the strength of abstraction. Eiji's basically going D: and :D, and our minds add real feeling/detail. Creator/reader collaboration via simplicity
