Youve Been Passed The Virtual Joint!
congratulations!
so much of this ire is a result of comics being broadly considered a genre instead of a medium, resulting in lopsided and strange groupings of disparate work because they are all comics. in an old medium they wouldn't even glance each other, etc.
Don't Smoke Anymore Well, you could try making edibles... You'd probably be really good at it... It's SCIENCE! No.... It's just not the same...

cool thread that was partial inspiration for last night's page!!
to the tune of "dead or alive":
i made four tuna cakes
and i ate them all
Sorry that I find joy in what I love instead of what I hate! Sorry I want to express myself instead of being ironic! Sorry I'm not postmodern enough for you! Sorry that people like my comics cause they can actually read them! Sorry that you're still self-published! Sorry that I got what you wanted without trying!

when i was younger if i read a comic that did or was similar to something i was making i'd be disappointed, like somebody got to it already, and now i get, not even in a "two cakes" way that that is kinda "the point" if there is one
we are truly the universe experiencing itself over and over
the first time I went for a drivers exam i failed because i refused to signal in the dedicated turning lane as “there is no other option left to me but to turn why would i signal my intentions?” and i spent the entire test arguing with the examiner about it
this year ah am going to stand in that long ass chris claremont line
Mr. Cube, an anthropomorphised sugar cube with arms, legs, a face and a large nose. He is seen here wielding a sword and a T&L (Tate and Lyle) shield.
Do you know? asks Mr. CUBE 1. British refined sugar is the cheapest and best in the world? [Mr. Cube bows. "At your service"] 2. British sugar refiners do not receive a subsidy from the Government or anyone else? [Cube's feet. "I stand on my own feet"] 3. That Tate & Lyle are able to run their business profitably only because they are efficient—shareholders get only 3d profit on all the sugar one person eats in a year? [Cube points at you angrily with three pennies in hand. "Only threepence"] 4. That when controls go you will, once again get the sugar and syrup of your choice? [Cube waves a bad boss goodbye. "When controls go"] BUT, says Mr. CUBE 1. Sugar refining is on the list for nationalisation. [Cube is horrified. "It's on the list"] 2. Industries already nationalised are running at a loss and it is you the taxpayer who is to pay for these losses. [Cube points at you angrily. "It's your money"] If Sugar is Nationalised Mr. CUBE believes that 1. Prices will rise. [Cube is distraught. "Oh Dear, Dear, DEARER"] 2. Quality will suffer. [Cube rejects an ageing, withering sugar cube with a walking stick] 3. Even the choice you have now will vanish [Cube observes two 'state' cubes with surprise]
"Mr. Cube says - "Kill that snake!" Illustration of Mr. Cube using a baseball bat to beat a snake forming the 's' in 'STATE'.

Mr. Cube
Tate & Lyle
1949-1951
A sugar cube warrior created at Tate & Lyle as means of resistance against the postwar Labour government's attempted nationalisation of the sugar industry. "Take the S out of State" was among his mottos. Before you sing praises, Cube was a friend to the Conservatives.
i made friends in eighth grade with this kid who randomly asked me if i wanted to play car games on the school field trip bus and after i told him no he drew himself crying in my sketchbook lol. like that was cool and nice to remember. thanks bo...
i finally watched it and i enjoyed it. a nice hope to despair ratio. pleasantly surprised that in addition to the expected bad memories that it evoked warm ones from that time as well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWt4...

i don't know if this is true or not, but it was absurd enough of a sentence in my mind that i wanted to share it with you. but similar to audra show 7 i have information i want to convey that i think autobio is best suited for vs fictionalizing it. i'm only imagining maybe four pages, if that. idk.
coming out of autobio retirement to do a comic about 9/11
