Yeah! Figured we were about due for a little wonder

oooh, good description
My favorite Zorhan Mamdani move is when a reporter tries to get him on the record about some other democrat and he goes "honestly I think New Yorkers are tired of hearing politicians talk about other politicians" which is such a classic "ahhh dude I totally would but my wife won't let me" maneuver
Panels from the FLASH GORDON daily strip, drawn by Sandy Jarrell, featuring the blue barbarians known as the Tusk Men
The Tusk Men's tusks are pretty subtle in the original Alex Raymond strips and I just forgot about them -- fortunately, Sandy thought to include them in the final art:

Huge congrats to David F Walker @davidfwalker.bsky.social, winner (with collaborator Marcus Kwame) of the 2024 Oregon Book Award for Graphic Literature for their book Big Jim and the White Boy!
I'd love to get into the modern Tusk Men. A people cannot survive on jobbers alone
A cartoonist without nonsense is like a hot dog without the bun
Damn straight
More like "ante up"
Sure they only show up for two days of the strip, but are we fucking around here or are we gonna play some ball
One last bonus from last week: my models of the various soft armor configurations of the Tusk Men for Sandy to cycle through. The idea here was to covey the feeling of an unorganized raiding force running rampant in a lawless land — when the social contract dies, the Tusk Men go to work.
Because gonzo 90s pseudo-fetish ads are BACK baby
Truer words were never spake
Well heck, thanks kindly
Oh absolutely. This is one third Prince Valiant, one third The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire, and a large serving of Reign: The Conqueror
The concept of Stan Lee writing a Hentai in the Mighty Marvel Tradition
Oh that's VERY cool

Ahh Ron, you are perpetually too kind 🥂
A fine read, on page or screen. I tell you what it is, old sport. @danschkade.bsky.social's Webtoon series is chalkablock with wit, style, and heart like the best and rarest of adventure comics. Now Dan's reformatted the first season as Vol I in print. All I can say is, Vol II post haste!
This sketch is from December 2023, while I was fleshing out the backstory for our version of Ming. The broad strokes of every version are here: he's a brilliant, ruthless man who killed his way into power. But how we get there, how that speaks to the themes of our strip, is where it gets exciting.
It's never too late to start your act two! As well as an act of war, circumstances permitting
Your Sunday summary of the past week in FLASH GORDON — a sequence that's been in my head since the very beginning of my run on the strip — brought to life by guest artist @sandyjarrell.com! Enjoy:
A tweet from mike ginn reading: Why must a movie be “good” ? Is it not enough to sit somewhere dark and see a beautiful face, huge?
My feelings on EUPHORIA can best be described via my favorite ever tweet:
EUPHORIA isn't necessarily a good show, but it IS a bad show, and I think we should all appreciate it as such
