Did you know, that if you use the 'embed' feature in an """X""" post, the page it takes you to from there is headed 'Twitter Publish', the URL says Twitter, and its favicon is the old Twitter bird?

Even Twitter knows it's still Twitter lmao.

My buddy @zipcomicuk.bsky.social has a fourth issue of Zip out, and it's a time travel story! The two things I love about Zip are that Mike uses superheroes to discuss disability and prejudice. And also that the story is set in Bristol, where I live!

If you want to contact me you can send a DM or email info@zipcomic.co.uk

As that's the case, I won't be able to respond to any messages or take any action via Kickstarter (like access backer records) till it's over.

I don't have any solid information on when Kickstarter will be back, but outages of big websites like this only tend to last a few hours.

The tragedy of ascii characters being made up of one byte is that it makes it totally impossible to write traditional haikus in binary.

A box displaying a Kickstarter project. The featured image is black and white comic book art. Black and white comic art of a speedster super heroine running across rooftops. Text reads: Zip 1 to 4, superhumans as an analogy for disability. Late pledges active. 126 percent funded.

A cover image depicting duo chrome comic book art. A half the face of a super heroine with googles is next to a corresponding half of the face of a young man holding a knife, whose face is shrouded by a hood. In the background behind them is a huge clock, whose face is cracking.

Black and white comic art. A bald, middle aged man confronting a hooded teenager in an alleyway. Text reads, Man: quote, GIVE ME THE KNIFE! end quote. Teen, quote: Hope it you weirdo! End quote. Man, quote: talk tough all you want, but you end up killing someone and you'll regret it. You think your friends'll still care, a year after you've been to prison? Trust me, they won't. End quote. Teen, quote: I ain't gonna kill you, just cut you if you don't move yourself. End quote.

A caption which says "A teenager out for blood. A science experiment gone wrong. Time is of the essence." Next to the caption is black and white comic art depicting a figure whose face is obscured by the shadow of their hood is looking down sinisterly at a knife they are holding.

The table has a 6 ft roller banner with the Zip log behind it, and is selling comics, stickers, and A3 posters. The Zip logo is white, and is motion blurred so that it appears to be moving quickly itself.

Back our project to keep us visiting conventions/doing panels, expanding the retailers who stock us, and bringing new issues to our publisher @markosia.bsky.social 's eReader platforms!

A cover image depicting duo chrome comic book art. A half the face of a super heroine with googles is next to a corresponding half of the face of a young man holding a knife, whose face is shrouded by a hood. At the top of the cover, reflected in a upside down kind of mirror image, is this same a woman recoiling back in shock, and an old man in a futuristic jacket looking pained. Each person is split in half from top to bottom, making up one whole as they are side by side. They are stood in front of a huge clock face. In the background behind them is a huge clock, whose face is cracking.

A comic book cover depicting a superhero bar. The patrons in the background are outlandish types, some are living flowers, some have tentacles, and some have fins or tails. At the front, the title character of the comic a speedster named Zip, is speaking to another superhero named Planemo, who is dressed in a tank top. There is a pigeon eating crumbs on the bar top.

Pixel art comic cover. A superheroine wearing googles and a tracksuit inspired costume runs across a rooftop, towards a hooded person clutching a knife, and an elderly man whose white beard flows in the wind. Behind the two people she is rushing to, there are ripples in the air emanating from behind them.

Comic book cover art. A blonde superheroine in a tracksuit inspired costume and wearing goggles running at super speed down a city street. Tall buildings and neon lights blur in the background behind her.

2 of 2 ...he just couldn't tell because important online-only documents were written by people apathetic to screen-reading verbosity flaws.

Trade paperback collection of the arc with foreword by the @rnib.bsky.social of course.

1 of 2: Daredevil comic court drama in which Matt is struggling to clear the name of a defendant he knows is innocent as the real (and very dangerous) culprit escapes justice at every turn.
