I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

cowboy who stubbed his toe:

Dude, I just heard about this! You're a great editor and it was a pleasure to work with you. I'm sure we'll do it again soon enough elsewhere!

My Bluesky engagement strategy

Been a lotta Tech Jacket talk the last couple weeks thanks to the Invincible show. So just as a reminder, the TECH JACKET COMPENDIUM VOL. 1 is out now, collecting everything, including TECH JACKET #1-8, TECH JACKET DIGITAL #1-3, & TECH JACKET (2014) #1-12. It's a really fun ride!

Networking shouldn't have to be a slog. I think a lot comes down to engaging in each others' work, being supportive, and reaching out to the friends you're making along the way. Instead of getting "plucked from obscrurity", be so undeniably you that creatives want to come see what you're building.

This is the first book on the list that I had the pleasure of buying personally from the creator. @kharyrandolph.bsky.social was a guest at our indie comics con in Stockholm last year together with Joanne Starer and I bought a sketchbook from him with some really fire X-Men and TMNT art among others

LOL, trying to stay offline and do my work, and friends are sending me

"LOOK AT THIS NEW PIC!" texts ....

This one is worth it.

First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important.

The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein)

Eisner-winning writer David F. Walker has a Kickstarter ending in 6 days for a 40-page monster one-shot that's part blaxploitation tribute, part satirical horror, part 1970s comics love letter.

Fully drawn. Already funded. I've seen it, and it's WILD.

We didn't deserve this day.

"open the fuckin' strait you crazy bastards"-- "a whole civilization will die tonight" -- "j/k"

we can't do this for another 3 years

My advice to the fine people aboard the Artemis II would be to not come back.

Disney Masters: The Delta Dimension Mickey: D-do y' think he'll do it? Police Chief: We know he's capable of it! Mayor: And in an election year! Oh, me!

Trump insane Easter post

Mamdani warm and gracious easter greetings

One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!
