It's such a Food Crime, I'm so sick of it

This is the truest thing I've ever read on this website.

I put up a pretty wild teaser for the next installment of Dark Science over on my Patreon! www.patreon.com/posts/color-...

It feels like it's from another century, honestly, it's so funny

Any Hob connections you find are very much in the Easter Egg category, at best.

Oh definitely not. There's like a couple references to Hob in DS for fun, but it's 1000% self-contained.

Nope, just the one one-shot! She was a character I had intended to add for a while, but she ended up not getting a proper introduction until Dark Science.

Sometimes I look back at my earliest comics and think "this looks like a child drew it" before realizing that's kinda sorta true...

Kim Ross: 2005 -> 2026. I feel like there have been at least some artistic improvements.

Quote with the oldest and newest art of your character!

Theaters??? Holy smokes, my heart

True on both counts! I don't think I've ever given a number, but the vast majority of Nephilopolis's population are mezzodes. Probably why Enoch assumes that all natural humans are rich.

There have been recent attempts to translate the language we see pretty often in Nephilopolis, especially Naglfar, but none have been successful yet. What I can say is that it is indeed a decipherable script of sorts that's mainly intended for mezzodes (cyborgs) in the city.

There's this one account that's pretty cool. Also has some comics I think and good photos of spaghetti bsky.app/profile/zoew...

Not bad, just looking at cute girls on the internet

HELLO there

Denise is also a badass

She's clearly flexing on Zorro, showing that she doesn't need a foothold to swing on a rope, utilizing nothing but wrist and boob strength. Iconic.

I've mentioned it here and there, but I'm actually from a martial arts family, have a master rank in a half dozen styles, trained extensively in China and Korea, and have an undefeated record in full contact mixed fighting. I also used to be a combat trainer for antifascists during the 2020 uprising

Got my copy of @dresdencodak.com's Dark Science Vol 1 yesterday. Dark Science was already stunning in webcomic form so I cant wait to see how it reads and looks in book format. Now to somehow track down a hardcover copy of the Tomorrow Girl to have a matching pair...

Watching comedies from the 90s/00s is maddening because you'll have two women with amazing chemistry and your rational brain goes "wow what a great romantic pairing," but then one of them ends up with a man who looks like a sex offender who you didn't even realize was a character in the film.

I assume they're making a Devil Wears Prada 2 so they can correct the mistake of the first one and finally let Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt get together.

Kim wailing on the Marquis in Dark Science #134

My favorite thing about this look is that the armor was intended for someone much bigger (Azra-El was massive), so Kim looks kinda silly and cute because she's so teeny.

I just think she's Neat

Novels are just comics as made by people too lazy to draw the pictures.
