Illustrations of the “utsuro-bune” (hollow ship), complete with inhabitant, reported to have washed up on the coast of Japan in 1803. Was this a castaway from the West? An embellished folktale? Or even, as some suppose, an extraterrestrial visit? publicdomainreview.org/collect #ufo

After a blatantly racist work was nominated for four #EisnerAwards, it’s time to change how nominations for the comic book industry’s most prestigious awards are made. In an open letter to the Comic-Con International Board, Mariah McCourt and I are asking for greater transparency and changes to this process to reduce systemic bias in order to maintain awards’ prestige and relevance.

Goodness - every page of
Julia Wertz’s Impossible People is an unflinchingly honest exploration of the human condition, painful, poignant & laugh out loud funny - and super smart cartooning. I kept trying to read it in short chunks and found it impossible to put down. 1/2

Two major takeaways for people on Substack like Jonathan Hickman, Molly Knox Ostertag or Michael Avon Oeming from the Decoder interview with CEO Chris Best:

1️⃣ Your platform does not consider it appropriate to moderate overt racism like “all brown people are animals”.

2️⃣ Your platform allows you to leave at any given moment and take all your subscriber information with you.

Draw your own conclusions.
