@ColleenDoran Wow, you have outdone yourself!
So glad your strong voice can be heard here now as well!
The year #Sandman ended, I met @neilhimself at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
We teenagers always sneaked in through the parking garage to steal comics.
He suddenly sat on a chair, being interviewed. I summoned my courage and my English - both wobbly - and congratulated him on the completion of Sandman.
He said he'd very much "appreciate" it and I had no idea what that meant. So I channeled his comic worlds for help, became an immortal being, said "you *should* " and strutted away flamboyantly.
Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.
This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable โ and used.
If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kindaโฆ nice?" โ that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".
So #KeepFediWeird.
@Archarzel There's also comicscamp.club and comics.town !
2021 comic sales hit a record high, thanks to manga and kids' graphic novels; superheroes, not so much.

@OliviaVieweg So cool, dass du da bist! \o/
Herzlich willkommen!
@ikorth Hab deinen Comic im Comicladen entdeckt und gleich meinem Neffen zu Weihnachten geschenkt.
@kathygriffin Well played! I hope you're all right...
@cwebber@octodon.social This all couldn't have happened without your ceaseless efforts against all odds.
Thank you so much, and I hope a part of you can just feel happy and rewarded that every newspaper and TV station in the world is currently occupied with discussing the merits of decentralized protocols.
Congratulations for apparently having reached the critical mass!
@GWillow So great to have you here! A very warm welcome!
Anatomy of a sound effect. Something I developed over a decade ago to help my students understand the flexibility and power of sound design in comics. I've been told this has been used in some college classes as well--I just hope it helps lead cartoonists to more thoughtful integration of sound in their comics!
Shoutout to one of the great oddities of the #comics medium. LONGSHOT COMICS by Shane Simmons. A full length comic book where every page had 160 panels! Funny writing and smart choices throughout.
@Fuchskind Superschรถn und passend, dass du da bist, Mastodon bzw. das Fediverse ist ein sehr neurodiverser Verein!
@marga_owski bei so was wie literatur.social siehst du vielleicht mehr fรผr dich spannendes.
ansonsten ist die timeline eben nur so gut, wie du sie sir mit der zeit zusammenbastelst...
@Laburrini
Sehr herzlich willkommen! Toll, dich hier zu finden! \o/
