Emailed John P. to update the mailing address on my King Cat subscription.

He wrote me back to say that I just may be the longest current subscriber he's got — I signed up in 1994 with issue #44!

1994 was my first year in college. Looking back through those comics stirs up a lot of memories.

#kingcat is one of my all-time favorites — you should subscribe! John also runs a distribution service called Spit And A Half where you can buy more fun mini-comics:

Just realized that @ZachWeinersmith fully predicted ChatGPT with this 2014 comic (if he's already pointed this out, my bad): https://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=3576

I made my way through Carlo Rovelli's brilliant Order of Time (a second time) for reference for my forthcoming work. It's quite wonderful - mind expanding & deeply human all at once. He deals with entropy at length, and that discussion resonated with my comic on entropy "Against the Flow" that I created for the Boston Globe some years back. You can find more on its genesis along with ALL the sketches that led to its rather complicated composition. https://spinweaveandcut.com/sketching-entropy/

I put @tomgauld's brilliant new comic for @newscientist alongside Ibn Al-Rabin's masterpiece “Le Verbe Prophétique” as demonstrating the ways you can do things in comics seemingly simple yet bewilderingly complex that can only be done in comics.
