Beautiful example of how “avant-garde” and “mainstream” comics constantly cross-pollinate:

’s walking over his own comic’s pages just as Julius Corentin Aquefaques did 20 years before.

@matt
Definitely c for clarity.

There's also d for a double tail going both ways, but I'm not sure that would fit your style.

Villains at a Comic Con pulled together to give little Wonder Woman a photo for life (by u/Profoundvalois669)

@HerraBRE Well if all goes well, there'll be an Icelandic commission debating this at some point.

@HerraBRE Sure sounds decentralized, but would this also include the communicative, cooperative, interconnected aspect that rings with "Fedi"?

Adding screen-tones makes all the difference.

“My reputation for the rest of my life is destroyed!” Nah bro, your reputation has been synced with who you are. If that’s negatively affecting you, perhaps some self-reflection is in order, painful as that might be. washingtonpost.com/media/2023/

🎨📰 Barbara Brandon-Croft was the first Black woman to have a syndicated comic strip for international audiences.

More than 30 years after her comics went mainstream, they are still as relevant and funny as they were in the ’90s. Dorothy Woodend writes.

Hey #indigenousmastodon - I'm looking for an Indigenous comic artist who can do a really rad punk art style. Approx 8 pages. Paid project, great publisher, reasonable deadline.

If that's you, let me see your samples at indiginerds.anthology (at) gmail

Please boost!

So happy for you, – never give up on your dreams! 🌠​

@HerraBRE I second that, and always try to say "that was a nasty thing you did" instead of "you're nasty".
I think it's possible to give the kids a baseline of "you're great" and still put an emphasis on accountability - not least by sincerely saying sorry myself now and then.

I made a browser extension that will replace all references to “Valentine’s Day” with “Horny Werewolf Day” in the web sites you visit. It’s fun and dumb and I like it a lot!

racism in illustrations 

There's a politics of lines in and illustration.

Take this one from "Queer – A Graphic History", which accompanies a text on racial stereotypes.

It troubles me that the least amount of lines is used on the central white guy. He is drawn so much more abstract than anyone else!

Willingly or not, that presents him as the default human being, upon which you have to add a bunch of extra lines to create cliché Black or Asian eyes, lips or hair.

Line counts matter!
