In light of U.S. Vice president Mike Pence’s recent visit to #Iceland to re-establish a military presence there, let me share with you the rusted remains of the WWII naval base in the Hvalfjörður fjord, destroyed by #Elves in 1944 for basically interdimensional imperialism and trespassing.

Study reveals: Internet piracy boosts sales of completed manga series.
“Piracy decreased the legitimate sales of ongoing comics but stimulated legitimate sales of completed comics.”

#MerriamWebster announced an additional definition for #they: a third-person, singular pronoun for #nonbinary people. And Oxford has been criticized for its entry under “woman.”
"That the oldest #dictionary publisher in the United States has added its imprimatur to this meaning of the pronoun could be seen as a powerful statement about evolving understandings of #gender #identity.
Or it could be seen as something much more elementary: a reflection of #changingtimes."

ukpol meets The Incredible Hulk
Yesterday, unelected PM Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson likened Britain to the Hulk, bound in EU shackles.
“[i]Hulk always escaped, no matter how tightly bound in he seemed to be - and that is the case for this country. The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets[/i]”
(Further reading:
“Planet Hulk”, where Hulk gets launched into space because he is deemed too dangerous to stay on Earth at all, and its followup storyline, “World War Hulk”.)

Some old photo reference collages for tricky comic panels. These still make me laugh.

Computer brands used in comics
Let me know if you have suggestions for ethical brands I should feature in future chapters!
Computer brands used in comics
In my comics I try to be mindful about what kind of computer brand/OS/app I draw on the pages.
The default of too many colleagues is to depict a computer by drawing an apple on a square - or a pear if they want to appear funny/critical.
Well it's not critical, it's still an ad, and an unpaid one at that.
Don't get me wrong, there might be stories where it's fitting for the character to use a Mac, but mostly it's just a mindlessly repeated code. 🐑 🐑 🐑
