Art Spiegelman: golden age superheroes were shaped by the rise of fascism.
Read the essay that Spiegelman published in the Guardian after Marvel reportedly asked him to censor a section that referred to our current president.
#Libra, your Love Horoscope is more than just a little concerning. A plethora of hoop snakes are rolling in your direction. It's a bad omen. Shortly after their passage, a succubus will enter you in your sleep and remove your soul with a silver fork. The intercourse will be heavenly, but you will surely be damned to Hell.
Hæ there!
If this toot is still pinned, I am AFK on my #Iceland mission – chasing Elves and Walking Children in Nature.
It also means that I’m not able to see DMs or review follower requests atm.
Wish me luck and have a great summer!✨
If they think we’re merely raising humble tax payers here, they’re in for a reeeal treat. 🤫
State of infosec awareness in the comics community
Fellow comic artist looking at my calling card: “Ah, you’re listing all Hex color codes you’ve used – that’s so meta, I love it!”
Me: “Thanks, um, plus, it’s my fingerprint.”
For years I saw this car in my neighborhood, assuming its owner simply attached some pre-printed ornamental foil.
Then one day recently, I saw this young lady squatting in front of it, edding marker in hand, carefully adding line for line.
And I realized: the whole sprawling floral madness of sea-horses, algae and jellyfish is completely handmade!
Kudos, unknown neighbor – this is what determination looks like.
On the bright side, it's June now and that means years of yearning and longing are over: in a few weeks I will be able to see #Iceland again!
I have some research to do there for my comics project, especially on the eastern coast (Seyðisfjörður, Borgarfjörður Eystri). *And* some serious catching up with my favourite place on Earth.
It's been too long and I'm getting excited!

Gentrification -
Went to see the #DragRace finale in a spot that for years rightfully called itself “the cheapest bar in town on the cheapest street in town“ – just to learn that they will have to close end of June.
#Gentrification in #Berlin still going strong, still weakening subcultures. :-(

Good night, all you sleepless Mastodonians.
