Okayyyyyy you asked for lots of hard to draw stuff and I made a lot of nightmare fuel from those requests. In the end, we have 3 deep sea creatures that would prefer that we collectively do NOT destroy their homes via deep sea mining. Try recycling maybe, they say.

Sometimes I like to press my ear to my cat’s side and hear his heartbeat and think about how amazing it is that he’s alive and I’m alive and we are alive together at the same time

Fantastic book that should be on every creator's shelf.

FACT: F&G is the how-to comics handbook I wish I had when I was an assistant editor at Vertigo in the early ‘90s. FACT: It’s recommend for anyone who wants to level-up their comics-making skills. FACT: It’s available NOW in print or digital—->https://www.offregister.press/store

"Kids are addicted to their phones" often feels a lot like "I am addicted to my phone but am terrified at the thought of not being in control, luckily there are a group of people who are completely disenfranchised so I'm just going to project my fears on to them instead"

I think the surest sign of Critic Brain is that I’d rather encounter something interestingly bad rather than predictably good. Let people enjoy things? Mister I won’t even let myself enjoy things

3. If your business model involves violating copyright law on an unprecidented scale to destroy another industry with an inferior product just long enough for you to escape with bags of cash before lawmakers catch on — You’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

I watched three Wong Kar-wai films in a row today and the good news is that love is real, but the bad news is that it only exists to wound us

The reality is, *most people* aren't ever going to read your comic in the first place. So why cater to them? Make the book you want to make. Tell the stories only you can tell, as only you can tell them.

ANYWAY: Make black and white comics. Make scarily personal comics. Make weird comics that shock and enthrall and horrify and even disgust, don't be "safe," don't be "easy," make exactly what you want. Thank you, that is all.

They are EXTRA SUPER SAFE when parked! news.sky.com/story/self-d...

Self-driving cars found to be safer - except at dawn, dusk, or when turning, according to studynews.sky.com Self-driving cars are generally safer than cars driven by humans, according to a new study released on Tuesday. However, the cars were found to be more accident-prone in certain scenarios.

Posted a while ago: In the early 80s my older brother, in our shared room, as we were going to sleep, explained to me how mutually assured destruction was a deterrent and I asked for reassurance, “so they would never launch?” he replied in the dark, “they may have launched right now.” Good night.

Does it make sense to buy into a classic car investment fund instead of parking a classic of your own in your garage—or parking those dollars in a more traditional investment "vehicle?" I get three different points of view in this piece for Inside Hook. www.insidehook.com/classic-cars...
