It's time for the 2024 Comics Worker Survey for US workers! Pay transparency is crucial to uncovering patterns in pay inequity & learning what publishers and clients can ACTUALLY pay us. Submit your info and encourage your peers to do the same! cartoonist.coop/2024USsurvey (art by Phil McAndrew)

Non-US Comics Worker Surveys are in the works too! For now, this is for comics workers who live and work in the US. Questions or concerns? Email us at [email protected] and we'll try to respond as quickly as we can. Check out the 2023 Comic Survey report here: cartoonist.coop/journal/the-...

Meal kit codes for whoever wants em! They won’t let me order more to my address with different accounts lol. Remember to skip the next week’s shipment and then cancel your subscription as soon as it arrives!

Here's a comic that I really appreciate as it's more current one. bsky.app/profile/newl...

What’s Up With COVID and How to Protect Yourself: 2024 Edition New zine!! This is my (well-informed layperson’s) understanding of what’s going on with COVID right now and how to lower your risk of getting it (again). Read at newlevant.com/COVIDzine or in the thread below 👇

Is this real, or some kind of phishing scam everyone has been getting?

What if after I finish my book next year, I became a COVID-safe home care aide. I would be good at that

Just learned the Spanish version of "righty tighty, lefty loosey" translates as "the right oppresses, the left liberates" and holy shit that goes hard.

Not pierced, but what if…

BECOMING WHO WE ARE: REAL STORIES ABOUT GROWING UP TRANS was designed for middle grade readers but all-ages should be picking up this anthology from @awaveblueworld.bsky.social and co-editor, @newlevant.bsky.social, who I got to interview here: comicon.com/2024/06/06/t...

My rave review of THE PEOPLE’S JOKER has published at Rolling Stone:

‘The People’s Joker’ Is Here, Queer, and the Only Viable Path Forward for Superhero Movieswww.rollingstone.com Vera Drew's transgender take on the Batman villain isn't just hilarious, inventive and moving. It's also a much-needed lifeline for the genre.

here's a basic Comic Deadline Planner I made years ago- old but still useful in figuring out how long it might take you to draw a comic! www.patreon.com/posts/77633240 numbers are placeholders, NOT a guide; everyone's process is different! please make a copy & edit to fit your own schedule--

please share this with everyone you know! I’ve been linking to this in every space and network I can think of. it’s so informative and helpful

Not people finding the COVID zine and then looking on IG for photos of me and Rubi outdoors to hate on. Put that energy into printing some zines!! Truly many people are more concerned with doing nothing wrong than doing something right.

If you see this, post the best portrait of yourself drawn by someone else. has to be this @newlevant.bsky.social illustration of me staying hydrated at the club

If you see this, post the best portrait of yourself drawn by someone else. This one by @illuminatedcomics.bsky.social is still very good and very accurate. 💀

anyone got tips on talking to 8-12 year olds about comics? I'm putting together my first talk/workshop for kids! 😨

I keep watching lesbian movies like “surely THIS one won’t be about a tragic road trip!”

AI is a visual lie

I can't stress enough how downplaying COVID has emboldened the far right. When you tell people "you do you" or say that schools don't need public health protections, you shift the Overton window, making it easier for anti-vaxxers to say it's fine to spread measles.

Six students have measles in an outbreak at a Florida elementary school. How did Florida's health department respond? Their Surgeon General sent out a letter that supports parents sending unvaccinated children to school during the outbreak and doesn't recommend vaccination.
