It's a comic artist's job to guide the reader to the most important focal elements in any given page / panel, and I think Bill Ward does an exemplary job on this "Torchy" page from Doll Man.

PORTLAND COMICS PEOPLE: A look at the creative process with @oeming.bsky.social & @takisoma.bsky.social. Thursday, July 18th. 6:00pm PDT | Live in-person at the Wacom Portland Experience Center, 1455 NW Irving St! @wacom.bsky.social #pdxcomics

Me watching y'all with your thirsty posts / me waiting for replies from one of my thirsty posts

Dig these crazy commissions. Beautiful.

Two commissions, both illustrations of scenes from Tillie Walden’s book On A Sunbeam. I had so much fun with these!

Wholeheartedly agree with this. 👍

I think maybe the "Superman, Batman and Robin hang out with pretty girls" stories should be by @paultobin.bsky.social and @colleencoover.bsky.social.

Perspective of you thinking you can guard this.

A: In the past week, three of my author friends have mentioned that they write secret naughty stuff for fun. B: Now the temperature in Portland is going to hit 100 degrees. Connected?

For the people who don’t have time, here’s your Readers Digest version. You’re welcome.

One beautiful aspect of my new house is that there's a certain time of day when sunlight filters down through the skylight to majestically illuminate a traveling stretch of the floor with a shining glow of "here's where you didn't vacuum very well."

It's supposed to reach nearly 100 degrees today and I'm writing in a cafe and I'm legit COLD. They are cranking the HELL out of their air conditioner. I'm going to walk outside and collapse on the sidewalk. If you see me there, either carry me home or flip me over so both sides get grilled.

Imagine if the NYT defended trans people instead of attacking them. Imagine if the NYT refused to platform bigots and insurrectionists. Imagine if the NYT actually covered local New York City politics and news. Imagine if the NYT had a public editor.

Imagine for one second if the NYT marshaled its massive influence towards voter registration, towards supporting voting rights groups, towards encouraging people to vote and fighting people who try to stop people from voting. Imagine if the NYT actually championed participatory democracy.

Every day is "What Fresh Hell?" day in 2024.

Speaking of my website, if you missed it yesterday, I finished my write-up of SALLY THE SLEUTH on my Public Domain Loves section! www.paultobin.net/public-domai...

With the posting of that X-Men #1, I've finished the posting of what I consider my "core" comic collection. You can see the full collection right here on my website! www.paultobin.net/comics-colle...

Comics Collection — Paul Tobinwww.paultobin.net

To me, my X-Men! Today's comic from my collection is this copy of X-Men #1, from September of 1963. First appearance of Prof. X, the Beast, Angel, Magneto, Jean Grey, and Iceman, but unfortunately NOT the first appearance of X-Men HR Offices, so Jean could report basically everyone for harassment.

Important.

Some of the titan shoulders upon which we stand.

More thematic art. Jack Cole A. Leslie Ross Robert McGinnis Alex Toth

I swear to god there is a guy here in this cafe explaining to a woman about how there wasn't GRAVITY before Newton "made it up." One of his proofs is "how do you think they made the pyramids?"

This dude's tiny motorcycle.

I was just able to hire a friend to work with me on comics and that makes me happy.

The only two customers in this cafe right now are me and the dude who sat down right next to me to make a series of business phone calls.

Made a nice landing page on my website for the new HEART ACRES Webtoon, by me, @colleencoover.bsky.social, and @ghostgreen.bsky.social! I'm not saying it's the best comic in the world, but I AM typing it right now. www.paultobin.net/comic-collec...

Heart Acres — Paul Tobinwww.paultobin.net

Looking at thematic art today. (you can probably guess the theme) Art by Paul Rader. Russell Patterson. Will Elder. Jack Cole.

Having a shitty day but at least there are dogs in the cafe.
