I’m definitely part of an older generation of comics pros, having come up through the boom/bust of the 90s, and worked through the push to digital in the 00s and reboot frenzy of the 10s. But I read this and I can’t help but think, so…what else is new? www.thepopverse.com/comics-marve...

Marvel's comic book boss is calling for a "reset" of his company, and the entire comics systemwww.thepopverse.com "We as a group need to step back and accept that the world we are operating in is very different than the one before February 2020" says Marvel publisher Dan Bu

My new movie hot take is that Christopher Nolan films are tedious and boring.

Of course they a banned a children’s book about banning books. Book bans aren’t undertaken by caring citizens concerned about this or that topic. They’re about thought control and the suppression of ideas. And they definitely don’t want kids to understand that. www.theguardian.com/books/articl...

There’s a slim chance I might be in a position to hire an editorial/political cartoonist in the near future. Specifically for US-related issues around the economy and labor rights. Not a ton of work but paid. Feel free to share and/or DM me if you think you might be able to help.

I started losing my hearing when I was in my 30s, although I didn’t know it at the time. I thought that how my ears worked was just how all ears worked. It seemed completely normal to look someone in the mouth when they spoke. There are more people than you’d expect with poor dental hygiene. #HoH

If it's any consolation, Greenpoint is a giant toxic dump. Even more than the rest of New York! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenpo...

I read this as if they were all some sort of weird hockey fans.

One unexpected fun thing about being #HoH is that my dog, who is mostly a lazy dummy and not a service dog, has really stepped up to let me know when someone at the door or when a car is coming around a corner or things like that.

These corruptions build up - the graft, the double standards, the gaslighting, the self-dealing. After a while they not only cripple the institutions and the ability of those institutions to recover but also, ultimately, faith that those institutions are worth recovering. That’s where this goes.

We’re fucked.

It really seems so. Corporate America has such gold fever about AI that theres an absolute land rush to simultaneously use it and justify its use, regardless of its utility or effectiveness.

Words cannot describe how much I hate the capitalist enshittification of sports. www-nbcnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.nbcn...

NBC to use AI-generated version of Al Michaels' voice during Summer Olympicswww-nbcnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org “Your Daily Olympic Recap on Peacock” will feature narration from a “high-quality A.I. re-creation” of the legendary sports broadcaster's speaking voice.

Oh man, I just heard. I didn’t know her well but she was at WildStorm while my wife was still there and we crossed paths briefly. So sad.

Perfect t-shirt. Someone please make that.

It might be worth noting too, in comics, that the advance really only comes into play if you sell a book. A graphic novel. It rarely (if ever!) is part of a standard page rate for a monthly comic where the publisher owns the IP (Spider-Man, Batman, etc.)

Yeah. I think ZUDA did some genuine good for a lot of artists. But it’s hard to look at the history of comics publishers and just ignore decades long patterns of IP theft.

I’m sure that in the end ZUDA was a financial loss for DC. The whole business model was pay up front for the comics and invest in the lions share of the IP long term. That’s 14K per comic, 18 comics per year…and then tank the line and revert the IP after 3 years because of a management change.

I’d love to know what that showed. At the time we had posted our contracts publicly. I think you could earn something like $14K per year max on the webcomic itself - which was a HUGE bargain from DCs side. And then there were rev share percentages on other stuff.

That happened?!

The line “Since 1900, every time a Republican president has taken over, economic inequality has increased and the country has become more violent” really jumps out. I work at @epi-org.bsky.social (creative) and we recently released a report that supports this 100% www.epi.org/publication/...

Economic performance is stronger when Democrats hold the White Housewww.epi.org The economy performs much better during Democratic presidential administrations than during Republican ones.  

If only I had seen this then. Apologies!

Oh my god. Brilliant.

It’s my dream job. Plot based on the lyrics of The Stooges’ Search and Destroy.

Freelance artists get the absolute shortest straw when it comes to their work. No unions, no protections, blatant exploitation…people are conditioned to place no value on their labor.

You would be appalled at how many artists - great artists! - forget this.
