🪞 Before & After Challenge Post a rough sketch and the finished panel so we can ooh and aah over the transformation. ✏️➡️🖌️

I've got them all, as well, but I'm super-extra excited about this one. It's such a great concept!

Burnout is one of the most misunderstood problems in a creative career. Cartoonists often interpret it as a failure of discipline. Let's talk about what's really happening — and how to overcome it. buff.ly/yYDT9Se

With the macronanos temporarily out of the way, Dr. Muskiday should be concentrating on how to neutralize them. Instead, he has a more troubling question on his mind. www.evil-inc.com

I just backed "Check out Anatomy of Monsters" by my pal @davekellett.bsky.social on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/sma... You should, too!

Art breaks count, too. Take a walk, dance like no one’s watching, then come back stronger. 💃🏽🖌️

You gave today what you had. That’s all anyone can ask. Now tuck in, dream deep, and let tomorrow sort itself out. 🌙✨

I’ve noticed the “talking to / talking at” shift as well, but I don’t think it’s a Bluesky thing. I think it could be fatigue due to several years of social-media interactions — many of which may have been somewhat negative.

Book a 30- or 60-minute session, and we'll sit down and discuss the best ways to improve your comic, its publishing, and promotion. Doing a Kickstarter? We'll do a pre-flight, and you can add the cost of the session into your goal so it pays for itself!

That's wonderful! 😀

I guess it depends on what you mean by "loitering."

Totally worth it! 😀

There's power in persistence.

A creative person finds themself at a crossroads, and they need to make a decision. And in a moment of weakness, they do something that dooms them: They ask their readers what to do. buff.ly/eIWXv8z

My heart is very full after another lovely Comic-Con! Genuine thanks to everyone who came by to say hi. I spend 360 days a year in a quiet little studio...and 5 days a year getting to see your lovely faces at Comic-Con. Your kind words carry me through the rest of the year. THANK YOU, FRIENDS!
