shoutout to the majority of people in this country dealing with this mundane situation on the daily while nobody is talking about it in art or media.

whenever I deal with an American editor or some type of gatekeeper with at least a bachelor degree I’m usually made to feel like comics about modern American poverty are more obscene or subversive than a Suehiro Maruo or Johnny Ryan comic. wild stuff man.

I ain’t really no kinda writer but sometimes my notes are funny to me.

I'll be at @smallpressexpo.bsky.social this September but as a jerk with no work for sale. Just wobblin' around with stickers to hand out, bugging other cartoonists at their tables, and fighting the badge guy.

i was just thinking about how ppl who don’t go to college are shut out of the resources necessary to make creative work happen

poor characters are usually either jokes or tragic. rarely allowed to be seen as just regular people, a fact of everyday life. on cory carson, i kept trying to push for the construction worker family to be portrayed as more realistically low-income, but it was deemed "too heavy a subject matter"

Rev. Dr. Derek M Ballard PhD

if you look real close at culture you'll see that most creators come from middle to upper middle class backgrounds. the poor are written about A LOT. but don't get no chance to speak for ourselves. obviously this creates wonky misshapen caricatures.

interesting story: in the 2nd photo you can see Rose's childhood Silverhawks pillowcase. she'd never seen the show. when I first saw it I told her back in 2010 I was gonna go mow the lawn of the guy that created the show but he got murdered & dismembered the day I was supposed to be at his house.

Rev. Dr. Derek M Ballard PhD

I drew Rose in her big sleeping mask & she got it printed on a pillowcase for me as a gift.

just wanna remind everyone that ppl like me that make $20k or less per year are the majority. anything that says otherwise is false.

Rev. Dr. Derek M Ballard PhD

I primarily make comics for folks that work their butts off & make $20k per year. Obviously, anyone can enjoy them, but it def hits different.

Great Substack about UPA, the animation studio that revolutionized cartoons in the 1950s. Founded by the leftist animators who were purged by Walt Disney during the infamous 1941 strike, it was UPA that dragged animation into midcentury mod. Mr. Magoo was their big hit.

Animation Obsessive

The book Inside UPA is a visual tour of one of the greatest animation studios of all time. With its author's permission, we've shared the whole thing online for free. Our latest issue dives into the book and UPA's place in animation history: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/stepping-i...
