#it's hard to start

I've received a few comments on various social media about drawing a Donald that's too fat/thick/chubby and (and the occasional other things such as version or clothing) my response is:

I'm the artist and I'm drawing in my free time. If you don't like it, you can freely request other versions of him from me using my askbox.

Better yet, go ahead and pick up a pencil yourself. This isn't a threat, I promise. No matter your skills, art is for everyone. Whether you've got 60 years experience, or are basically a toddler with a crayon, don't ever let that stop you from making the art you want to see.

every prehistoric human reconstruction has me thinking “I want to smoke weed with this bitch”

she looks like she would have been an awesome neighbor, like she would have loved menthols and called me baby

comics as an art form make me insane. they’re so difficult to do well. there’s so many different ways to make sequential art work and most of them are deeply unintuitive. onomatopoeia that feels completely ridiculous to put down often reads seamlessly. panels on a page become a fractally nested image composition challenge that’s only possible to lose because if you do a good job no one will notice. you have to direct the readers’ eyes on a specific path across the page but also account for the fact that they won’t follow it. comic time isn’t linear. if the order of events isn’t crystal clear the story becomes incomprehensible. sometimes you need to do this on purpose. all this for a medium almost universally considered less effective than animation and less respectable than plain text. even its own name doesn’t take it seriously

imagine you are a fourteen year old kissass and the teacher you are sucking up to tells you to bully the shit out of the new kid, and you say sir yes sir. fast forward a couple years and suddenly your teacher decides he thinks that loser new kid is the actually the shit and he starts spoiling the hell out of him. now you and your least favorite classmate are locked in a fierce battle to see Who Can Be The Biggest Teacher's Pet and for some fucking reason the little dickhead is winning. he won't shut up about how the teacher who told you to kick his ass a few years ago is definitely going to marry him as soon as he's legal. unfortunately(?) before this happens, he dies(?) and now your teacher is depressed and you have bigger problems than worrying about losing the Favorite Student competition even though your competitor is dead. except he's not dead and now he's back and stupidly hot and also he has lost his fucking mind because your teacher killed himself in his arms, and now you have to run a mountain because your teacher is dead. except he's not dead either and now your former favorite punching bag is threatening to blow this whole place up because he wants to be loved, and you're wondering if maybe that bullying in your adolescence had longterm psychological effects. fast forward again and you are still in charge of a mountain about half the time because your teacher is too busy fucking the kid he told you to bully 15+ years ago

I don't really have a punchline to this, ming fan's life is so fucking weird

you know what's a chapter 4 idea i have that has absolutely no basis in the text but that i still believe with all my heart?

if gerson had somehow managed to get his letter delivered to the light world while maintaining the exact wording he chose when he wrote it, alvin would've been able to misunderstand it. just like he always misunderstood him while he was alive.

asking Susie to transcribe it for him was both a way to encourage her creativity and physically necessary to carry the message from dark world to light world. but i do think he couldn't say it right on his own. her translation helped the message be passed on in more than one way

In a heartbeat, he was back in front of Viktor. In the next, he had taken his partner by the waist and guided him backward until his shoulders met the chalkboard. Then he kissed Viktor like he meant it.
