Happy Birthday Carrie Fisher!
[B. October 21st, 1956-∞]
“When I love, I love for miles and miles. A love so big it should either be outlawed or it should have a capital and its own currency.” - Carrie Fisher
Variant cover for issue #3 of Blackbird, a gorgeous comic illustrated by Jen Bartel. So excited that I got to work with her, her elegant artwork was a big inspiration for this piece :) More info here - https://imagecomics.com/comics/releases/blackbird-3
I like to think of it like this: there are a ton of philosophies based on the idea that the universe is mostly uncaring, but the difference is how you finish the sentence. The universe is uncaring so nothing matters is nihilism, so we have to make our own meaning is existentialism, and so we ought to just make life strange and good for us and those around us while we're here is absurdism.
Science has never come closer to a human/blobfish hybrid than when I’m shambling around my apartment trying to make it to the kitchen at one in the morning without waking anybody up because I’m dying my hair topless and need to rinse it in the sink so I don’t stain the tub.
