Sept 22 is National Girls Night In (Day).

Your local creepies are using the opportunity to be rightfully lazy.
(Harrison is an honorary girlie)

If you want to read more about my terrible children, you can pick up my young adult horror comic MEAT EATERS, published by Oni press. Book places have it.

Description:

An illustration of a bedroom in low warm light. There are three college kids in lounge wear resting on, or around a bed. Ashley is on the far left, painting her toes and reading from her phone.

To her left is Motley and Harrison. Motley lies on her stomach on the bed while Harrison, in a full fluffy robe and a towel twisty on his head, paints her nails.

Ashley declares: ‘Oh, here’s one. Hexus, from FERN GULLY–’

Motley and Harrison cut her off with a: 'WOULD.’

Ey!

Ey!

Our local roller derby, the Arizona Derby Dames, is running a tshirt contest! And I thought I’d throw a few designs into the ring.

If you like any of them, you can vote here.

It would be cool if one of them ended up on a shirt.

She’s perfect.

She’s perfect.

Description:

Two pictures. The first picture is a four panel comic. It features me, stopped at the door to a room, looking at something off panel. I turn around and leave the room with a sigh. When I return, I’m looking down at something in my hands. In the last panel I am holding up my phone to take a picture of the subject in the room.

The second picture is my orange tabby, Little Lady, asleep on my unmade bed. Sparkles all around. She’s an angel.

“Girls want a Superman, but they walk past a Clark Kent every day”

You fuckin CLOWNS think you’re a CLARK KENT? Not on my fuckin watch. You dumb, headass motherfuckers are barely a Guy Gardner and you think you’re a CLARK KENT? The amount of disrespect is unreal.

Listen here, wannabes: My boi Clark is 240 lbs of PURE KANSAS BEEF trained from a young age by Ma Kent to Love and Respect women as the Intelligent, Independent beings they are.  He is shy rambling about tractors and casually moving the copy machine when my pen falls behind it and he would NEVER demand I be sexually or romantically interested just because he’s nice.

Y’all ain’t Clark Kent.

I have never hit the reblog button so damn fast.

“barely a Guy Gardner” is the sickest comics related burn I’ve heard to date. 

Everything that they said but also…

The fun thing about Clark is that he is Superman’s UNDERSTANDING of what a human should be. Which is infinitely more engaging to me than Superman.

Superman is god tier. Superman is unreachable by the common man. His ideals are to be internalized, certainly, but we will never jump over a building in a single bound.

Superman is a nebulous concept.

CLARK KENT is humanity. A reflected mirror from someone who can honestly call themselves a third party. It is everything HE wishes he could engender from US.

When WE dream of being our best selves, we dream of being Superman.

When Superman dreams of being his best self, he dreams of being CLARK.

…

(But this is just my humble opinion.)

(From someone who would like to read and fawn over more Clark Kent books than Superman ones.)

(Honestly though, I wish more books explored capes navigating their day to day as civilians.)

(Give me a corporate drama with Bruce Wayne. Give me a journalism thriller with Clark Kent. These things intrigue me.)

GREAT DAY FOR BRAZIL, FELLAS!!!

ok i might need to elaborate on why this is such a big deal.

So, Brazil had a dictatorship, military coup, that lasted from 64 to 85. On this time period (and i’ll be really short) we had like 5 dictators and oh god, so, SO MUCH torturing, censorship and repression.

People that were killed are still missing. And none of the military heads that did it were ever arrested. Much less judged. Much less sentenced.

There was this air of impunity, that Brazil would not move forward because when push came to shove, no one arrested the big guys, the masterminds, the people that caused all of that.

UNTIL NOW

Bolsonaro is a fucked up right winger, backed by Trump. When this spineless coward lost it’s election, he, just like Trump, incited a riot (ours was January’s 8, 2023) that tried to silence the opposition and change the election results.

The people on the said riot went through trial and many paid fines or got arrested.

But the military core and Bolsonaro still walked free. We we fought for this not to repeat.

So for the VERY FIRST TIME IN THE STORY OF THIS COUNTRY, we finally, FINALLY, got justice against those who attempted against the democracy. And for that he was found guilty of:

Armed militia.Attempt of violent dissolution of the democratic state.Coup d'etatQualified damages for violence and serious threat (they had a plan to kill the actual president, Luís Inácio, and the supreme court head, Alexandre.)Deterioration of historic heritage

And for those crimes, he’s sentenced for 27 seven years and 3 months of jail time.

Not only this, the rest of the heads went with him. 26 years for the ex-minister of defense Walter Braga Netto, 24 years for the ex-minister of justice and secretary of defense Anderson Torres, ex-commander of the marine Almir Garnier got 24 years. Augusto Heleno, ex-minister of security affairs got 21, another ex-minister of defense got 19, and lastly, Alexandre Ramagem, who was the director of Brazil’s intelligence agency got 16 years.

I can’t explain, without telling the whole story of the last 100 years of this country how big this is.

This is a landmark. This change tides. This gave us hope.
