A google maps view of the area around the Strait of Hormuz, with crude markup showing the 4 steps to successfully clearing the strait:

1. Build up speed
2. Hit Trampoline
3. Cool backflip
4. Nail the landing

The boat is illustrated using a clip art yacht, and the trampoline is also just kind of floating there.

- Panels should not bleed into the gutter.
- Comics are the greatest story telling medium ever invented.
- There is no difference between manga and comics.
- Characters should be allowed to have soliloquies.
- Sound FX should be done as part of the art not the lettering.

- Lettering should come after layouts and before pencils.
- Publishers should do flatting in-house.
- There is no such thing as "backgrounds" it's actually "setting" and it's as important as the characters.

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

Here’s why @heatherantos.bsky.social is the best:

If you deliver a script that she really likes, she just may send you a reward like this in the mail.

On TikTok, you have to refer to Kathleen Hanna’s band as “Bikini Unalive.” I think society is cooked and we need to destroy the internet.
