A two panel comic of Loki from A Bad God's Guide to Being Good. In the first panel he's looking breezy and innocent and holding up a book. He's saying, "I think it's great that children read prose novels." In the second panel, he's looking more mischievous and saying, "It's a perfectly GATEWAY to comics."

Let's kill "comics are a gateway to reading" dead please?

A six panel comic of a man and a woman where their word balloons are actually other panels (there are no words) indicating future actions and explaining why they did what they did.

a three panel comic about Sรธren Kierkegaard in which the text of the man reads backwards and the dog forwards "Life can only be understood backwards" and the dog "but it must be lived forwards"

It's that time in my Making comics intro course when I talk image-text relations, which gives me an excuse to share 2 favorite comics that do bewildering things that can only be done in comics! Ibn Al-Rabin's seminal Le Verbe Prophรฉtique alongside the always brilliant @tomgauld.bsky.social. So good!

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

A digital illustration done in black and white graphite style. Toshiro Mifune as his unnamed ronin character in Yojimbo. With both swords prominently on view in his belt, he has his arms pulled inside of his black kimono with one hand coming up through the collar to stroke his chin as he gives some sharp side eye to the right, scheming. In a text box in the upper right corner is what I sincerely hope is an accurate Japanese translation of โ€˜maybe it will happen todayโ€™.

I had the pleasure of interviewing the incomparable @angeliqueroche.bsky.social about First Freedom, her upcoming graphic novel, written by Roche & published by @oni-press.bsky.social. The research & care she put into this is clear, and a reminder of how vital works like this are now more than ever.
