A tall metal gate painted with an orange village visited by a brown sushi and sashimi boat on blue river. Little purple people eat the giant sized sushi after unloading it from the boat.

The back of an electrical box with a blue kitchen where little purple figures make noodles with a chopped boiled egg.

Front of the electrical box showing a large red bowl with noodles, eggs, meat and seaweed. It's flanked by blue buildings with purple people preparing the meal, like using a saw to cut large, long green onions. or a group of people using long red chopsticks to lift noodles (which another figure climbs on)

I have so much to say on this subject, always, but I’m on deadline, so I’ll just leave this link to my 2016 @xoxofest.com talk and dip. It’s about money and the chasm between perceived and real β€œsuccess” and being seen. If you’re struggling I hope it makes you feel better. youtu.be/pLveriJBHeU?...

HULK SMASH EVERYTHING is an EXTREMELY fun book. So far we've dropped the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs on top of him, then threw him into Sagittarius A* (the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy) - where he smashed out at the end of time to fight Galactus. NO REGRETS

Lorenzo has put so much work into his creative baby and he deserves every bit of your support. Its hard out here for black indie creators. Many times we must build our own roads & construct our own gates. As a comics professor and professional I see it a lot. Support it if you can or spread the word

A round, cartoony, silver face with cyan outline and squiggly smile and orange warmth. It is flat across the bottom and has one wispy animal  ear and one that looks like a word balloon coming from its head with a 26 on it, the date.

I’m sorry to keep doin the β€œback our kickstarter” dance in Times Such As Theseℒ️, but I’m truly so proud of the work Rusty & Jodie & Atla & the folks at Iron Circus & I put into this comic, it’s been an act of joyful creation in a sea of despair. Please support our work if you can, and thank you πŸ™

The fortress stands far to the north.
For years it had no master - until mercenaries found it and claimed its walls.
Now it is the last refuge of people in the lands of Syneria.
Beyond the gates there is only cold, silence. and monsters waiting in the snow.

1. Today we celebrate Toronto’s 182th birthday. Which is pretty weird. Because Toronto isn’t 192 years old. And it wasn’t founded in March.

Here goes my annual rant…

(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa)

BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history.
REGINALD: Wow! What's it do?

BEARTATO: It... what?
REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do?

(Beartato thinks.)

BEARTATO: I don't know.

REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do?

EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this!

(The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet)
MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk!

(Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)
