summing up my new book: nonbinary fox barista deals with shit from two gays: one hapless human & one butterfly immortal (thankfully there is a third, emotional support twink) while trying to run the family cafe. there's jokes. there's a silly small dragon. there's twink obliteration.

Huh. I did not know the other Apothecary Diaries manga adaptation is being published by Viz. Yeah, I buy a lot of Viz manga because they caught me in their app after Comixology was eaten by Amazon.

I’ve been seeing this screen cap a lot lately, and as someone who built web sites for magazines starting in 2000, it’s not really accurate. Libraries are funded, and they pay for their books. The early internet was predicated on the idea that everything should be free. No one pays anything.

Cool how he just casually states that he is going to enslave and sell sentient beings. Not sure how an empty prop can think or feel, but this is the world genius who started a colony on Mars, so let's keep giving him money.

Alright, I guess I'm doing this. I HAVE RETURNED TO PATREON. Most of you are aware that I lost my day job and have been unceremoniously thrust into the role of a full-time Comic Person. While my lettering work is certainly robust, I still need more help than that. www.patreon.com/cw/longtallj...

Note for Ned Leeds fans: If Marvel announces a movie titled Spider-Man versus Wolverine, don't watch it.

I thought that sounded really odd. He wanted a change so he voted for the guy who had already served a term and done an insurrection over it?

The chart explains AI hype more than any chart that's ever been charted.

I'll pretend to be surprised when the ending sets up Secret War, an already-announced movie based on a crossover event from a decade ago.

The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

God, the inadvisability of this ad is insane. this is doubling down on the fact that you are a specific kind of hateful evil that most middle-class-and-above people do not even have to contemplate the existence of

I want to emphasize that I'm not a paid shill, but I just noticed that Sweet Shop is debuting with a massive bundle sale with many, many books up to 95% off. Some absolutely wild deals are in that app for the next two weeks. (I recommend the White Ash bundle, because of course I do.)

When Spock said "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few," he was talking about his own sacrifice. He wasn't rounding up civilians to throw in the warp core.

Help, they made Warhammer bishonen.

Have you heard the good news about A QUIET PLACE: RISING TIDES? Because it's a very good comic book. collider.com/a-quiet-plac...

Good, looooong, story that is all to familiar to lgbtq folks.

"Once cryptocurrency deflates enough, it will replace the dollar!" "If you put an NFT of your dinner receipt on the blockchain, you'll be rich!" "In the future, cities will be abandoned as we live in the metaverse full time!" "AI is real!" Sure, babes.
