Unbelievable amount of police cruisers at Bloor and Islington in #Toronto right now as protestors block the bike lanes that Doug Ford has ordered removed. I've read ranges from 18-33+ police cruisers. Multiple arrests. Tacks and nails found in bike lanes nearby […] [Original post on guelph.social]

NEW EPISODE.... So... let's talk about the shutting down of another webcomic platform, and what it was like in the early days... screentonescast.com/view/202

Ford has bankrupted Ontario's hospitals in total secrecy. They needed a cone of silence to start and finish this bust out. They got it, and succeeded. ijb.utoronto.ca/ijb-updates/...

Tbh every community in Ontario should be worried about what this bike lane thing means. Are you excited for any new local infrastructure, wherever you are? A park, a traffic light, an event...? If the premier gets a bug up his ass about it, no matter how petty the reason, it's canceled.

It’s hard enough for cities in Canada to do smarter things given how often bad city leaders hurt their own cities. But it’s extra infuriating watching awful provincial premiers sabotaging cities by ripping out good things they FINALLY managed to achieve. Premiers should not have that power, period.

"Ripping out these protected bike lanes against the will of Toronto city council is a colossal waste of $48 million. The province’s own experts know it will not ease traffic congestion, it will put people’s lives at risk, and there is no network of side streets that could replace these lanes."

In case I needed confirmation that my cat does in fact possess keen hunting instincts, today she caught a bird while on the balcony. I got it away from her and set it back outside (it flew off immediately); now she's all excited, though, and is poking around all over the place looking for action.

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

I'm seeing a few folks unaware during the whole "moving from Tapas to ComicFury" scenario that bears repeating: ComicFury does NOT have an app! Do not download whatever fake CF app is out there. CF has a custom-built mobile viewer on most of its hosted sites. Use the browser website!!

I contrast ABC Toronto’s opposition of University bike lanes in May using a badly faked AI image, claiming it’s a hospital corridor 1st, w dozens healthcare workers rallying this week in support of lanes, w 650 of them signing an open letter to Doug Ford. Very Real vs Very Fake.

Fkin love belt clutter.

I totally forgot to include it in my newsletter, but if folks are in Toronto this weekend, I'll be a part of the 12 hour comics event at Nuit Blanche from 7pm to 7am Details: www.toronto.ca/explore-enjo...

Catching up on last week's episode of Critical Role, every single scene with Azune felt like this

Hey are you a comic artist on Tapas? Are you frustrated with the news? Publish your Tapas comic on Itch.io (either partially or in full, even just 1 chapter) and submit it to the Tapas X Itch.io bundle form here by Oct 30th 11:59pmEST forms.gle/QhQaJ4cXvXKT... #Tapas

REALLY COOL NEWS! My comic Ghost Junk Sickness is going to be officially available in print in French!! Id appreciate any boosts and support if you can to make this campaign reach its goal!! 🔥🙏 madeincomics.fr/produit/ghos...

Today's page!! This one was SUPER fun to ink >:D

It's my birthday! You should check out my multi-award-nominated webcomics inhibitcomic.com (teens with superpowers and depression) and visagecomic.com (what if two men kissed where god could see), and then give @smallpress.scot a follow.

I hope whatever civil engineering firm lands this RFP is haunted at night by visions of the cyclists they'll be killing. I hope their iron ring they were given at graduation when they took an oath to the public starts to itch and weigh on their finger like an anchor.

So there is a fake Comic Fury app in the google play store (see pictured). Don't download this, it's not real. The real Comic Fury site is not owned by the developer and there are no microtransactions. Please help Kyo, the real creator and owner of Comic Fury, by reporting its ass.

Btw TORONTO I'll be at Little Ghosts Festival at the Tranzac this weekend!!! I've got ZINES maybe I'll see you there!!

Like what the fuck are we doing that this isn't being brought up at every meeting. Chat gpt is responsible for one of the worst shootings in Canadian history. I want this banned immediately

Shading chapter 18 of Wychwood, trying to lean into more painterly feeling backgrounds..... they're fun!

Hello fellow webcomickers! We've heard the news about Tapas, so we've updated our list on where to HOST your webcomic. Come check it out! screentonescast.com/view/116 It has info cards on what we've gathered from multiple options for you to consider!

FYI, from Toocheke. They added a Tapas migration feature.

You know, I'm seeing a lot of blame?? placed on webcomic creators for using Tapas instead of their own hosting site, and I'm just saying like...can we not? Small artist v corporation, guess which one always wins Anyway, let's work on options for READERS to build their own reading list, maybe

There's a reason us olds always say to have your own webcomic site and only mirror on hosting sites for extra reach. But I really feel for people whose comics found their audience, or their income, on Tapas. You don't get to choose where your work resonates. Fewer options=bad. Webtoon monopoly=bad.

come lament with us the timing couldn't be better (worse)

Hey fellow webcomickers and readers! Did you know that my peers and I have been working on cataloguing all of the webcomics from ALL over the web in one spot for you to check out? You should submit your comic if you haven't, or find a new comic to read! webcomictravelogue.com

Mucking around with markers to draw Tiara!

The FINAL THREE DAYS It's time to scream 💖 CROWN & ANCHOR is a sci-fantasy swashbuckling adventure with 3 whole books available right now! It's FULLY FUNDED, so if you want a sure thing, it's HAPPENING! We have shiny stretch goals to pilfer too! 📚 Check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ala...

I got to attend Comitia years ago and it was wonderful! It immediately set a high water mark for me for comic which sadly seems farther away than ever in North American convention spaces.

i often try to replicate this effect in digital paintings which is probably saying something about how my approach to digital paintings secretly wants to be something other than digital painting
