THIS. This is the part people just aren't *getting* about gAI. It is a tool of oppression and authoritarianism. It is *designed* to make you incurious and rob you of your own creativity and ability to *think*, to make you *easier to control*.

Last week I shared that I’m hiring a junior designer, but, also, our trade art department as a whole has a total of 5 open roles right now. All new seats, not from turnover.

Scrooge McDuck is the fictitious ethical billionaire that earned his way from rags to riches and whose wealth actually trickles down.

Almost all of Duck Tale’s villains are real-life capitalists; tech entrepreneurs, short-sighted investors, self-entitled moguls, and uh-… Greedy witches.

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras.

This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

If the Spanish language triggers you, world flags anger you, and an uplifting message against hate sends you into a rage, you might be a white supremacist.

So, politics isn’t for you? Maybe it should be.

Fascism doesn’t arrive overnight. It creeps in through apathy, silence, and the idea that β€œthis stuff doesn’t affect me.” Graphic novels have always been a frontline medium; cheap, urgent, emotional, and impossible to ignore.

A comic in black/white/blue.
Lucy rolls her bike through an alley, by a crew building a fence.
Narration: My neighbors hired a crew to rebuild their fence.
Crew member: "Do you need us to move our stuff out of the way?"
Lucy: "Oh! No, you're all good, thanks!"
Lucy: "Have a good one!"
Crew member: "You, too!"

Crew member: "Do you need us to move our stuff out of the way?" Lucy: "Oh! No, you're all good, thanks!" Lucy: "Have a good one!" Crew member: "You, too!"

Narration: I was teaching when my phone started lighting up with alerts from the rapid response network and neighbor chat.
Lucy's back is to us as she shows a group of enthusiastic children something on a notebook. Behind her, her phone in her bag is buzzing.

Narration: By the time the lesson was over, they were already gone.
Lucy is reading messages on her phone.
Messages: 
Alert: black SUV
Sighting: be on alert for...
Confirmed abductionL alley between ----- and ----. SUV plates...
We tried to get them inside, but it was too...
...Contacting an I.R. lawyer. Heading to Broadview later today.

Lucy is riding her bike home.
Narration: On the ride home, I kept thinking "If I'd been there, could I have warned them? Would my ICIRR* training have helped?"

Narration: I'd taken the training after Halloween, when the violent ICE raids had locked down our schools and driven our neighbors indoors.

(Image of a halloween bucket in the shape of a jack-o-lantern)

Narration: Halloween is fun here-- The community filling the streets and opening our doors to one another. But this year's was tense, frightened and subdued. Haunted.

Lucy is standing in the alley, staring at the newly built fence.
Narration: When I got home, it was all done. The other two guys who had gotten inside in time stayed and finished the build.

The new fence is superimposed with the brief exchange from earlier in the comic ("Have a good one" You, too")
Narration: I see it every day and think about how those guys built this in the spot where strangers in masks took their friend.

Narration: How many other places in our communities are similarly haunted?
(Drawings of sidewalks, buildings, streets and windows)

A sketchbook spread, laying flat on a desk. On the left is a vertical comic that shows: a door opening to a bookshop with 4 people inside. Close up in a half orc, Mags. Close up on a half elf, Dahlia. Mags questioning the group, Dahlia struggling to get her sentences out. Background darkening in 3 panels, edges crumbling as Dahlia loses consciousness. 
Then a doodle of 3 people sitting down drinking, laughing and arguing. A doodle of mags scowling and Dahlia grinning up at him. A doodle of mags and Dahlia walking arm in arm. A bird holding a flower. Dahlia holding Avras hand as they chat. 
Bottom left has an illustration of Sonnet and Daffodil holding each other.
