I get that. Collaborative mediums are always tricky. I hate that unquestionably innocent artists suffer because of the accusations against Gaiman, for example. And lots of people worked on the Potter movies that absolutely don't share Rowling's hateful views. Same for Whedon stuff.

It seems like Fillion and company wouldn't be making as much of a production out of this if they didn't have some way of going forward with something.

I would expect that Whedon wouldn't be involved, other than the acknowledgement that he created the series and probably an Executive Producer credit. There are plenty of other writers that worked on the show still around.

Could he spike it? I guess it depends on the original contracts. Will he?

I'm always bemused when I give a passerby a smile and hello and they reply with, "No, thank you." (Or just shuffle by faster.)

I'm not doing a sales pitch. I'm just trying to be personable and make the con feel like a friendly space.

THIS. So much this.

This is a huge reason that I do so few conventions. I just simply can't afford to do them.

It's a huuuuuge financial gamble.

As if no "family man" has ever committed sexual assault? As if the discussion of exceptions to abortion bans in cases of incest don't happen all the time! Which is perpetrated, by definition, by family men.

Wow.

I have personally backed 143 projects. The Winchester-Nabu Detective Agency comic books are now LIVE on Kickstarter featuring art by Haley Rose-Lyon, Lane Lloyd, Eric Grissom, and Anthony Hary! Gus & Ollie appreciate your pledge! www.kickstarter.com/...

You do NOT have to compare them to another more well established artist.

Sincerely, someone who is constantly getting compared to Mignola without enjoying any of his professional stability or opportunities.

I do not expect everyone who comes to my table to buy something. You don’t gotta tell the creators you have no money, they also have no money. You can just make eye contact, tell them you really like their work and subscribe to their newsletter. That goes a long long way!

That isn't an overinflated opinion of how many people would come to see me, just an acknowledgement that I can't afford to travel the country doing shows on my own dime.

I'm always surprised how many folks seem to think we get all our books for free from the publisher. Especially untrue for self-pubbed work.

Likewise, people often ask why I'm not at any particular con. I always reply, "They haven't invited me. If you'd like to see me there, let them know!"

Coming soon: Laser Joan and the Rayguns A 24 pg one shot adventure comic about an all-female rock band collecting the three stories that originally ran in DARK HORSE PRESENTS.

LASER JOAN & THE RAYGUNS has launched! Me, @djkirkbride.bsky.social @robertwilsoniv.bsky.social @gofrankgo.bsky.social @jordantboyd.bsky.social hope you enjoy this 10th annv collection of the DHP serial into a one-shot. Explore a world where the biggest rock band were also spies, and see how ...

I've never worked with Dark Horse, so I have no great insights into the current shake up. My best wishes go out to the creators and staff that this will work out okay for them.

My sympathies. I run into that kind of thing a fair amount. Only recently learned why. (Late, late, late ADHD diagnosis.) Glad to hear it's not a recurring thing for you

But even once sucks!

Oh, no!

MonstHER, my next creator-owned project, keeps getting closer and closer to being complete!

Shouldn't be surprising, but always is!

So yeah we’re funded and you still got some days to grab a copy. And if we can get to 100 backers there will be something. I dunno what yet. I haven’t asked @djkirkbride.bsky.social even. But something. You’ll see.

Hate when trained professionals (cops, PIs, spies) in TV/movies go on the run & do NOTHING to alter their appearance. Not hair color. Not hats (a wool cap & a ball cap are solid for a quick change of appearance). Not a jacket over a hoodie to allow for a swift look shift look to throw off pursuit.

Pretty sure bribing doctors runs in the family.

Hope you're able to find something to help you recharge!

It's truly bizarre to me that I miss when Netflix got everything and I didn't have two dozen watchlists.

The #Kickstarter is in week 3! Gus & Ollie's comics include: "The Case of the Roughed-Up Rodent" and "The Case of the Bloody Burrow Gang" from The Winchester-Nabu Detective Agency. New Add-Ons Announced! www.kickstarter.com/... #comics #comicbooks #cats #catsky #SistersInCrime

And they're so cavalier about it because they get to pretend to be tough guys while other people do the dying.

Those can be a real gut punch.

No criticism intended. Your statement was correct and was the catalyst for my follow up.

My condolences to you and all who loved her. So very sorry for your loss.

Also, is it "editorial neutrality" when the people writing/editing only have cis lived experience? Aren't they biased by that?

It's the same old bull. The group that benefits from some form of oppression claims to be unbiased while accusing the oppressed of bias.

Ah, but you're presuming we're decent.

If it was good enough for Lost In Space, it's good enough for me!
